    Anonymous, CA (2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Unsure)

    ""I could never get the instrument display to be anything less than fully bright at night, and this was distracting. I took it in for service, and was told it was fixed, but there was no change. Another reason I traded it in for the Porsche. I didn't want to keep having to go to the dealer if they were unable to fix the vehicle's problems.""

    Anonymous, TX (2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 3.0-L 6 Cyl turbo)
    Squeaks or rattles

    ""There is a sound in the back that sounds like something rolling back and forth. I confirmed with the dealer that this is the rear camera opening and closing.

    Anonymous A., SC (2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)
    Refrigerant leaks

    ""The vehicle seemed to cool well, and on a highway trip, air stopped blowing from the vents. I thought that perhaps ice had formed and was blocking the air. I took it in for service, and the technicians said it was low on refrigerant. After recharging it was fine for a while, and then it happened again on a highway trip. I decided I didn't want to live with this and traded this vehicle in for the Porsche.""
