What are common issues with 2011 Mercedes Benz E350?

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).

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!

So I’ve got this '11 E350, been rolling around California with it, and lemme tell ya, the turbocharger’s a real headache.

Totally worth driving if u don’t mind a lil extra TLC, ya know?

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.

No car’s perfect, right? Overall, it’s a wild ride!

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 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!

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. :roll_eyes:
