27 safety recall campaigns, 129 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Water intrusion into the foot wells may cause corrosion and/or short circuits to electrical components, increasing the risk of fire. In addition, the emergency call (eCall) feature may be disabled and the doors may not unlock, increasing the risk of injury. Also, the engine may not start or may enter a limp-home mode, increasing the risk of a crash.
Detached trim bars may cause a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash or injury.
A disabled eCall system would prevent a vehicle occupant from contacting the emergency services call center in an emergency, potentially delaying emergency responders and increasing the risk of injury.
An inoperable rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Driving with inoperable power steering assist, headlights, or wipers can increase the risk of a crash.
Incorrectly assembled seats may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Two 2020 MERCEDES BENZ GLE 350s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
