2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

When turning the steering to maximum wheel camber, the wheel rims roll over the sidewall of the OEM low-profile Pirelli tires, damaging the tires and causing bubbling in the sidewall. This happens at a negligible speed, such as exiting a parking space. This vehicle is 3+ years old with 15k miles. Low-profile tires appear to be incompatible with the steering design.

This vehicle on an ongoing basis is reporting false speed limits. It consistently abruptly drops the indicated speed limit from 70MPH on [XXX] northbound in Salt Lake City. the vehicle slows itself abruptly in traffic that is sometimes dense and traveling 70 to 80. An eventual rear end collision seems likely which could involve multiple vehicles. It intermittently presents the same risk in other locations with no as yet recognized associated variables such as the one location on [XXX]. Exact start and stop of the erroneous speed limit are not consistent. Sometimes brief and sometimes for a mile or more.

Major issue found with engine cylinder head in various models with 2.0 Liter Turbo charged engines (Engine code M260 or M264). Cylinder heads have premature wear at valve seats, causing engine misfires and unsafe driving conditions. (Sudden loss of power, even on freeways.) Mercedes-Benz had improved cylinder head design to mitigate this issue, thus proving that they knew it was their product quality that is causing these unsafe issues. Mercedes-Benz even put out a service bulletin to address these defective cylinder heads. This publication can be found under XENTRY, Topic Number LI01.30-P-072328, Version 8, published 9/26/2023. My contact at Mercedes Dealer informed me that they are seeing a drastic increase in this problem affecting roughly over 25% of the models with these engines. They are beginning to fail at around the same time as the warranty expires. There are numerous stories on the internet concerning this issue, examples can be found in the following links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mercedesbenzowners/posts/10162557430080937/ https://www.mercedesgleforum.com/threads/cylinder-head-replacement-11-500.4399/ We contacted Mercedes-Benz US Headquarters, they do not believe it is their problem and throws petty money around in attempt to strong-arm owners to shut us down. All we request was for Mercedes-Benz to own up to their quality issues and handle the repairs at their expense. Please help me among all the other owners that this is affecting. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Twice within a year a "48 voltage battery malfunction" warning appeared on my dashboard. Then a red warning light appears and I had about 30 seconds to find a safe place to pull over as loss of power causes deceleration of the vehicle . The cause, according to the diagnostic test performed by 2 different Mercedes dealerships, is that a software update is needed. A know of no situation where the machine crashes first then you're told to update its software. I am concerned that this will unexpectedly happen again and possibly on a road where pulling over to a shoulder may not be possible in the little time given before power failure.

An underbody splash shield (one of three, I believe), covering the transmission (the middle of the three) detached at highway speed and fell off the vehicle. This caused the leading edge of another shield to detach, which then, due to air flow, began dragging the highway. It was quite a noise; initially I thought it was a tire blow out. I quickly decelerated to try to move to an exit (it was urban highway with no shoulders), at lower speeds, the panel stopped dragging. There was no road debris involved in the event. The first panel simply detached (and was not recovered / recoverable due to the location) leading to the second. The initial mechanic replaced two bolts to secure the second panel. He said this is not uncommon on Mercedes Benz vehicles and seemingly knew exactly what was needed (I was expecting duct tape on a weekend morning). Later, after some discussion, the dealer (the car was under warranty; only 13,000 miles) replaced the missing panel as a "courtesy" but not under warranty (because they said I did not have the missing part).

On June 16, 2024, while driving my 2022 Mercedes E 350 with my two young children in the car, my sunroof suddenly and literally exploded. Fortunately, the sunroof screen was closed, which prevented us from sustaining any direct injuries. However, the entire sunroof shattered and is now gone. The explosion sounded like a gunshot, causing immediate and extreme distress. My body began shaking uncontrollably from the shock and fear of the incident. This unexpected event posed a severe safety hazard, and I am deeply concerned about the potential risks to other drivers with similar vehicles. **Vehicle Information:** - Make: Mercedes-Benz - Model: E 350 - Year: 2022 - Mileage: 87,000 miles **Incident Information:** - Date of Incident: June 16, 2024 - Description of Incident: Sunroof explosion while driving with children in the car. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter as it is a critical safety issue that could have resulted in serious injuries or worse.

My vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of road. It showed gas tank empty though tank had half tank gas. i would have been hit by a vehicle behind me. Fortunately, there were no vehicles behind me. i filled the remaining half tank , then car started again. I believe that gas sensor was not working. I dropped the vehicle for service to the mercedes benz dealerwith full tank of gas. It was showing empty gas tank and i can drive zero miles. Dealer told me after 3 days that gas tank needs to be replaced. My concern is that , manufacturer might have made a defective gas sensor or gas tank. This may lead for deaths. It may need a recall , if you have received similar complaints. I contacted the dealer who sold the vehicle by email. I didn't get any response. I am unable to upload that file here. upload file in this link is not working.

there is a recall on my vehicle for over 4 months now. i keep going/contacting the local dealers about the issue and they keep telling me to come back in a month and every time they tell me there is no remedy yet and they dont know when exactly they will be able to fix it. and according to NHTSA this could increase the risk of crash or injury. please help me either get this fixed or make sure its safe for me to drive. thank you

The panoramic sunroof exploded while inside the car without warning. Contacted the dealership/service center on Friday 9/15/2023, was told they have not received a memo regarding the panoramic sunroofs in the 2022 E350, however; this is a know problem. I was told that this is not covered of my warranty because they assume something had to hit the glass, provided evidence via my security camera that not fell and hit the glass. Even after this happened the warning system did not even go off to indicate there was a problem.

It would seem to be the steering and related component’s including the computer. I have heard a low-pitched oscillating sound coming from the passenger front wheel well. well occasionally it would pull the car to the right, not all the time just randomly whenever traveling in the 40-70 mph range. The 2 dealerships I have taken the car to they say it’s my aftermarket exhaust, so they blow me off. the sound can be heard without accelerating and is not consistent as the droning of exhaust would be with consistent gas. This defect slammed me and my e53 into the side of a semi-truck about 4 days ago. I called the dealership I purchased it from and they told me to take the car elsewhere. so, it has not been inspected or looked at but it is available to be inspected upon request. the symptom would be the oscillating sound coming from from right wheel well.

It started with a humming sound in the front right wheel well and then I was driving on the freeway and my steering wheeled jerk to the right and slammed me into the side of a semi truck vehicle is available to be looked at it almost killed me. And I contacted the dealer where I bought the car from and another dealership and they both refuse to look at my car. I believe the effective component could be either the assisted steering or lane keeping and or a bad wheel bearing at manufactured

I was driving the car on a road I drive daily with my son in a child seat in the back row. The car inexplicably slammed on the brakes at full force, stopping in time to avoid driving over the shadow of a tree. Approximately thirty minutes later, there was a loud popping / explosion sound from inside the engine compartment, the car lost all power, coasted along for approximately 100 feet, and then restarted while coasting. This is the second time in under a year that the car has experienced a major electrical system malfunction.

Backup Camera doesn't engage when putting the car in reverse. It's a completely blank screen.

Auto break suddenly activated during traffic with no obstruction ahead. Also Automatic Headlamp Mode Inoperative comes on and off

I was driving last week on a Dallas street. The public works people had place a 1 inch this rectangular steel cover over, presumably, a hole. The car slammed on the brakes, with a red light appearing on the instrument panel. Had a car been behind me, it would have read ended me. I spoke with Mercedes. They tell me that Mercedes has no ability to turn off the automatic breaking feature, and I should go [XXX] myself.

Two rectangular blocks descend from the plastic shield under the front bumper. These blocks have a squared-off back. These blocks descend for about an inch, and are located a few inches in front of the front edge of the tires. In normal use, when the car is parked in a parking space the front tires roll forward to rest against the parking stop block, those descending vents hook onto parking stop blocks or curbing. When the vehicle is backed away from the parking space, the front shield can be torn away from its mounting points. The damaged, loose shield could strike and damage the front tires, or it could impact and damage the front brake lines, or it could obstruct the suspension, or the steering components.
