This has happened twice. They âfixedâ it and returned it to me and it did it again. I was about to pull out into traffic, once on the interstate and another time on a 2 lane highway⦠right as I hit the gas to pull out the car lurches forward and dies. Comes to a complete stop. It wonât crank back up, it wonât go into neutral or drive or reverse. The electoral system goes crazy and all lights start going off. One car had to go in the median to avoid colliding with me. Iâm waitin

The contact owned a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450E 4Matic. The contact stated that while driving on the right shoulder of a two-lane road at 30 MPH, the vehicle's front passenger-side wheel went off the road into a drop-off by a few inches. The contact attempted to overcorrect, and in the process, the vehicle flipped and rolled over five times before coming to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to a local junkyard. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was file

While using adaptive cruise control, the car automatically applies brake in full force eventhough there is no object in front of the car. Almost cause couple accidents where there are cars behind me. This happened multiple times in one trip (500 miles trip)
When accelerating in hybrid mode, the vehicle loses power and forcefully reduces speed. A "Performance extremely limited" message appears on the driver console. Sometimes it goes into "turtle" mode, limiting performance until the car it is turned off. Sometimes the "check engine" light comes on, with or without the "turtle" light. This is a safety issue when you are trying to accelerate onto a highway and the car reduces speed, thus increasing the risk of being rear-ended in heavy traffic.

The vehicle loses power while driving and flashes "Performance Extremely Limited." We have had this happen in intersections and while getting on the highway almost causing an accident on more than one occasion. When this occurs the vehicle decelerates quickly, will not use the batter and basic functions like the air conditioning stop working.

Coolant hose was rubbing on the drive shaft and at 4,931 miles the coolant hose failed and the vehicle lost all coolant from the system. Fortunately the hose failed after the car was driven into our garage and not on the open highway. We had just returned from a 1,000 mile trip to Nashville, TN from Winston-Salem, NC. This is a PHEV and the coolant also effects the temperature of the EV batteries. This was a improper installation of the coolant hose. I have attached a picture that I too
GLE 450e Plug In-Hybrid. Car went into âTurtle Modeâ on Saturday March 8th for no known reason. Turtle Light and Check Engine warning lights came on and there was a warning message âSignificant Reduction in Powerâ. My understanding this is a vehicle initiated precaution when something triggers the vehicle to go into reduced power mode. This all happened after the car had been driven on the highway for about 2.5 hours. It was running in gas engine mode since the battery power had been off

EZS module and PTCU module failed and caused check engine light. Dealer was unable to read trouble codes and could only reset it. They replaced the modules. This is a safety issue for me and the dealer said I could only sell the car back, they refused to refund my full purchase of the vehicle. I lost about $14k just for owning this vehicle for 2 weeks.

Vehicle goes into Turtle mode with the error that says Performance Extremely Limited. It happens without any warning and has already happened 3 times right now. Last night (December 8th, 2024) it happened as my wife was merging into the freeway. All of a sudden, the power got cut out almost completely. The Check engine light turned on, the Turtle symbol came ON and the message Performance Extremely Limited came on. She was lucky there was no traffic, but this could happen where there is traffic
