I have a couple of issues wirh my new GLE 350.

-the passenger side door is extremely difficult to shut.
I’m going to call the dealer but wondered if anyone else has experienced this?

-the button to start the car often has to be pressed 3-5 times before it actually starts. Anyone else?

There shouldn’t be any resistance to the door. It should shut smoothly. It sounds like something is out if alignment or the latch is malfunctioning.

Also, it shouldn’t take more than one press of the button. Just out of curiosity, do you have remote start? You may want to try that feature to see if the problem persists.

In any case, I would certainly schedule an appointment and have them fix everything because what you’re describing isn’t normal.

The only remote start we have is through the Mercedes Me App.

How long have you had the car? Meaning, did the push button start work differently and it is now hard to start. I thought mine had a push button problem compared to another car I own, BUT, I figured out you just have to keep your foot on the brake a second or two longer than some other cars. There is a bit of delay from when you press the button to the start up. If you take your foot off the brake too quickly, it will not start. (Atleast, that is what my 350 does)

Also the car may have difficulty detecting the key. Try putting the key inside the center console for it to be read properly and see if it starts right away.
