Bought a dealer owned mercedes gle 350 with 8500 miles on it in november 2020. In few days we took back the car to get things fixed, which we noticed. We were told, as did not buy a new car we have to bear with few issues. We leased the car and wanted to be sure that we do not get into a problem because of the issues which we inherited, we put the problems on record. Upon completion of 10,000 miles, car was dropped for service and attending recalls on february 10th. 2021. It took more than 20 days for completing the update of software, for which whole dashboard display was replaced and had to be imported from germany, finally I got the car back on march 2nd, 2021. April 23rd, 2021, while going out for dinner, felt some vibration as if car is running at the edge of the road. I thought I hit a nail or something and got a flat tire, I suddenly applied break, luckily car behind me did not hit me form the back, I also heard some rubbing noise from the back of the car. Next day early morning I took the car to the service, I did feel the intermittent vibration and rubbing noise when I drove to the service. Today on april 28th. 2021, I am informed that drive shaft needs replacement, and it has to come from germany and will take 10 -12 days. I am advised to take my car back and bring back once the part arrives. I do not feel safe in doing so and want to seek your opinion. Is it safe , did I land up getting a lemon car?
