I have a new GLE 250, every time I turn left or even slightly right I get a knock under my seat. It's been in to the dealer who reassured me they have replaced the parts concerned, but no, it still knocks.
It's going in for a 3rd time in a couple of weeks and don't want it back until it's fixed.
Anybody else get any seat knocking problems.

Haven't seen anything about the seat knocking but I agree. Take it back, tell them to fix it, before you leave with it, take a tech or advisor with you and make sure it doesn't happen again

My GLE has been in for 3 days, went to collect it this morning and still not perfect, still hear a sound when turning. I walked away from it, don't want it back until sorted. Shocking that a car of this value should be put together so loosely, even my centre console creeks...I love the GLE, but I'm beginning to dislike driving it

Extremely sorry to hear that, but glad you left it there for them to deal with it. Is it possible to pull a lemon clause and get another one ? How many miles do you have on it ?

You might want to start asking people about their GLE's production date since going off that you can pin point a batch that will have the least problems and suggest you get a GLE from that batch if you still want a GLE.

Keep us posted on how things go, hopefully this is the last of your issues.

Hi,
Since my last post, my seat has infact been fixed with a new seat and housing...still shouldnt have taken this long to fix this problem. Now I have a leaking air bag in the seat in the lumbar region....no deal breaker though as I don't really use it...will seriously look at what I get next with regards to Mercs...

I like to think that this is the price we pay for getting into a Mercedes unless i'm just becoming too content!

As long as you have a good dealer I guess it can be said that's all that matters, they can make or break your ownership experience.

Have them replace the seat again if possible, a leaking airbag is of great concern. Didn't even know those thing could leak unless they're deployed.
