I wonder if anyone can help with this please.

I have a 2024 Mercedes Marco Polo (V Class Camper) which we bought for transporting our Pyrenean Mountain Dogs. Recently a Deer ran in front of the vehicle causing damage to the front bumper.

It's just been repaired at a Mercedes Benz Approved workshop. As part of the process, given that the parking sensors and cruise control sensors are set within the front bumper, I understand that the car had to have some kind of electronics reset.

I've driven it today following it's return last week, and I've noticed that when the auto-box is in "Drive", when accelerating there's a significant lag, and failure to drop down quickly to the necessary gear. This is to the extent, that I actually thought at one point the car's engine had cut out / lost power.

My question is, could this "reset" that the bodyshop have done, possibly impacted this part of the engine / gear box electronics?

Any information would be helpful.

Many thanks in advance
