Yeah you're right, my local MB dealer offered me Fidelity, are they any good?

90,000 miles on 2014 E63S, bought new, February 2014:

- Pano Roof Creaking - Bolts tightened
- whistling noise from grill fixed
- Overhead Console Rattle fixed
- transmission software updated
- Rotors and Pads replaced under Warranty at 19K Miles

Daily Driver, has been a lot of fun, and other than the above relatively minor things, has been bullet proof. Will change all rotors, pads next week.

Wow! And i thought 126,000 on my 2010 was a lot. Good to hear. How long do you plan on keeping it?

Abunde

Have 6-year 125K Miles extended warranty. Typically will keep cars for about 4 years, but no more than 150K miles. Will decide in the next one year or so once I hit 125K miles, and depending on whether any major issues crop up before then.

Fidelity gets decent ratings, but the MB warranty is the best. Sounds like you probably don't qualify for it though as it's only from an MB dealer that offers CPO. Also some of the problems mentioned like the pano roof bolts are a common problem in the whole lineup. My E350 has the same problem. Control knob breaking is also common, you can get a $50 DIY part to fix it, pay $200 for the MB part or go to the dealer and pay $500 to get it fixed. Airmatic and brakes are two expensive items, the rotors are much cheaper on the E350/E550.

90K miles!!!...I bet you have spent lots of time on the highway. How have you managed to rack up so much miles? You definitely wouldn't have problem hitting 125K miles way before 6-years period if you keep on driving like this. I thought warranty doesn't cover rotors and pads.

Abunde

Yes, quite a bit of commuting from my home to my office, but enjoy it as I am always going against traffic. I definitely will not have any problem with making 125K miles within the next 12-14 months, and depending on what happens by then will determine if I try to keep it out of warranty to 150K miles. I was surprised on the rotor coverage at the time when I complained about vibrations, etc. They mentioned that Mercedes had a bad batch rotors which was why. I had same vibration happen on my GL550, and was also replaced under warranty.

Wow, your office is like 200 miles away!

Nothing major to report back, although I suspect next year will be the year that I get stung. Probably.

bierdeman

its not a 2012 but i have a 2011 e63 bought it with 60k now has 65k also bought with 5yr 80k warranty so far replaced rear air shocks and fuel sender unit all under warranty. better save for brake job those are very pricey $1000 buck per front rotor...overall love the car even though i've only had it a short while

otakki

Replace them with GiroDisc which are better and you only need to buy the rotors afterward. Plus they are only $1050/pair even if you pay at the listed price.

Would you each mind sharing more detail around this whistling noise from grille? How was it diagnosed and what was done to correct?

I am experiencing something similar at speeds above 50-60mph.

Thanks!

Enjoy reading.

Chappy

^^^ Thanks!

Abunde

Not quite, have a 140-mile roundtrip daily commute.

Abunde

For me, it was easy. Just told my dealership that I was getting the noise and they were the ones that diagnosed where it was coming from. Seemed like it was something that was common knowledge, at least to my dealership.

Chappy

Appreciate the feedback - am planning on a short list of things (this being the primary) I'll have my dealer look at.
