Why you should NEVER buy a Mercedes "Luxury" SUV or Car

The engine just died on my 2019 gle400. They tell me it’s rare.. they haven’t seen this before..

I am my seventh Mercedes-Benz all were leased and we decided to keep two of them a 2013 E350 and a 2020 GLE450. Aside from the yearly maintenance my ten year old E350 I have only replaced the tires twice, and the brakes no more no less. I guess I have gotten lucky seven times and I plan getting lucky as long as I live. Viva Mercedes-Benz, the best or nothing.

You’re an idiot

Wrong review. Even in vw or any other brand cars.. You will have some beeps from sensors during heavy snow getting stuck to your car. You don't know the real quality of a company if you just look for economics. Seems you have something against the MB..

Had a 2023 GLE 350 for 11 months and couldn't wait to get rid of this POS. Only had 6000 miles on it and the 4cyl turbo couldn't get out of its own way. Lost 20% resale value but was worth it and went back to a Porsche Cayenne, the best car I ever owned. A lesson learned. Never again,

i bought mine 1 year old, i since replaced all front speakers with actual good ones, silenced all front doors myself, clicked at the back window trims in and now i have a car that i can drive without noice

Most issues you experienced were simply user errors.
I had no trouble at all getting my kids in the back. Maybe if the kids are obese, then I understand the struggle/issues, but you can't blame the car for that.
Also, the sensors act like they when they are dirty/obstructed... clean your car. It can't clean and maintain itself.
Same for the squeaking...
If those lights bother you while driving, then either dim them or turn them off completely.

About the wheel...
So you prefer that it would be a regular tool to take off the wheel?
Do you have any idea how often wheels get stolen from vehicles?
Mercedes saves countless customers from potentially losing tires with that.
Be grateful...

Oh, and car value...
Every brand-new car losing half it's value when it is used.
I see that with every brand, no matter if you had it for years or just a few months.

Parts are expensive, but the car is too. If you can afford the car, then you shouldn't be complaining about the spare parts.
People should not buy luxury cars if they have to save up to buy one.
It means that you have no money for maintenance.
Plus, you don't change rain wipers as told on the package.
You change them when they stop doing their job.
It really feels as if you try to think so many things to create content when there is absolutely no issues with these cars.
After 6 years I had to repair stuff and it was only 2000 euro's.
I rather prefer a good car that doesn't break often with expensive parts than a car that often breaks with cheap parts.
In the end, the price for maintaining will be the same.

I stopped watching after the spare parts, since everything mention is just user error.

Man these cars sound almost as bad as American cars....

All cars these days have annoying driver aids. I got into engineering menu of the car and permanently disabled all those lane change assist for retards options. Squeaks are unacceptable but reminding us of 60K MSRP sounds like a bad joke in 2023.

Now why did I get this video recommended now after my parents just bought themselves a 2024 Mercedes gle350 ;-;

After six years we got 6k back on a shopper
25k miles one owner piece of junj

Last one was new ML 270 DIESEL
FELL TO BITS WITH RUST😊

It seems to me that is why MB are largely leased, which is even more outrageous.

I love my AMG 43 Coupe

Actually, $60000 is pretty midsized. The average new car price is $49000

Mercedes expenses make you more tolerant about bigger expenses. A 500 dollar expense is small for me now.

I’ve owned a 99 clk 320, a 2002 clk430, a 2007 CLS550 and now a classic 2009 CL550 coupe. They’ve all treated me very well. I love the brand and also know how to work on them myself for a lot of things. My CL is a head turner till this day and I rarely pass one on the road. It was my daily driver for 2 years straight and never gives me any problems. I have a second vehicle now to keep my miles down on my CL. Currently at 112k miles and still in immaculate condition and drivers like the year it came out. I always tell people if you can’t afford to maintain a high end luxury vehicle then don’t buy one. But if you can then they’re a pleasure to drive

Severe Money Pit !! Mercedes Benz corporation keep screwing the consumer.

Ive owned quite a few Mercedes and so far ive not had much problems with it, pretty reliable. ive been owning mercs for about 15 yrs now, have quite a few in my fleet and i prefer driving them over my bmws or range rovers

What the hell...you buy this vehicles knowing thats what one should expect in maintenance costs and everything else...makes no sense comparing to toyotas ..if you are a brokie leave them alone buy a reliable car

We dont care...Mercedes all the way

LMFAO. This must be made by some idiot who never had one. I've owned 5 Benz cars, including one right now. Not one issue, ever. People just need to know which models to buy. S class is 1,000% more reliable than a 4 cylinder C class. THis video is a joke. LOL

Luxury, style, noble aura and innovation of the NEW Mercedes Benz is undeniable...only poor and envy peasants can spit on the iconic Silver Star.

wanted to buy a gla but now that watched this video it feels like a rip off !

I love this new beige color interior! It looks more like a tan brown now

Got a c class and it’s been 10 years. Only issue with it is the ac need a top up.

Everyone tells me oh Mercedes is not reliable. But I still wanna try.

