So, I’ve been driving my 2011 E350 for a few years now. Key issues are mostly with the transmission. It can get jerky, especially in cold weather. Had to swap it out once, kinda pricey. And the electrical system acts up sometimes too. Lights flicker or the blower motor kicks in randomly. My buddy had the same thing; seems common.
Cooling system can be a pain, leaks happen. Had to replace hoses, now it’s holding up.
Fuel pump failed too. Sounds like a horror movie. Changed it recently. Ever had battery problems? Mine died outta nowhere. You know any tricks to prevent these things?> Like, anyone find a good mechanic who gets the Benz quirks?
I’ve got a 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 here in Toronto, and let me tell ya, it’s been a bit of a ride (pun intended). Some common glitches: the transmission can act up, especially in colder months, and the front brakes tend to squeak more than a classroom full of pencils. Also, the infotainment system can be pretty finicky. I’ve learned to love the challenges, but man, repairs add up quick. Fellow owners, it’s what seem to be expected with these beasts!
I’ve had a 2011 Mercedes E350 here in Texas, and it’s mostly smooth, but the turbos can act up after a while. Had to replace mine due to weird noises. Also, the transmission’s been finicky sometimes. JustFYI, regular maintenance can help! It’s a sweet ride when it works, but definitely watch out!
I drove an E350 in Texas, and the A/C started acting up—switching between hot and cold like crazy. Also, had to replace brake pads more often than my wife’s jeans. But let’s be real, for the luxury vibes, these issues aren’t the end of the world. Anyone else had similar probs? As long as it purrs on the road, it’s a sweet ride!
So I’ve got this '11 E350, been rolling around California with it, and lemme tell ya, the turbocharger’s a real headache. Seems like it loves to throw tantrums, especially when the oil pressure drops suddenly. I’ve heard the suspension’s got issues too. Car’s decently smooth but can get dicey on the roads. Totally worth driving if u don’t mind a lil extra TLC, ya know?
I’ve had a 2011 E350 in sunny California, and maybe you’ll relate. Engine light drama: that’s a common headache! Transmissions can be sketchy—a bit of a gamble. Also, electrical quirks can annoy ya. But handled right, it’s a smooth ride. Been a fun car, despite needing maintenance. Ever been in a similar boat? Drop your stories, y’all.
Back in '12, I lived in Toronto and my friend’s 2011 E350 had some sweet looks but also rickety AC issues. Dealerships always had a look of dread—which was transferred to me. Plus, complaints about the transmission slipping made it a real headache. Anyone else had similar probs with this ride?
I’ve had my E350 in Texas for years, and it’s been mostly smooth, but that transmission can be a real headache. My buddy’s from Toronto had coolant leaks like crazy, and his dealer was part of the fix-it bandwagon. Guess you gotta watch out for that, and some say the AC isn’t the best. But overall, it’s still a sleek ride. Any of you deal with goat-mouth repairs?
I’ve had my fair share of issues with my '11 E350 here in Toronto. First up, the transmission felt like it was from the dark ages. Also, the A/C decided to go kaput right outta the blue. Steeriness was iffy at times too, made me feel like I was bugsitting a spaceship when it rained. But the ride’s epic when it’s smooth. Despite the hiccups, it’s got that Mercedes magic, ya know? No car’s perfect, right? Overall, it’s a wild ride!
I’ve owned a '11 E350 in Cali, and tranny issues were a real pain. Had tons of discussions with folks here trying to dodge costly fixes. Fuel pump problems and a finicky A/C too. Just expect to fork out some cash for maintenance if you go for one!
I’ve had an experience with my 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 here in Canada. Parking sensors always on the fritz, and the radio’s touch screen freezes up all the time. Odd smell too - kinda like a mix of burnt toast and gasoline. I think everyone’s talking ‘bout those starters actin’ up mostly. Noticed after stepin’ on the gas, it hesitates like crazy. Anyone else got similar headaches with theirs? Kinda makes ya think twice 'bout German engineering sometimes!
I’ve owned a 2011 E350 in Canada and ran into some annoying issues, like the AC failing mid-trip and the A/C compressor dying outta nowhere. Heard a lot of horror stories about the transmission kicking the bucket too. They say it’s supposed to be reliable, but mine kept me on my toes for sure!
I’ve got a '11 Merc E350 up in Philly, belonged to my dad, and there are a few probs, man. You know, the radiator issues can kill ya on a hot summer day, just like that! And don’t get me started on the suspension; feels like it’s always scrapin’ the ground in the city. Not sure if it’s just us, but it’s been a handful, for sure. Peace!
I’ve had some probs with my 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 in Toronto—oil leaks and brake noise were the worst. Heard others in the US have similar gripes, but love the luxury still!
I’ve owned an '11 E350 for years in Toronto, and the electrical wiring’s a beast, especially with the aircon. My buddy in Detroit’s still on his third AC compressor. Also, the power seats act up if you’ve installed any custom mods. But hey, drives like a dream!
I’ve had an E350 '11 in California, and yeah, a few issues pop up. Transmission kind of sticks when shifting - drives me barmy sometimes. Battery was drama too, needed replacing more than once. Found a few headlight problems too, always going out. Overall, classy ride but a few quirks to watch out for - no biggie if you keep up with maintenance!
I’ve got a '11 E350 here in Ontario, Canada, and it’s been a wild ride. Transmission issues are a pain, constantly hitting snags in Chicago too. Oh, and the electric locks can get finicky, especially in high humidity. Anyone else driving off-road more due to slow dealerships?
I’ve got a 2011 E350 in Seattle—transmission’s tricky, needs regular check-ups. Suspension’s wonky too but hey, it’s Mercedes, right? Have you brewed up some solid fixes? Mine’s a work in progress for sure!
In Denver, my 2011 E350’s trans started acting up around 80k miles. Costly fix, but runs smooth now. Heard from pals, the electronics can be quirky, like it’s got a mind of its own sometimes. Got stuck with a few recalls too. Probably not the smooth ride some folks say it is. 
I’ve owned a 2011 E350 since 2015 here in Canada. Suspension issues and fiddly electronics keep me busy, but it drives well overall. Maintenance costs can be wild sometimes! Great car—quirky as it is.
