Recent 2024 Mercedes-Benz E 350 complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Unknown or Other · reported Oct 23, 2025
The car would not start, and displaying multiple rotating warnings. The car could not be shifted to neutral. The problem is going away after several hours by itself. Only check engine light remaining after car is able to start. The problem happened three times, most recent on October 20th. The last two problems were potentially addressed by updating software. Obviously the problem is still not fixed.
Electrical System · at 9,600 miles · reported Feb 12, 2025
The contact owns a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E350. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the infotainment center and instrument panel were no longer illuminated. The contact stated that the driver’s side door latch failed to securely close the door. The door latch had failed three times within a month. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the door latch failure. The dealer performed a software update for the door latch failure. The instrument panel and infotainment center failure were not addressed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The…
Exterior Lighting · reported Sep 12, 2024
Main instrument cluster and infotainment system locked up during driving after dark, the screens froze and then went black. All exterior lights went out during driving. No speedometer or other warning lights are working. It is a serious safety issue! Turning the car off, waiting 10 minutes, and starting it again did not fix the issue no matter what i did trying to recover the system. The screens either turn on and stay frozen or they stay dark. The engine starts but all instruments are not working, and all UI controls are unresponsive. It appears that very many other drivers reporting similar…
Suspension · reported Aug 22, 2024
I’ve been hearing a creaking noise in the rear when coming to a stop. Independent mechanic inspected it and said the subframe was severely rusted and that I probably should not drive long distances until it is fixed. They researched and said others have had similar issue. Mercedes apparently is aware and offers an “extended warranty.” I have an appointment in two weeks (!) to have it looked at by a Mercedes mechanic. They will pay for the repair/replacement IF warranted. Should be a recall, IMO. Can’t imagine that the part in question, which according to my mechanic, “essentially…
