Tapping noise on the steering wheel
Hello All, I need your help;
I drive a GLE450/ 2019 and when I press the brakes fully i feel a tapping sound on the steering wheel and the same tapping when I release the brakes
This happens when Im slowing down to park, or a full brake while driving, or while going over a road bump

Not only I would check the brake pads also check the calipers. I would also see if any object stuck in the tire tread

Sounds more like a loose steering column or something unrelated to brakes. Or perhaps a pedal bushing?
Can you find a stretch of road near the dealership, where you can 100% duplicate the sound/feel, so you can show the tech?

Then have them check suspension, ball joints, upper/lower control arm, CV Joint's, Axles, Bushing's trailing arms, Strut's, track rod ends, steering joints, etc. maybe wheel bearing Also have them check your mounts esp the transmission mount.

GLE 350
Interesting. I have a similar issue with my 2017 GLE 350. The noise happened only when turning a sharp left. The noise started sometime in 2020, but it would come and go randomly. The dealer spent weeks checking everything and couldn't find a thing. Even replaced several parts. After the 4th dealer visit I called MBUSA and they were zero help. I wasted too much time on this just learned to live with it. To my surprise the noise hasn't been back in 6 months. I am convinced the front end will fall off one of these days (insert front fell off joke here).