Never regret even a little bit.
Amazing car, yea it’s not as economic as Toyota. But the feeling of driving a Benz is really something. I am looking for a gle now since the family is expanding. amazing car. 🎉

Great job!!!

Haj ba ne seri

My 2019 C class made in Germany has after 30k miles, had the Nox sensors replaced, and this is the 2nd time. Nox sensors being very expensive at £1300 a pop.
So many sensors are breaking Mercedes are reconditioning them and charging new prices?
My theory is Mercedes are making their customers pay for all the money they’ve had to pay out recently…. And still gotta pay out a lot more. I’ve had lots of Mercedes’ cars but this is the last one.

I had a Mercedes S550 and a GLE450.. beautiful cars. The GLE450 is amazing on gas and passengers always say how smooth the ride is. I also have no issues with glare from the ambient lighting... it can be dimmed or turned off. I have no rear rattle noises either. Service is expensive? LOL Try owning a Jaguar XJ and having to pay like $800 Canadian on a oil change on their weak 3.0 V6 engine. At least the Mercedes (and BMW's) oil changes are covered under warranty, unlike the Jags.

Lo funny video and deserve a thumbs down!!

I can down talk any vehicle. I use common sense however and know what will work and won't work. The last 25 years I was working all I drove were MB. Mostly E class and they always served me very well. I took them to the dealer once a year and got all the recommended maintenance and never had any worries. I retired and bought a GLE 63S with some miles on it and loved it. However wanted to move to a Tesla. After two years of ownership I sold it to Vroom for $2000 less than I paid for it. The stuff this guy picked apart is the same thing you'll find on all cars with these options and tech. They all do the same things!

I love my MB GLB2504MATIC. Fuel savings lol…lol…..all the people that own truck’s including me that got 15mpgs. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo VERY SAD People's EGO get in the way.....They Preceive these DOG's as being Gucci...these and beeeemers all are EURO Trash..."Check Your Engine Light" NIGHTMARES I know as I have exercised my EGO and HAD (2) two of these DOG's....YOU LOOSE YOUR "A" in RESALE like 40K in three years because only dumb bought it orig. & dummer people buy these USED.....
Sooooooooooooooooo Get a brain and Get a " Lexus " if you want dependability and Incredible Re-Sale (as everyone wants a USED Lexus because they Do-Not break down) GET the LEXUS for piece of mind and LOW maintenance or to get that Important meeting or hospital ......Get a Ferrari for the weekends for our EGO's!

We had 23 of them, only two of them gave trouble, and then well over 150k miles. Very cheap to maintain, and almost boringly reliable. My Nissan was expensive to maintain and the Toyota longevity just a fairy tale. Gimme a Benz any day, especially a Diesel. One of mine was at half its expected life at 768,000 on the odo, no mechanical work done.

no one is buying mercedes wipers lmao and i had a S-500 and the dash burned out on the way home.. complete garbage. just like BMW- Volvo on the other hand makes a great car

I have nothing but good things to say about a mb ,love my mb .

Very good discussion

I am a very proud owner of an ML 350 4matic. Great car. 👍🏿 I never bought for resale but for my own use and when I am thru with it, I get rid of it and get another car just like my old ones. You should be ready to get another vehicle and not rely on proceeds from your last one, I believe. Service is just like other good cars.
Buy a Merc when you can actually afford it.

I bought my friends old company car a 2007 e220cdi estate in 2019 for 1300 gbp about 1700 USD it had 162,000 on the clock , I used it every day for work for three years and sold it with 197,000 miles on the clock for 1500 gbp .
It needed 3 oil changes , a set of brake pads two new rear tyres . I found it very cheap to maintain.

Hey buy a Toyota or Nissan! Mercedes or bmw is premium, I just bought a GLE mercedes best car ever

Bruh you just dont like mercedes or cant afford the upkeep plans that they have. All cars have problems. And aint nothing matching with mercedes tech for the price.

My ml500 had 250,000 miles except for a conductor plate at 200 k it ran like new until it was totalled saw one with over 600,000 miles. Take care of them they wil last a long time.

The auto emergency braking on new cars has caught me out a few times.

I’d be reversing say out of the garage and all of a sudden the car slams on the brakes when there’s no obstacles around, makes you think you’ve hit something

The electric powered rear seats is so stupid 😆 the fact there’s no quick release lever to just fold them quickly.

Proud of MERCEDES :) my experience so far. buy a new car or certified used. not the crap one that is in the video.

Luxury cars are not for everybody. I purchased a used Mercedes knowing I had to get many parts replaced. Tires, battery, thermostat,air intake hose, all filters, transmission oil and engine oil, serpentine belt, axle oil, brake pads and rotors, coolant and filter,sparkplugs. And my sunroof just broke.😢. The older the car gets the more parts you have to replace and keep up with maintenance. Young kids with no money stay away from luxury cars..expensive to maintain.

Oh and we got a resale value of my c300 5k over what I paid a year later soooo
