Mercedes-Benz E-Class Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| May | 2012 | 21000 | 495 | I felt alignment out of spec and had the system checked. They replaced 3 bolts and said it's done but I still got the same problem. Figured out that E-Class "drifts" more than normal becuase of light steering. Common occurrence. |

Said AC system doesn't shutdown properly and needed a software update. Did the software update, kept the car to verify it overnight. Took car back from previous trip. Noticed Nav/Sat Radio didn't work and no audio from speakers. Took the car back to dealer for another software update. Everything checked at dealer. (4 hrs). Took car back and noticed mbrace won't work! |

| Dec | 2011 | 22000 | First odometer entry | |
| Apr | 2012 | 27700 | 0 | Transmission was very slow to shift from D to R (more than 7 seconds) Dealer found no trouble codes at this time, therefore could not diagnose or find a problem Brought in due to a slight knock or rattle for approximately 3-4 sec at start up. Dealer said it was a fuel knock. Installed a fuel injector cleaner, advised me to run 91 octane fuel (I always do) and to run it hard to clean out carbon. |
| Jul | 2012 | 29300 | 0 | Transmission still had major delay going into Reverse, up to 8 seconds, This time tech confirmed, and found update to software, updated and now shifts with no delay. Engine still has slight knock or rattle upon cold startup. 2 days and 2 cold starts and tech could not duplicate. I will record noise since it is still making noise at this time. Not repaired. Windshield reservoir appears to be leaking. Had to fill 3 times in less than 6000 miles. Dealer pressure tested tank and found no leaks at this time. I will keep better records to see if this is truly an issue |
