Brand New GLE 53 AMG Engine Light On Second Day
I picked up my brand new 2022 GLE 53 AMG on Thursday April 28,2022 and by the following day I had an Engine light on , happened late Friday , dealership is closed and Saturday the service department was closed , not I’m left wondering what it could be until Monday !! This isn’t a good start at all ! Anyone have an similar experience? Vehicle has less than 180 KM on it !!
Thanks in advance .

Engine light unknown as of now
I don’t have the faintest idea , I was testing the sports + mode just minutes before the engine light came on though , I wasn’t metal to the pedal by any means but I was pushing it for a good 40 seconds .
I will update when i take it back to dealership.

This place is a joke.
Not an uncommon occurrence with the one-sixty-lemon (167) platform since it's disastrous launch in 2019. No worries though, as the dealerships now have plenty of experience with CEL's on these. As long as the car is running and driving fine, no need to panic, they will get it sorted hopefully on the first attempt. The usual suspects will soon chime in and tell you how great this car is- the best Mercedes' has ever built in their history, and how they don't have any problems. This isn't their truth, as a few of those trolls have already sold or traded theirs for other brands, so take their biased opinions very carefully.

Is your gas cap not tight?
You need to provide more information, or the trolls will take over this thread. The usual suspects.
Hope there's not much to it.

You know that you are supposed to take it easy for the first 1000 miles. My manual says take it in as soon as possible.

And the trolls have arrived!
Stop harassing me "bud."
Every thread? Check your facts, I haven't posted in this forum in weeks.
You drive a Range Rover, why are you even here?
You are also posting here with nothing to contribute or help the o.p. That's getting old. Fast.
Again, stop harassing me.

I'm sorry the trolls are here already to harass and not help with your question. At least I warned you.

I'd call the dealership at least to notify them, and also confirm the not-flashing idea.
