GLE53 2021 Turning off noise and leather seats cracking???
I have a 2021 gle53 with the hybrid battery, when i shut off the vehicule i heard a pretty loud electric sound like a spaceship. is that normal? also, i see that my seats are starting to wear off pretty quick... the fake leather is cracking. you think MB warranty would cover that?

Seats cracking
Had a 450 and the MB Tex cracked on the driver seat. Dealer replaced the seat cover under warranty. Traded to a 63 and the diamond stitching on the Nappa leather seats has come out of three of the four seats. Dealer has replaced the three that the stitching failed on. The dealer did state that the seats will not be covered under the CPO warranty after the vehicle exceeds 50k miles as they will then be considered "normal" wear and tear though. Weird thing is that on the Nappa seats the stitching failed on all the seats other than the driver seat and the other seats very rarely have an occupant.
