2023 GLE - vibration in the seat
Hello,
I've had the car for about 2 month and I like most of it. One thing I don't like is the constant vibration that I feel in my seat (it's been there from the beginning). As soon as I pass 50km/h it gets my attention but it is there even before. It get's a little worse around 100km/h and really bad on concrete pavements (that are on some highways). It is really annoying on long trips.
It is my first GLE but I dont think this is normal. I've had several new cars (all suvs) in the past but I never experienced something like this. Any thoughts?

In My experience, Vibration in the seat is a rear tire/ wheel issue and in the steering wheel it is the front tire/wheel. 1st solution is the easiest so rebalance the rear tires and see if that works.

Diagnostics cost time, and money if there's no warranty claim.
I'd be concerned if you took it to the dealer, they balance the tires, and say "Here we've balanced the tires. Let us know if it doesn't fix the problem" and you have to go back.
Just a thought.
Edit: Mercedes shops are required to have Hunter 9,000 Road Force balancers, so they are reliable in that regard.
If you get a balance elsewhere, make sure they do a Road Force balance.
