Any serious problems with 2025 E450?

I'm looking at buying an E450 Wagon.
Does the 2025 have any significant issues that
might be corrected in the 2026?

Mainly software issues reported, nothing mechanical so far.

Here are links to threads of SW problems reported in this forum (W214) up to Jan2. There are quite a few new comments since then:

SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM

I seem to have a serious transmission problem with my "brand new" w214 e220d 4matic.

Right before the car stops, the whole car shakes. Sometimes very softly, sometimes harder. The strength of the shaking varies. I feel like down hill it is mostly more pronounced.
To observe this behavior the car should come down from 2nd to 1st and then to a whole stop. Slowly..

They have been trying to figure out the problem for 2 weeks. No luck.
This is something you cannot realize if start/stop is activated.

I am thinking that sounds like warped rotors but if they do suspect it being a transmission problem was any codes stored?

Hey w205.., thanks for replying..
What is a warped rotor? Can that be in a brand-new car? What would be the fix if that is the case?
They told me they did some transmission "adaptation". Don't know what that is, but they said they dd it 10 times before taking the car out for a spin. Nothing changed..
