2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 450e 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 9A)
Drove off the dealer lot in my new GLE450e, with 8 miles on it. Within two hours, at 16 miles, the hood latch alarm activated and the car would not stay in EV mode. Visual inspection showed the hood was not aligned with right fender, but it was when I left the dealer. Drove back to the dealer and the hood unlatched while driving with a service tech in the car. Service manager thinks … one latch is defective. Received a loaner. Had the car less than four hours, and it suffered a serious safety issue. I was planning on a trip the following day, and I hate to think that the hood could have unlatched and caused me to have an accident at highway speeds. I will update this post when it is repaired. How does a car with an issue like this pass quality control inspections at the factory and at the dealer?
