The E350 is actually surprisingly reliable for a luxury car. If you take care of these cars, then you really wont have many major issue. If I missed an issue, comment down below! This is my outlet to help people. Hope everyone has a great day!
Thanks for the info...Benz is complicated in every respect one must spend and keep spending...I also own a 2006 Sonata V6 with over 320kms...never had to replace anything since new...flawless to date...
@@Bougie.TheKiD Some are higher quality than others. Some has finishes that prevents them from ripping as fast as others. Some are simply easier to take care off.
My 2011 E350 has over 220K miles, without problem. At 200K the engine and trans mounts was replaced. Recently a check engine light came on and I replaced the fuel tank cover under the rear passenger side seat, using TH-cam video instruction. Still running like a champ..
I love my 2014 E-350 we got this thing pimped out and I genuinely think this is one of the nicest Mercedes series.I got 19' wheels, bc racing coils, fully blacked out tint, etc, makes thing look like an amg
We've had the e320 and two different years of the e350. They can be reliable, but we've had issues with the interior quality. Things come apart on the dash like the wood trim and the seats do tear easily at the seams. We tried getting help, but were told it would cost far too much and not be worth it. Parts are expensive so keep that in mind. Also avoid the dealership for any mechanical work whatsoever. As long as you don't get a dud, which happens with any manufacturer, then the e class is the most reliable and recommended class in the benz lineup. I'm unsure about the other models. The manual does tell you everything either. We have a factory remote start and there was 0 documentation about it. The local mechanic had to show us and we were surprised and confused because this whole time we never heard about it having a remote start at all.
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!
Toyota??? hahaha i love benz but there is no way that any modern mb will hit 300000-500000 miles without major failure. I have 350000 miles on my old prius and just got the mb e350 as a extra car- i feel like im walking on the eggshells, And ironically- the old mercedes was known for hitting that mileage- w123 for example
The problem I ran into was my brake line rusting out over the years when I bought it at 96,000 miles and I’ve had it for two years now and nothing major except regular maintenance, it’s still cruising at 130,000 miles 👍🏻 2010 E350 4matic
Good stuff . I have the same car a little over 100k at 102k I hope it’ll last another 20k till I buy my upgrade c43 Amg . Im starting a few mods during the holidays like new grills, lip , front and back lights etc . What a great car in my opinion
I also experienced a rusty brake line which lead to a pinhole leak and loss of breaking. Had to get it to the Mercedes dealer in Westchester NY who charged $2,000 for replacing both lines. Had no choice, but to bite the bullet. But, since then I have had no major issues and I get it regularly serviced.
I have a 2014 e350 with v6. Been a great car now at 105k miles. I did have to replace the front control arms covered in this video and the seal around timing chain cover. That is the only two things I have had done besides normal maintenance. Forgot. I replaced the bottom driver seat cover due to tearing also covered in this video.
2014 E-350, Just turned 186k and runs great, got it with 77k in 2019, lots of city miles, take it up to 110-120 regularly. Replaced motor mounts in 2020 and it rode like new. Such a great car , just a gem.
I purchased my 2014 E350. I serviced transmission at 90.000 p&l $400 and new spark plugs and coils at 93,000 p&l $800. Just did the serpentine belt p&l $400 and radiator flush and fill $300. Next job looks like timing chain. p&l $3,000. I buy parts from FCP and do work at local mechanic. I am committed to doing the maintenance so the car runs tip top. The new spark plugs and trani service made huge improvement. Oil change at 4,000 miles with synthetic. Must do this.
Bro could you expound upon the first problem; transmission problem, I’ve had to change my ism of the car but haven’t clearly understood the issue and solution
My 2010 E350 has yet to have any of these failures. I still only have 86k mileage on the car though. I went ahead and changed the thermostat already due to a intermittent dash warning stating that my radiator coolant is low. It wasn't and reservoir was full.
@@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.
I got a 2014 350 wagon. Rear airbags failed at 78k Chamshaft adjuster failed at 84k. I have concerns with the transmission now. I cold weather shift from 5to 4 is a little rough. The car has good maintenance records. Transmission service performed. I spent 4k just in one month. I replaced the airbags and performed the basic maintenance. The camshaft adjuster replacement was 2,5k at a professional.
