Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Oct 10, 2026

2022 Mercedes-Benz E350 with Driver Assistance Package. Two incidents of uncommanded automatic braking with no vehicle ahead and no debris on the road: (1) October 7, 2026, 4:30 AM â Active Brake Assist braked automatically on a clear road in dark conditions; (2) second incident of the same kind, date unknown. No collision resulted, but sudden uncommanded braking in live traffic is a serious rear-end crash risk.

Visibility/Wiper · reported Jul 22, 2026

I own a 2022 Mercedes-Benz E350. The front glass roof panel located directly above the windshield developed a large crack while the vehicle was parked. The crack extends nearly the full length of the panel and includes areas where the glass has separated along the fracture. I am not aware of any collision, road debris, or object striking the vehicle before the damage was discovered. The damaged panel is available for inspection. I am concerned that if this type of failure were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, broken glass could fall into the passenger compartment or be shed onto the…

Vehicle Speed Control · reported Jan 7, 2026

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…

Power Train · reported Oct 23, 2025

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…

Unknown or Other · reported Jun 18, 2024

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.…
