Our mechanic reports a dime-sized rust hole in the rear subframe.

- Garrett Park, MD, USA

The rear sub-frame involving vehicle stability under braking and turning. A component that should remain attached to the vehicle has broken off due to corrosion. My vehicle is not that old that a key structural component of the car should break at the weld/attachment point. I have video of this defect. But its greater than 10MB and will not let me upload it is there an email I can send it to ?

2014 E350 with 41,000 miles. Rusted subframe and was informed that it represented unsafe and risky driving conditions. Reported this to manufacturer as, apparently, it is a very common problem with certain Mercedes classes. No recall and very expensive fix ($4500)! Not my idea of a safe and reliable car, as Mercedes likes to advertise. Consumers should not be responsible for manufacturing defects/ poor quality of materials used..... and should definitely not be exposed to unsafe conditions when operating their vehicle!

Mercedes Benz E350 2014 - Panoramic Sunroof rattling and squeaking noise/sound: This issue has been reported by many online, and it is a well known problem with E350. It starts with a little bit of squeak and metallic rattle noise here and there, and then after a year or so it is almost happening all the time as you drive the car. Dealer states that Sunroof Frame bolts have to be retorqued and loose bolts which rattle around have to be put back on. Estimated cost $712. If not a safety risk causing Pano sunroof to eventually fly off, it should definitely be a recall as many E350 owners have reported the same issue, and it is a manufacturer defect.

Trunk has opened 6 - 8 times on its own. In just over 5,000 miles of ownership and two documented attempts to repair the problem persists. The trunk opens on its own in nearly any combination of; in motion, stopped, in gear, out of gear, moderate speed (40-50 mph), low speed (a crawl) cool temps., warm temps., top up, top down. I have even tried, while the car is in motion, to deliberately open the trunk with the key fob and with the door mounted release. It did not open when I tried to replicate an unintentional opening. Most recent incident, 10/24/2020- while in my garage, temperature cool ~ 65 degrees, key in ignition engine and running for about 1-2 minutes, both car doors closed, putting on seat belt, emergency brake still on, still in park, heard the trunk pop open. Confirmed the open trunk in the rear-view mirror. The eight + months between this occurrence and the last attempt to repair is misleading as the car's been driven less than 500 miles between the last repair and when the trunk opened on its own this time.

I was driving the car down 880 until I suddenly heard a cracklings noise coming from the back of my car. I had just gotten the car serviced a week before so this was very unpleasant and surprising. I ended up turning back and parking my car at home. The next day while driving to the dealer I still heard the noise and there was a weird burning smell. The noise continued even after shutting off the car. I went to the dealer and they diagnosed that the right passenger speaker had melted and they also changed my amp. In my dealer notes, it states that there have been multiple occurrences yet it seems like there is no recall.
