For those who expect MB workmanship and have a vehicle to drive (even an Escalade), I do not believe the OP was unreasonable. And it was perfectly reasonable to share her experience.
..."the Escalade"
Thank you❣️🙂

lol, that's how I spec'd my 2024 GLE 53, just black metallic. Very NICCCCE.

And I don't blame you one bit sending it back to MB. I saw that pic and my jaw hit the floor. There was no other acceptable answer IMO. Never should have made it out the door...

Exactly, should not have left the factory. Great minds think alike! Maybe I can borrow your GLE 53 when I feel the need for speed. 😊

I don't remember you being this nice to other complainers. You always responded in a way to stand with MB.

I don't. Some complaints have no merit - this one does.

You just got here when that ugly round of attacks was launched. All the MB haters attacked me because I don't think Consumer reports is a viable source for car ratings. Knickers>>>twist.😩

Then there's my friend mr. f who thinks troubleshooting is a personal attack. Followed me around on other forums, attacked there, too. The guy was daunted by MBUX and after several posters gave solutions, f launched a vicious lying and misquoting attack, which I regret responding to.

I like my car. I don't defend it.

On September 5th my husband asked for a complete refund as we paid cash for the GLE 450. After a little back and forth and opening a case with MBUSA, the dealership agreed to give a full refund. we completed the paperwork and about 2 weeks later I picked up the check. My husband ordered another GLE 450 for me. Production date is November 13, 2024. I'm stuck again driving our extra car which is a 2023 Escalade with third row seat. Its a land yacht...for real.
