• Rain sensing wiper sometimes goes to full speed for no reason

• Wiper "skip" when is annoying even on a clean windshield (see the same video above, near the end, you can hear the noise).
• Also, this only happen one time, but I was driving, and all a sudden, the car give the 3 beep warning indicating collision warning, and the seat belt pull super tight. The car didn't brake or anything, just the beeps and seat belt tightening (you can hear the seat belt noise at the same time as the beep). After a second or two, it release itself

Most of the item above is minor. It is annoying, but not a major issue. The only thing I have concern is the last item. Not sure why it kicks in in the first place, but the other side is, if it thinks a collision is going to happen, why did the emergency braking not kick in?

Of course it’s absolutely clear in front of me, no vehicle I’ve brought it to the sealer, they looked at it but no resolve. I’ve given up on it when it beeps and flashes, I just keep on driving. Sigh 😔

- List of problems I’ve had/ having-
1. Week 1: noticeable engine vibrations at idle. Engine light. The dealership still has no “fix” for the problem.

2. windshield wiper “tapping” the driver side of the window screen/ windshield wipers skipping/chattering. So annoying. The dealership readjusted the wipers and fixed the tapping. As far as the skipping/chattering. My service manager suggested I stop by periodically and have them clean my windshield. Such an odd suggestion.

3. drivers side headlight holding water. No, not condensation. It was actually holding water. After some back and forth with the service department they finally admitted that wasn’t normal and replaced the headlight.

4. I complained about the wind noise/ whistle coming from the drivers side window. My service department told me they couldn’t recreate the noise. I recorded it for my trip back in this week. As I see on this forum I’m not the only person having this problem.

5. I ordered the automatic window shades and I have noticed a pronounced rattle coming from the passenger rear door when shutting or going over bumps. The service department hasn’t been able to find the problem.
6. One key fob completely stopped working. The dealership originally thought it was the batterie. Ended up having to order a new key fob. Constantly having to shake the key fobs to get them to work because they “supposedly go to “sleep”.
I moved into a Benz after a long stint with Range Rover SC. Needless to say I’m very disappointed with the quality of the Benz and the lack of the dealership not resolving the problems. This weeks conversation is going to consist of my options of getting out the car. I don’t foresee this getting any better.

Does anyone know if the 2020 Gle comes with ashtray and cigarette lighter. My service advisor informed me that they haven’t delivered trucks with them and it might be a European option.
thank you

The cigarette lighter is a separate adapter that you have to plug into the 12v outlet, press it in to "heat" it up.

No wonder you had lots of issues with your Range Rover. I honestly think MB can’t be trusted with quality or reliability. LEXUS would be a much better option.

I’m reading the manual and it does seem like that is the design. On page 223 it says to set it you need to be driving less than 20 mph, go to home>settings>quick access, turn lower when getting in on (which is a misrepresentation of what happens) and it then lowers the car, like right then and there, not when you stop the ca. And THEN the car raises only when you start it again and drive faster than 20 mph. This part is in the table on page 220, it says entry/exit level is deactivated and the vehicle is raised when driving above 20mph. I’m besides myself as I was about to make the point that there is no way this could be the design of the feature. Well there you have it.

Separately, any one else having an issue with voice guidance not working?
