2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350: check engine light

Filed Dec 29, 2025 · Engine · AL

Check engine light came on. Called dealership on a Thursday and again on Monday after it stayed on all weekend. Was told to bring in vehicle for diagnostics and to have a ride home. Half way to the dealership the car spuddered and I had to coast to the shoulder of the road. After a few minutes, I restarted the vehicle and drive slowly to the dealership, barely making it it the shop. The service advisor indicated it could be the cylinder head even before running diagnostics because it had happened to numerous other customers. It was a defective cylinder head. The repair bill was over $10,000 but Mercedes offered a $3,500 assistance credit. After doing some research on the internet, this appears to be a widespread issue.

Check engine warning light came on. Called dealership and they could not do a remote diagnostic so they made plans to pick up the car which was about 2 weeks after the problem was alerted. See attached repair invoice. The problem was a known issue with the cylinder head compression leakage. “Removed cylinder head and disassembled to find excessive play in exhaust valve guides and abnormally worn exhaust value seats. Replaced cylinder head.” This issue impacted engine performance, including vibration and lack of acceleration. See attached letter to Mercedes which we have received no response.

Cylinder head. - the car misfires and while driving the car slows down without notice. The car also shakes while in idol mode. Yes the problem has been confirmed at the dealership. No the vehicle has not been inspected that I am aware of - but it should be becuase I have done research and mercedes has said 2019-2022 mercedes have cylinder head recalls - it just doesn't include the 350gle model which it should becuase the forum I am on shows that it is a known issue and alot of consumers have the same problem as me. Yes the check engine light has come on and that is why I took it to the dealership to see what was wrong. Mercedes should recall all vehicles that have a cyclinder head issue not just the models that have listed now becuase the issue is in more than just those vehicles! The car poses a issue and a safety issue becuase the car can stall in the middle of the freeway causing major saftey issues! I have photo's I tried to upload but it keeps giving me errors and won't let me upload to this case.
