Hows your Mercedes Brakes doing?

GLE 350 2022, I upgraded to the MB larger SUV, nice size rear spaces, car sits high, MB Tech seating( I recommend a cloth seat cover. On my previous MB GLC 300, 2020, the drivers seat wore out after 1 year...yes wore out. The dealer said the seats were stained by wearing Jeans, I hardly wear jeans and had a towel on the seat at all times. The detail-er told me he cant do anything the finish is wore off..I think now MB with the MB Tex is paint sprayed on. MB is very petty with the Mercedes Me, you only get one year of free services, lock/unlock doors, remote start etc...My last two MB were 2 or 3 years. The real issue I had is the front brakes had to be replaced at 13,000, MB offered the explanation that brake assist cause one pad to wear out prematurely? Cost over $700
Stalled at 5,960 miles!!!

We bought the SUV in May and it stalled in the middle of the road at 5,960 miles. Mercedes Me Connect took a while to connect me to a live person after several tries. The tow truck finally arrived after 3 hours. The RED message on my dashboard screen said stop the vehicle for there was danger of overheating; that something was broken with the 48 volt hybrid system. I lost power very shortly then. Jeff, a service advisor from MB of El Paso said that the soonest they can look into it would probably be in 2 weeks. It will be 1 week tomorrow and I have not heard from the El Paso dealership. Vehicle loaners from the dealership were unavailable till May next year. Beware, Mercedes Benz is definitely NOT "nothing but the best".

I am amazed at the assembly quality and the extreme quietness of the ride, not forgetting that for such a heavy SUV the mpg count is great! at an overall 56 mph of 27.2 mpg!

Extra leg room is improved. Headlights are the best. I am very pleased Mercedes went away from run flat tires. They are noisy, rough, and cannot be repaired. Fit and finish is excellent. Drives great!

Purchased the 450 unit in March 2023 brand new and on month later ; 3 visits to to the service department to fix a defective right front passenger cooling fan. This saga required two overnight week long stays. Hold on it gets better, three months later an indicator flashes : shut engine down immediately! Results in another trip back to its new home, the service department to replace the oil diverter valve ; another week lost. 9 months of ownership with 7K miles driven, this unit ranks lower than my 1984 Z-28 I expected a better product after donating 100K to the Mercedes Family. Let’s pray my ordered RS Q8 operates mechanically better, or it’s back to the best car family ever ; Honda [ 1980 Prelude / 5 in the floor and no AC ].

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

I like the car but the 4 cyl has to go . You will not feel like your driving a Luxury car and more like a 4 cyl Hyundai. There were no 6 cyl available , I had to take what they had at the time . Also , I had it to 3 DIff dealerships 4 times before they could fix an annoying alarm. ALmost got rid of it but finally they fixed it ( I Hope) This is my first and last MB way too glitchy. Will be going back to Lexus
Beautiful Car - but lots of defects

Bought what I thought was my dream car - and it's has spent more time in shop than on the road - super disappointed and looking to go to a different manufacturer. MB has been nothing but disappointed in both the vehicle and their customer service

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.
