2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reliability Score & Common Problems

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.

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).

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 contact owns a 2020 Mercedes-Benz E450. The contact stated that on three occasions the driver's side front seat independently adjusted when the vehicle was started. On another occasion, the vehicle started by independently. Additionally, the head-up projected display moved up the windshield instead of remaining in place. The contact stated that the battery warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that on several occasions the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and there was unknown software that needed to be updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 400.

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.
