The engineers and designers at Mercedes out did themselves on this one. Coming out of an Porsche Cayenne, we had a high bar set for our next vehicle. We looked at just about everything in the category. Nothing we looked at or drove came close to the GLE. This vehicle has a completely un-compromised level of refinement and tasteful luxury not found in the other vehicles in this class.

Windshield wipers are horrible

I have a 4 month old gle 450 decked out not AMG. I have gone to dealership twice already due to a wiprblades skipping all over my windshield. So far it has been improved by about 50 % over when I got it, however, on a luxury vehicle like mercedes, those things should be flawless. I have driven many different cars, and I never had experience like that. I hope they do something about it, or I'm getting Lexus as soon as the new model comes out. And I'm a Mercedes guy.

Bought this new. Dumped it 2 wks before the 100% guarantee was up. 14 months after purchase, the 48 volt battery died. Watched as they towed my $73K SUV away. Can't be jump started. 3. months later, passenger seat split. Wife is 116 lbs. Replaced after a 6wk wait. before the seat cover came in, passenger window wouldn't go up. 4 months later on 7/23 call the dealer, driver seat split. Ordered. 4. on the later, drivers window wouldn't 't go up. on 3/27, they called to tell me seat was in. they replaced it, and drove directly to a different dealership and bought a different brand. When it ran, it was an amazing car. I do believe in lemons, but also know, MB has cut back on quality material to keep prices down.

Annoying distractions

First month I had it, the entire MBUX infotainment system went dark and had to be replaced. From the beginning the driver door has had a wind whistle and the wipers stutter across the windshield. Lately the map refused to download, "please install compatible map chip," and the system warns that the camera is out, disabling the automatic braking, etc. Spent last week in the shop for B service, 3 recalls, plus these items. Service dept. said unable to replicate the camera problem, which is still occurring. I didn't even bother with the wind whistle and the map problem may have been solved with the day-long software download. Waiting for it to rain to see if the new wipers help. Should I return to dealer for the camera problem or just deal with it til end of lease this year. Oh yeah, this is the top of line GLE580 twin turbo V8, so the trim level is not an indication of any higher quality. Similarly equipped BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, and Range Rover Sport are much more expensive. Thinking of trying the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee. Was considering the new Acura MDX S-type turbo, but per reviews, the AC is bad, plus the 3 MDX's I had seemed to attract rocks into the windshield.

Over all, enjoying the heck out of it. I initially thought it would be underpowered, but have been very pleased with the performance. I had a BMW550 before this. The emerald green is forever amazing me with the different shades, and the LOOOOG display continues to amaze me. Only hickup is the darn service reminder - has given me several false notifications. They say that it is mileage and time, but their emails say sensor. Minor, but a constant bug. Just had my Service a, and hope that it works better now. Other concern question is the tire pressure. IMO, they set it high - after my service A, the rear are at 50psi and the front at 41 psi. Seems high, but only 5k, so not able to see if it is impacting the wear.