My 2010 E350 has 136000 and is still running smooth. The check engine light came on a while back, I took it to the benz shop and they told me the camshaft sensor needed replaced. Recently I also replaced the motor band for squeaky noise. I always do the maintenance on time and my car is still picking up 130 out of 160 like nothing.
In one week i will be picking up a 2011 W212 Luxury Trim with 167,000miles. Only ever had one other owner, according to carfax. Vertical stitch leather seats and moon roof, as well. Great video, this one. Thanks for all the hard work. Guys like me need guys like you.
I own a 2016 e350 as my daily driver and I bought it at 43k miles . I’ve had it for a little more than 2 years and so far it’s at 65k and I haven’t had any issues , just basic maintenance. My ONLY issue is the amg sport rims that come with the amg package . I live in NY so it snows heavy at times and when I tell you man ! That the snow and salt eat the rims is ridiculous ! Gotta fix them every year ! I would be upset if I had a real amg ! But other than that she’s been real reliable to me and she’s great on gas !
@@lexortiz1918I live in ny too. Just get rims powder coated and refinished. How’s the gas mileage on these? I’m looking for a daily driver because I can’t drive my V8 x5 daily.
@@dabronxguru1824 ahhh man it doesn’t get any better for a German luxury v6 . 500-600 miles on a full tank , highest I’ve seen on the dash was around 570-600 miles . My job is also very close and don’t commute much so I only spent $40 a week on gas . This vehicle is perfect ! Still a head turner, great on gas, has the Horse power to enjoy the car (304 hp), is fully aspirated so very reliable in the long run and maintenance really isn’t as expensive you’d think it would be . I love this car overall ! One of the best well rounded luxury German vehicle to own in my opinion
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.
No issues so far with my w212. Just one common issue which has to do with the auxiliary battery. It is located below the steering wheel and if you don’t change it it will start killing the main battery overnight.
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 TH-cam videos to help with both.
I have a 11 w212 and one common issue I had and people in my Facebook group was when it rains hard water gets in the car because of a sunroof drain is clogged a bit ..u would need to pour hot water and use compressed air in the two holes located at the front part of the sunroof....
@@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
@@eagleeagle681 none. IM AT 255k just did a tune up. Was racing a 2018 GT charger and had him beat by car lengths till I got stuck at 133MPH then he flew past me. STILL WOULDNT TRADE MY CAR
I have a 2014 E350 4matic sedan. It has been a great car. I have 93K miles. They always talk about Lexus being the most reliable car. This model of Mercedes may be the best Mercedes ever made. It would make a great used car buy!
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.
One problem I had with my 2012 was a computer problem caused by hitting a big pothole on the highway. Another issue was the swivel wheel mount functioning. Lastly, the blower motor failed. After everything was fixed, nothing bad has happened.
Only issue I had with my 2013 E350 was the leather seats ripping and wood panel fading…I love/loved the body style on this model and wasn’t fond of the E350 2014-2015 where the body style seemed smaller and front head lights and grille changed.. 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..👌👍😊
Great video! 2010 e350 2wd 126k miles. Both traction control warning lights appear, "esc inoperable" displayed on info center and vehicle goes into limp mode. Gonna be fun testing voltage to the various electronic components associated with the esc system...gas pedal, brake switch, angle sensor, yaw control...I will report back.
Sounds like a fiasco. I wish you luck! Traction control lights can pop up for many reasons. If you replaced any wheel bearings, I’d check that. I’d also start at the fuses
Have a e350 cdi. Issue with replacing High pressure sensor which Than was leaking 16months . Claimed the repairs from Mercedes under their 2year parts warranty.
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.
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.
Issues i have encountered: 1) aux battery not working affecting the locking system with the doors over 100k 2) I can not change or shift to driver or R , i have to turn off the car, open and close the door and then start again. 3) some time ago i had total failure of Electricity . nothing worked but the fan was working on full. Ultimately it was resolved by itself. ( extreme cold a factor)
I have a e350 coupe 40k miles , I feel most future repairs are mostly affordable except the complicated air suspension when it goes out , it’s nuffin wrong with trying to go afta market strut and spring assembly, also only problem I have is my passenger seat is off track due to faulty seat adjuster bracket
I want to get a E350 for my wife but now im kinda apprehensive in doing so. She loves the premium feel and look but we also NEED the reliability. We are looking at a few that are between 2010-2013 but everyone says run from them 😞
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.
