Lightbulb Just bought a 2019 E450 Cab 2 weeks ago

Hi there, I just leased a new 2019 E450 Cab. Polar White with Macchiato/ Yacht Blue, Black Top, Sen Wood, Dual Screens, Sport Package with 19" wheels, Wheel Locks, Ventilated Seats, Premium 1 package, Chrome Strip. MSRP was $75,590. Did a 39 month lease with 7,500 miles/year, 2yrs maintenance of A and B services included, for $1,010/month. I think I got around 6.5% off MSRP. Does this sound like a good deal even with the 2020s coming out any day now? I bought with 20ish miles on it and now I have about 1,000.

I have a few questions I want to see if everyone else is experiencing....

1. When I start the car (not just cold start) I feel a vibration in the car.
2. The shifts are silky smooth on upshifts but I feel the downshifts from like 4th on down very abruptly when I'm slowing down to a stop sign or stop light. It's quite harsh. Any suggestions? Comfort Mode on.
3. Right screen (main command screen) has rebooted once or twice while driving.
4. Side mirrors stopped folding in when I locked the car but I was able to reset it by pressing the button to fold them while I was driving and then having them open back up. Next time I locked the car it got back on track. (saw this on a previous thread).
5. In my 2014 E350 I could watch DVDs while in park. I know this vehicle does not have a disc drive but it does allow video playback while parked. Have any of you had any success with this through the SD card or USB? I haven't. Attaching photos of the screen for this as well.
6. I'm attaching a photo of a little mod I did to the front. I bought chrome pieces with 3M tape that fit over the black pieces in the sport bumper lower 'air intakes'. Let me know what you think.





After adding the chrome on the lower intakes.

Nice car! Wish I could even consider driving 7,500 per year. I'll be lucky to keep it under 15,000 per year.

me too - happens intermittently every 7~10 days - sometimes just the driver side doesn't operate properly other times both -
