Check your brake pads
My 5th Mercedes. Upgraded from GLC 300 suv. More room. The transmission doesn’t have sport plus. Just sport. I don’t use it need the Park Tronic self park. The one major flaw is the brakes. One pad on the front brakes wore out prematurely only 13,000 miles the passenger front disc brake pad sensor tripped putting an annoying message on your dashboard to replace pads. I went to Mercedes service Shirley thinking it’s a manufacture defect I never had a car to replace brakes at 13,000 miles and I don’t ride the break it’s cost $700. I had to put up a big stink and they gave me something back, but Mercedes didn’t cover it, or omit fault under the warranty, if you get your front brake pads fixed prematurely, make sure you tell them you want your old brake pads the other three brake pads in the front 21 the driver side and one left on the passenger side well had about 20,000 miles left of padding to go. I asked Mercedes to explain what happened. They said it was the brake assist I mean how often do you visit to break an assist. I’m thinking they’re just not building the car. The way it used to be even though it comes it came from Germany. This shouldn’t happen and the quality isn’t there. The other problem I had with the car is the collision system became disabled and I will be getting an alert and a beep it took the service center one week to tell me that the problem was the seatbelt they replaced the seatbelt and they said that that fixed it I’m thinking that that had something to do with the the break prematurely wearing out but they denied that enjoy your car but make sure your fight for something you think isn’t right
Amazing vehicle
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.

Sweet Ride
Great size, not too big and not too small. Rides smooth and the electronics inside are fabulous
Issues galore
I have a 2022 GLE 450. So far I've had the 48V battery issue (car literally flat out died on the highway), a sunroof issue (wouldn't close all the way - took 2 dealership visits), and numerous instances where the car incorrectly interprets a person or object in the way and abruptly stops itself. Something that also bugs me is how rough the car downshifts. It's very jerky and awkward. For $72k, I just expected more/better.

Certified pre-owned from Mercedes-Benz
My wife has a 2020 GLE450, which she leased in 2019 and decided to buy at the lease end in 2022. So, after my BMW X5 lease ended on 10/2023, I decided to get a GLE, too. However, I got the certified pre-owned GLE350 because I do mostly city driving, and I already know the power of the GLE450, which we rarely enjoy due to city driving. The GLE350 is smooth and drives flawlessly in the city. I have been driving this GLE350 for almost five months, and I can tell it has little to envy the GLE450 in the city. I highly recommend the GLE350 if you live in the town and do not have open roads to floor the pedal. If you want to buy one, I recommend you spend a little more and get a Mercedes-Benz certified pre-owned or a non-MB dealer one with a regularly serviced history per MB recommendations. Otherwise, you might experience the nightmare stories you read about when people buy used MBs that the person who leased it did not change the oil or used regular fuel that wreaks havoc on the highly tuned modern turbo engine.
