The rear camera opens/closes at ~15-20 MPH, which creates an incredibly annoying and very loud clicking noise. I brought it in for service (1 week after purchasing) and the service manager said "oh, yeah. That is extremely annoying and a well known issue that we can't do anything about".

My lease started on September 9th. The next day while driving "Super" luxury crap, I started to feel the transmission not shifting the way it supposes. Contacted the dealer, and the answer was that I have to drive that car for at least 1000 mi because the smart transmission is learning my driving. What a messy thing. OK, I drove the car for 1000 mi and nothing happened even worse. Return to the dealer, and they said that I needed an update for transmission. OK, done that. After a while, the same thing happened, plus it is not accelerating when needed. You can hear a loud noise from the engine, but nothing else. Plus, when the traffic light turns green and you change your foot from the brake pedal, the car rolls backward. Guess what the dealer said? Right, it is normal for MBenz. Also, you always hear the noise from the back of your car when you start driving or making an almost full stop, the feeling like something in your trunk is moving and making noise, but NO, again it is normal for that crap. I am exhausted from that cat. I was supposed to enjoy driving MBenz, but NO. And there are a lot of different annoying things. Now will try to make as many as possible complaints everywhere. Maybe my review will help people who planning to buy MBenz GLE 350. The two stars only for the look of the car! Thanks!

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 450e 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 9A)

Bought the 2024 450e in twilight blue metallic/macchiato beige interior. 21'wheels, brown walnut trim, DAP, W&C pkg, Winter pkg, Pinnacle trim, pan sunroof, 4 zone climate. The GLE comes with a lot of MBUX tech, takes some getting used to for a first timer. That said, the plug-in is SOOO much smoother and quieter than the gas-only 450 and 350. We've had BMW's for years and needed to replace a larger SUV. Chose between this and the X5. Both were great for different reasons, but the aesthetics drew my wife to the MB. Great ride, super comfortable, no issues after 8 months of ownership. HOWEVER, there is one quirk...the backup camera makes a whirring and clunking noise as if something is rattling around in your trunk. Dealer told us it's a common complaint. It apparently happens because the camera always opens and closes at certain lowspeed mph. The dealer installed the MB sound insulation kit, cautioned me it's not a 100% fix, but it would help. It has, but it's still very noticeable. MB should be more than capable of eliminating this issue. Never had it in any other car we've owned. That said, it's really the only flaw, but it's real and can be annoying.

Love the car….but have gotten 2 broken windshields I the first 1500 miles. I have driven cars for 50 years with only one broken windshield. Am wondering if the windshield is not as strong as in past. The chips are low in the windshield and spider out within a day?

Overall, so many great things to say about this vehicle. Great looks interior and exterior, comfortable, excellent rear leg room, great visibility. However, Mercedes has refused to acknowledge a large issue with the rear camera. The camera will open and close every time the vehicle slows down to 15mph. They say it’s “operating as designed”,but it’s extremely annoying. I hate to even complain about this, but we can’t stop hearing this noise. We applied their “fix””, but no noticeable difference in the noise. I highly recommend you listen for this noise before buying and read the forums. This has been extremely frustrating to many, and Mercedes refusing to acknowledge the issue is extremely disappointing. We submitted a formal complaint to Mercedes with 4 months of purchase and they refused to do anything. We love the car in so many ways, but would return the vehicle if we could given the noise. This may not bother you…but don’t purchase until you check this out.
