Watch This BEFORE Buying a Mercedes W212 E350 2010-2016

Рет қаралды 176,180

Күн бұрын

The W212 Mercedes E350 from 2010-2016 is actually surprisingly reliable for the type of car it is. Its reliability is probably one of the best within this generations lineup, as well. However, we do break down the common issues, and reliability reviewing each issue.
If you are in the market for one of these, be a tad weary for some of these issues.
I truly enjoy helping people and this is my outlet to do so. Have a great day everyone!

I had a 2011 e350 4matic for a few years, then replaced it with a 2014 which I still have. Both were/are station wagons in the luxury trim. Both were CPOs with MB warranties. The 2011's rear air suspension failed but was covered by the CPO warranty and was otherwise fine. The 2014 is no longer under CPO warranty but it has been and remains completely reliable and trouble free at about 85k miles. I've thankfully experienced none of the issues discussed here. It's as dependable as (dare I say it?) a Toyota!

I had two metal clanging noises in the interior of my 2014 E350. First was from the middle backseat seatbelt tensioner. It has a plastic housing holding a steel ball beating that will cause the seatbelt to lock in case of a rollover. Problem is the ball bearing bangs against the metal frame of the car. Gotta take a lot out of the car, like the entire backseat and remove the part. Next was a clanging noise caused by a loose screw in a cross beam in the roof. There are KZfaq videos to help with both.

Thanks for the information on the E350’s. I am finally getting another Mercedes after an eleven year hiatus. Previously I drove a S550, SL500 and SDL350. The diesel went to 250,000 miles before I got rid of it. The gas engine cars were around 100,000 miles before trading for trucks and SUV’s. My brother bought several E models for his wife and I enjoy the sporty looks and ease of driving through the city. Also parking is easier than the suburban. I still have my SUV but will be inheriting my moms 2013 E350 that is a hybrid and I was wondering if it is worth keeping or should not.

@@HasinShahadArRafi I did myself. It wasn't hard at all. But if I would have to guess, it would most likely cost around $100-$200 average depending on who you go to (parts pricing varies while labor prices are relatively the same). I would advise you to do it yourself if you're confident enough because it will possibly start doing it again. I live in a very cold state up north so most European cars will start to have electrical issues meaning that you will most likely run into the same problem again in the future.

Had front Continental tires check/feather - replaced tires and shocks. AMG wheels were scraped up - re-machined and clear coated. Replaced Aux battery. I inherited this W212 from my Father and he said that he never replaced the spark plugs. I replaced them and it ran so much better! I have the sport version with the AMG package and changing from Economy to Sport makes the acceleration even more fun. I plan to replace the thermostat and coolant from watching this video.

It look more like a C-class and was hard to decipher between the two. My E350 was the Sports Sedan special edition so the grille was like the E350 sports coupe..which made it more sporty and resembled/resembles the AMG W12 version..👌👍😊

My 14' had shift issues in 4th and 5th, software update fixed this. Places like FCP Euro recommend replacing camshaft sensors every couple years, as they will wick oil into the wire harness and flood the PCM with oil causing failure and harness and PCM both will need replacement. My M276 occasionally has startup noise, dealer tried to fix but with no success. I change oil too often and noise is not as bad, one cause may be the car sits a lot as I am now retired. Car has 142k miles on it, it runs good and strong. Radio did blow an IC chip, had the speaker output power rails (ic chips) replaced in radio. Rain sensor failed, easy fix. Keep motor and transmission mounts fresh to keep down vibrations and noise. Replace belt, idler and tensioner pulleys at the same time. Mercedes is discontinuing a great many parts for these cars, so learn who the OEMs are so when yours fail, you can keep going. I use Delphi for front control arms, Akebono pads, Mann filters, Purflux oil filter, OE Mercedes trans filter, buy extras for Mercedes parts. My friend has 278k on his 2014 and he DIY everything.

I have a 2014 E350 4matic with 97,000 miles. After my last service, my brakes failed. The rear brake lines had corroded and cracked ($2700). The rear suspension was corroded as well. After that repair, the sound system started making loud cracking sounds. The techs were not sure how to fix it. They said to replace the speakers but were not sure if it would work. The next step would be to replace the amp. This car has performed great for me until now. This sound repair would be over $3000 so now I have to wholesale it out. Very sad ending to a great experience. BTW my driver seat ripped at the seems around 40,000 miles and that was replaced.

I have a 2014, E-400 and love the car. I am very meticulous with my scheduled maintenance, and have experienced very few unexpected issues. The OEM battery died, as they all eventually will do, but it just ceased functioning this year. I have had one oil leak, and one issue with the MBrace software not updating successfully. To date, that is the only unrepaired item since the functionality of MBrace seems unimportant to me at this point. I was slightly tapped by another vehicle on the rear bumper, poking a small hole, so I had the rear bumper replaced, as well as the front one replaced and the paint touched up at the same time. Otherwise, the exterior and interior are nearly flawless on this 82K mile sedan.

2013 E350 4Matic purchased as CPO with 20,000 miles. Now has 126,000 miles and the only mechanical issue I’ve had was due to the MBZ ‘high-end’ dealership service department installing the wrong spark plugs at its 100K mileage maintenance. And the imitation leather driver’s seat bottom splitting at the seam. This is a known issue and should’ve required a recall or service notice to replace. Other than that, regular maintenance and cleaning keep the car top notch condition. I’ve done a couple clay bar treatments and rarely, rarely take it through an automated car wash and only to get the undercarriage rinsed off of salt in the winter.

My serpentine belt kept sliding of and getting shredded religiously after 100k! I was really a pain and would do it in the most inappropriate times! Almost caused me to collide with another vehicle as I was turning the corner & it popped! With that said, I eventually got rid of my 2011 E350 but boy do I miss it!

Check your front windshield seal. If it's cracked water will drip from the roof which you would then assume to be due to a damaged sun roof seal.

@@Sirbiznis had that experince after receiving my e350 from a shop that had it for a month to repair a small dent to the roof. Some how they damaged the front windshield seal. Took me a year to realize it wasnt the sunroof. Solution was to use some silicone to reseal it. Let me know if it stop the leak for you

There's a gorgeous black 2010 E350 sitting at a used car lot in my city ...147,000 miles on it ....they want 9700 for it...I noticed the rip seat and noticed the brake calibers look a little rusty...but other than that , looks great. Should I purchase it ? Worth it? This would be my 1st Mercedes-Benz ...any suggestions?

@sb2h 6 ай бұрын

Check your local car market to see if it's a good price. Ask the dealer if you can pay to take it to a shop to have it checked out. If everything comes back good, I'd say go for it. I'd try to haggle them down a bit though

It’s not a cheap car to run or service I’m afraid. How much more than a BMW or Audi? I’d suggest doing some research on costs before buying one 🤔 Mines a 2012 E350 with only 36k miles and is solid as a rock but still has had issues. Rusty brake line. Mercedes UK wanted over £1,200.00 to remove the back axel to fix it, a local MB specialists fixed and repaired it for £240.00. Like for like replacement battery £240.00. SAM engine chip £1,200.00 at a MB specialists, MB UK wanted £2,000.00!!!!! So it’s not cheap to fix on any level 🤔

@@AutoMotivate hi thanks for the reply, Yes I had the car on 4 jacks and took it to 100 miles, no bearing noise or differentials...will perform same at low speed this time as the motor noise under the car is also high at those speeds possibly muffling some sounds...on the road the "wou...wou...wou" sound is evident at 20-30mph and it carries on...more symphonic as the speed increases...very hard to detect...soon I will replace the tires to find out if that helps...presently they are as original equipment...
