2017 GLE 350 3.5L V6 engine failed on 22K miles

My 2017 MB GLE 350 3.5L V6 4MATIC engine failed on 22k Miles only – it makes ticking noises and some metal debris were found on oil filter, and the local dealer suggested to replace the engine – in the case the car has been driven normally and oil changes were done on the normal schedules. Since it has passed Mfr warranty we have to pay big money to solve the vital issue, which means we have a big loss on the investment. So the comment is: the car isn’t a reliable one and isn’t a valuable long-time investment for sure. Trying to switch to a more reliable Japanese Brands (e.g. Lexus) soon for a long-term satisfaction and money worth.

I bought my 2018 with 8K miles on it in 2019. MB covered the warranty like I bought it from them and all was great while the vehicle was under warranty. Once the warranty was up the battle began - seriously, who charges for shop towels? - and I was ready to go back to my beloved Lexus. Then I tried an indy foreign car mechanic instead of MB and it’s like a new lease on life. The vehicle runs great, is comfortable on longer trips. Yes, gas mileage could be better, but it’s not terrible. My advice is don’t shy away from MB because of potential repair costs through Mercedes, just find a decent mechanic and enjoy the ride!
