Common Mercedes-benz Gle350d problems

Mercedes-Benz GLE350d owners have reported several common problems, primarily related to the vehicle's in-car electronics and engine components.

In-car Electronics: The central command unit, which affects the infotainment system, GPS, phone, rear entertainment system, backup or other camera/sensors, and head-up display, has been a significant issue for many owners. One owner reported that the central command unit went out at around 46,000 miles, affecting all of the electronic dashboard features. The part was $6,000, but it was partially covered by the extended warranty. Another owner reported that the screen went blank and remained so.

Engine: Engine rebuild or replacement, cylinder head, head gasket, turbocharger or supercharger, and timing chain or belt are common engine problems reported by Mercedes-Benz GLE350d owners. The engine rebuild or replacement is a significant issue, and it is expected that the 2024 GLE will be less reliable than the average new car. This prediction is based on data from 2021 and 2022 models, plus the Mercedes brand scores. The Reliability score is based on the latest subscriber survey of 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE owners. The owner comments describe problems respondents experienced with this vehicle.

Another common engine problem is the loss of A/C cooling due to refrigerant leak. This issue was reported by a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo owner in Missouri.
