general problems of the 2016 Mercedes Benz E350

Since may 2024, I had taken my car in for repairs at 3 different shops for same exact issue diagnosed as leak from air intake system. It has been repaired 7 times since it first occurred in may 2024, and unfortunately it is still not resolved. This is a potential danger to the driver because all of a sudden there will be loud noise from the engine, car will start misfiring and slow down the speed. The previous 3 attempts of repair were made at Mercedes Benz of west covina. The car is non drivable at the moment.

Dealership stated on 6/4/24 extensive rust and perforations on rear vehicle sub frame that can cause risk to driver of accident or injury. Mbusa is offering to replace sub frame part # 212 350 38 05. However dealership advised mbusa is not offering to replace corroded brake lines or brake fluid exchange, and would need to come out of pocket. Mbusa failed to notify me of safety defect. Vehicle was purchased from mb of arlington, va in 4/2019 however dealership sold vehicle that is dangerous to drive. The vehicle also has additional safety defects such as a passenger tail light that does not work, and a license plate light not functioning. Dealership wants an additional $1500 to replace these (2) lights. Vehicle has low mileage at 60,000 and was purchased with 35,000 under mb cpo program. I am very disappointed in Mercedes Benz and have never had so many quality and safety issues with any of my prior e-classes before. I contacted mbusa and opened up a executive care escalations case [xxx}. There was no warning lights of the impending safety feature. The level of rust on the sub frame is horrifying, and this vehicle should never have been sold to me under mb cpo. In addition, the vehicle engine is leaking oil in multiple places and could catch fire in any moment. I have never seen so many issues on a vehicle with low mileage, especially with a mercedes. Dealer is refusing to assist with cost, and wants 2k+ to replace engine gaskets. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Re-seal upper timing covers of the cylinder head timing covers are seeping. 2016 E350 has less thank 19k on it. The fluids can potentially leak onto the roads causing a hazard, it is also a fire hazard, as well as an environmental issue. This was identified by revolution mercedes in decatur, GA. After reading some forums, I have seen where others are having similar issues and believe this should be addressed.

The contact owns a 2016 mercedes-benz E350. The contact stated that there was an oil burning odor present inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine drive belts were faulty, and corrosion was present on the motor mounts. The vehicle was not yet repaired. In addition, the hvac system was faulty causing mold and mildew to build up inside the vehicle. The manufacturer was not yet notified. The failure mileage was 55,000.
