2025 GLE 350 Perfect….BUT

My BUT is a very big but.This is shockingly uncovered by Edmunds, Car and Driver and the like is a major design flaw in the rear camera. Everytime you slow below 15 mph the rear camera extends with a clunk. Mercedes says it is audibly designed that way so the driver knows it’s working. It’s so loud that you hear it constantly during stop and go traffic as you slow every time below 15 mph. It’s particularly embarrassing when you have friends in the backseat because they think something is wrong; AND IT IS! It sounds like a swipe of the rear wiper blade on a dry rear windshield. I’m shocked that it’s not revealed in magazine reviews by tech writers. All the Mercedes owner forums detail this design flaw. While Mercedes says it’s normal, I say bull. This is not what you would expect from German engineering.

Rear Camera Excessive Noise

We bought the 2025 GLE 350 and the SUV overall is nice but the scraping/clunk noise the rear camera makes when it extends each time you slow below 16 mph is excessive. Mercedes says it’s normal as they ALL do that. I should have been more aware when we test drove it. Ruins the whole ownership experience. I can’t believe Edmunds doesn’t mention it in its review.

I have had my GLE450 for about 6 months now. Overall performance and comfort are excellent. I also have not had any problems except for an extremely annoying noise. The noise is the rear view camera door constantly opening whenever my speed drops below 20 mph and then closing when I exceed 20 mph. It is very noticeable and in stop and go traffic drives me crazy. When I spoke to the dealer about this they said that is how it was designed to operate with the 360 degree camera option and it is not a fault that can be fixed. They said that in MB sedans this also takes place but it is much less audible because of the trunk space between the camera and the cabin. In a SUV this space does not exist. I can’t see myself living with this noise long term. There may be a BMW X5 in my future.

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".

I loved this car when I first saw it, but after owning it for about 2 months it started to have issues. After a call or two to the service department they asked me to bring it in, after 5-6 attempts to fix the problems and 2 months in the shop I finally had enough confidence in the car to just drive it. It is beautiful, I get a lot of compliments. It does not do good in cold/icy weather- and does not handle well is all I’m gonna say. It will hydroplane and also we don’t trust it in the snow and Ice even though it’s all wheel drive. The weather changed here before they completed the repair to the AC that wasn’t working, so I guess I will find out when summer rolls around again if it is really fixed. they wound up having the change my steering wheel to stop the error codes. The customer service is beyond excellent, but the car leaves a lot to be desired. I actually went and leased a toyota that I tend to favor for reliability.
