2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 580
Filed May 20, 2026
My Mercedes GLE 580 experienced a complete failure of the 48V battery system due to the exact defect outlined in NHTSA Recall Campaign 24V207 (defective 48V ground connection causing high resistance and fire risk). The official status for my VIN shows 'Recall Incomplete.' The vehicle is currently at Mercedes-Benz of Barrington. The dealership is actively refusing to remedy this safety recall under warranty and is attempting to charge me $5,313 out of pocket for the battery replacement.…

Radiator started leaking in <3000 miles of driving the brand new GLE 580 Mercedes Benz. Twice I got errors in the car that stated check coolant level I could hear liquid moving in the front of the car when I parked it. Once while driving, the AC totally stopped working and on the entire drive, I couldn't feel the cool air. I also got 48V battery issue during this drive. I called the dealer and they said not to worry and that they will top off coolant. A few weeks later, I got another error…

The adaptive cruise on the Mercedes has a habit of harsh braking during stop and go traffic. It's not a natural braking manev8, instead it's jarring and I feel like it could cause a rear end with how jarring it is. Many other users are experiencing the same.

The transmission with the Auto Start/Stop 48v system is very clunky and not smooth at low speeds. I'm unable to park in my garage or parallel park with the Auto Start/Stop feature enabled which is by default for reduced emissions. I fear hitting pedestrians/people at crosswalks, causing damage to my house inside my garage when parking, and/or other vehicles when parallel parking because the transmission is so clunky, it causes the vehicle to surge or lurch forward very harshly in such a way…

Many times while driving a warning pops up in the driver interface that the camera view is restricted, including an icon implying that the AEB system is unavailable. Funny thing is there is never any obstruction of the camera that I can tell. So I told the service rep at the dealer, including showing him a pic of the error message and the repair order just said, unable to replicate with nothing done. So unusual that mine is the only Mercedes vehicle that does this! Also emailed corporate…

THE VEHICLE IS A 2020 MERCEDES BENZ GLE 580, WHICH HAS ALL-WHEEL DRIVE. IT HAS STANDARD WHEELS AND TIRES. THE OE TIRES ARE COOPER DISCOVERER SRX LE, SIZE 275/50R20.

THE VEHICLE HAS E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL (E-ABC), WHICH HAS DIFFERENT DRIVE MODES THAT AFFECT TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS, STEERING INPUT AND SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE HAS THE OE WHEELS AND TIRES (COOPER ALL-SEASON TIRES). ONE DRIVE MODE IS DESIGNATED 'CURVE,' WHICH CONTROLS BODY LEAN IN CURVES. DEPENDING ON THE SETTING, CURVE HOLDS THE BODY UPRIGHT OR SLIGHTLY LEANS IT INTO CURVES, LIKE A MOTORCYCLE LEANING INTO A CURVE. WHEN IN CURVE MODE AND DRIVING IN A CURVE, THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY OR ACCIDENT…

THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ON A BUSINESS TRIP TO AND FROM KANSAS CITY MO. AND MINNEAPOLIS MN. THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS A FEATURE THAT CAN READ ROAD SPEED LIMIT SIGNS AND CHANGE THE SET SPEED TO MATCH THE INDICATED SPEED. THIS FEATURE CAN BE TURNED ON OR OFF BY USING THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. ON THIS TRIP TO KANSAS I HAD THIS SIGN RECOGNITION FEATURE TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM IS THAT ON AT LEAST 12 OCCASIONS DURING THIS 900 MILE TRIP THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD ARBITRARILY CHANGE THE SET SPEED FROM 70 MPH TO…
