Electrical Issues - Who has them?

With 1,000 mile on my GLE, I have a bunch of recurring alerts and malfunctions.

It happened when I was picking up the vehicle. It happened at 500miles, and then came back at 1000 today while driving on a nice sunny day. Here's every alert that popped up at once. What a disaster.

I received something similar on my 2006 Cadillac. It was a bad alternator which sent "dirty" electrical signals to the computer which gave me very similar multiple error messages like yours.

A bad battery will also throw errors like this but I've only experienced something like this with Land Rovers. I would take the GLE63 in and pressure them to fix this ASAP. I love the brand but this is unacceptable.

yeah, i'm no electrical engineer, but i agree it sounds like a single point of failure. you should insist that the dealer's top tech does the troubleshooting, probably with mb support. could be the whole right lamp module is toast. my philosophy has always been "as long as they own the problem, i'm ok"

My car was spitting out a ton of error messages; after 5 days at the dealer, turns out it was a loose connector under the passenger seat.
