Purchased my first Mercedes, GLE 450 2022. It was a beautiful, luxurious and comfortable SUV but the windshield wipers were a deal breaker. The judder, skip, and chatter so loudly. It was embarrassing to have my guests in my new SUV while the wipers were running. I got rid of this SUV although I took it in twice to have it fixed. The Maitland Mercedes repair service was at best below par. He blamed it on the Florida Summer heat and replaced the wipers' blades. That didn't work. Asked me to wait for the part to replace the entire wiper's mechanism. I waited for two months, but no words from the service department. Finally, I had to call him and he asked me to come in again. Again all they did was just clean the blades, and he blamed and warned me for the next time they will charge me for fixes if I use any cleaners on my windshield. Mind you, I have owned 8 BMWs and I have never had issues with the BMW cars' wipers. If the Mercedes wiper blades were working fine, I would have to desperately try to fix it myself. After just owning this brand new SUV for over two months, I could wait to get rid of it and I did. I sold it back to the dealer! I will never touch another Mercedes again. My many years with BMW were great and will continue to drive a better brand, BMW.

Was hesitant regarding purchasing the GLE 350 because of it’s 4 banger engine. Decided to go with it after an extensive test drive. This engine is not quick from a dead stop, however in more than 95% of all real world driving situations it will surpass your expectations. The interior is by far best in class, making the BMW X5 , and the Lexus RX seem a generation behind. Ride quality is exceptionally comfortable, and initial quality was excellent. I’ve only had the GLE for a month and a half. As with all German luxury brands, resale value is poor, however this doesn’t seem to matter as much on a lease. I just feel good when driving my GLE, and isn’t that what its really all about. UPDATE: This is an update after now owning the GLE for nearly 20 months. The GLE remains a vehicle that I would definitely recommend. It has provided me with reliable service and a surprisingly high fun factor. No issues to report except there is a whistling sound at highway speeds coming from the driver’s side mirror. Others have reported the same issue. Fuel filler door was not perfectly flush with the exterior, this seems to have perhaps remedied itself or I just don’t notice it as much. I keep transmission in ECONOMY mode, it provides for smoother downshifting. If given the choice at this moment, I would definitely buy this vehicle again.

Purchased 2022 new from dealership in November 20121. Car has been in the shop 3 weeks due to a broken driver side wheels hub and steering arm due to factory not lubing parts during assembly. Very disappointed!!! Dealership also taking their time to fix and slow on communication that’s accurate. Dick Dyer Mercedes, Columbia SC

The SUV has plenty of power, beauty but the down shifting of the 9 speed is not smooth. Our 2021 BMW x5 8 speed transmission is very smooth. The GLE has a softer ride than our BMW. I have only 900 miles on my new 2021 GLE and dash has squeaks and minor vibrations over an uneven road surface. The dealer had no luck in correcting them. I am looking for another opinion/solution . The heads up display is large but the reflection from the unit at peak sun periods provides bright spots/small light streaks on the windshield from the CRT corners. If you have the Acoustic Comfort Package, the windshield Infrared reflecting Film creates a dash board reflection in the windshield even when the dash color is black. I would not recommend the Acoustic Package due to the UV film reflection of the dash board. The service manager at my dealership was surprised to see that affect as well. The light streaks appear to be coming from the dust cover for the heads up display unit onto the windshield. No solution other than removing the dust cover in my opinion. The BMW heads up display on my wife's 2021 X3 appears to have a much cleaner install and the display is a less busy graphic/s display. You can not reduce the size of the graphics on the GLE. No light streaks on the BMW version of the heads up display. The factory installed Dash Cam works great, however you must enable it every time you start the car first then open the Mercedes Apps in the MBUX system. I was also surprised the GLE 450 now comes with Cooper Tires (Discoverer) The jury is still out on their performance, comfort, tread wear. As I continue to drive this SUV I found another item that is frustrating, the windshield wipers. There are very noisy during operation and change direction very hard. The jury maybe coming in with a verdict very soon. Currently the Cooper Tires are wearing fast and some rubber is peeling off. The tires have 13000 miles on them. These tires are no conducive for a luxury SUV. The vibration at the dash cover still exist depending on road conditions. In lieu of all of this the GLE 450 is the best SUV I have driven.

Paid 90K for a top of the line GLE 580, performance and comfort the car was amazing, super fast and pretty fun to drive. Electronically it’s a nightmare, the car would randomly not start, in the year I owned it it was at the dealership 4 times for this issue with no resolution, sometimes taking over a week of just sitting at the dealership. Other fun features included the speedometer screen going completely blank repeatedly, the windshield wipers going on randomly, the audio not working at all, the car not shutting off, engine light (dealer claims no codes came up) My 11 year old Cadillac with 130K miles was more reliable then this hunk of junk. Bought new, owned it for a year, good riddance.
