This has happened twice.  They âfixedâ 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 highwayâ¦ right as I hit the gas to pull out the car lurches forward and dies. Comes to a complete stop. It wonât crank back up, it wonât 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.  Iâm waiting on a police report but this was so scary Iâm terrified to drive my car.   The first time 4 weeks ago they said total electrical failure and fixed it.  I drove it another few weeks and it did it again.  The cop told me that I could have killed aomeone because when it stopped it didnât even roll. The break was locked.  We couldnât push it out of traffic. We had to call a wrecker.

When operating at 65-70 MPH on a limited access highway and encountering a rough road surface, the vehicle seemed to rather dramatically "skip" to the side.  The GLE450e moved laterally while maintaining the intended forward direction.  During two of these events the vehicle departed the marked lane and in one of I had to immediately seize full manual control to avoid striking a vehicle in the adjacent lane.  (In all events I was driving in the right lane.)  This has occurred four times; three of the times adaptive cruise was set; one time not.    In at least three of the cases the road appeared to have ripples in the asphalt.  I am not sure of the road surface in the 4th case.  Regardless, no "holes" were encountered.  Notes:  The date listed was the approximate first date of the described occurrence.  This occurred in two states, OH and FL.  There was less than 10,000 miles on the vehicle when the events occurred.  A question:  I wonder if the relatively great weight of the rear of the vehicle was a factor in these incidents.  The battery is located rearward and the rear tires require unusually greater pressure -- much more than the front tires.

Shortly after we took possession of the car, I noticed that the warning that I was not holding the steering wheel would light up when I was holding the wheel with both hands in the 10-2 position. Flipping my fingers while continuing to hold the steering wheel was sufficient to switch the warning off. Also I was frequently being advised that the steering assist was inoperative and that the stop and go assist was inoperative. On August 21, 2025 when I was driving in I95, the various warnings described above appeared on the screen. The hands warning sign would not go off although I was holding the wheel correctly. A warning chime began and then a message that the system was initiating an emergency stop. I accelerated briefly and the warning disappeared. On August 28, 2025 I took the car to the dealer for assessment. I was advised that the car required a software update (Invoice no. 118573). I picked the car up on September 2, 2025. The following morning I received a telephone call from Mercedes Benz advising me that âGermanyâ had indicated overnight that the steering wheel needed to be replaced and I would be advised when that was available. I took the car back on September 11 for the steering wheel to be replaced. The previously described problems recurred other than the warning that an emergency stop was being initiated and I took the car back on December 12, 2025. Another new steering wheel was fitted. The problems persisted and the car was taken back. On this occasion a software update was performed.  In late March 2026 when I was driving an a busy two lane road, the typical problems recurred but flipping my fingers did not work and the initiating an emergency stop warning appeared. Acceleration was not an option and there was no immediate place for me to pull off. I removed both hands from the steering wheel and the warnings disappeared. I regard these two emergency stop warnings as representing a significant safety issue.