Does everyone has problems with the front struts? If I hit a pothole the front bottoms out so easy. My Honda civic handled quieter than my w212 sport. Glad to hear your experience! 😁
At 100k the car is running like new - just routine maintenance. The only issue was at about 50k the seat stitching came apart. I've never had a car's seats break open and I've owned some pretty crappy cars. The service people were very unconcerned and told me $650 to stitch it back up - final offer. My experience is that the E350 is a very reliable car but the MB service people are terrible. Find a good independent auto mechanic!
I own I 2010 E350 beautiful black on black with grey wood grain AMG steering W , AMG rims , 10 years now , O issues , just auxiliary battery need to be changed . Love my benzo
I have a 2010 E350 CDi Sport 642.850 engine. Beautiful car and had it for 6 years. She is on 135,000 Miles now and i carry out maintenance on it on regular intervals. i change the oil religiously every 8.000 miles, yes i know that Mercs recommend 12-15000 miles but as soon as you hit 100000 i would recommend doing it earlier. Ive had no turbo issues probably because of the early oil changes. Another common fault with these are the Oil Cooler seals are prone to leaking. This fills up the V with oil and over time this flood of oil will make its way down from the back of the engine onto the DPF which will cause smoke to eminate from underneath the car. The new revised purple colour seals need to be fitted at bottom of Oil Cooler which is at the bottom of V (Big Job). The EGR valve has also been replaced due to leaking coolant from the EGR cooler. Inlet Manifold has been replaced due to warped inner flaps at the same time as Oil Cooler Seals. The Swirl flap motor also has been replaced as the air intake pipe to Turbo red seal was dripping oil onto the the motor which is situated directly under Turbo inlet. This is also a common problem on these. If you want a bit more grunt from this lovely powerplant, get a Stage 1 remap from a proper company, I had it done last month and for a relatively small cost ive now got 275BHP instead of the already impressive 231BHP. All in all what a lovely car to own, i love it! Last bit of advice for you all is to add a good additive to your fuel tank every 6-8000 miles for the DPF. I use Liqui Moly. This will avoid expensive DPF replacements, especially if you are doing regular short mileage trips. My DPF Soot and Ash volume is always very low and this helps keep the DPF in good shape. Good Vid by the way!
2014 e350 Sport, 78K miles: Trunk release sensor failed. Replaced the auxiliary battery 3 times. Driver side seat cushion heating element failed. Motor for tilt/telescope steering wheel failed. Engine and transmission mounts need replacing. Engine oil leak. Blown left front door speaker.
Have a e350 blue tech. It has a stuttering problem with no power almost like it’s in limp mode. It almost good a low speeds but u try to get on hiway it will just lay over. Takes forever to get up to 70 miles an hour.
I have w212 airbags deflate and the clutch is stuttery for the first few miles but what a car love it thanks for the info, ill look out for these problems you mentioned love the vids keep em coming
I think Mercedes Benz gets a bad rap. I don't think it's that people don't take care of their cars. I think it's just that each part has sort of an expiration date where they'll go bad individually in their own individual time. We all know that manufacturers obtain parts from different suppliers and these parts consist of varying degrees of quality. And some brand and model cars have a more or less vicious cycle that you have to put up with. Some of which once the suspect part is replaced, the car will then run as intended. That is until that cycle comes around for the next part to go. Otherwise some will leave you stranded more often than others. I personally received an education in Mercedes Benz and breaking parts. I had a w203 2001 C320. Bought used in 2008. After i purchased it i found out it was an accident car. (Proper homework was not done on my part prior to purchase). I've taken it out of frustration to at least four mechanics for various issues. They can be a strange cars but once you figure your car out, they're no more problematic than a Toyota.
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 🤔
I have a 2014 E350 4 Matic and The Rear Subframe needed replacing (recall). Also needed Camshaft adjustor replaced, only replaced 1 ($3k job) and there is 4 of them haha
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!
Picked up a four year old 2016 USA E350 in 2019 with 90K on the odometer. It has the 3.5l 276 engine. I changed the transmission fluid immediately after the purchase. Been driving it three years with almost no issue. Had to replace the ignition coil on cylinder number two last week. Total cost was $200, including the scan tool used to diagnose the vehicle. Other than that, maintenance has consisted of changing the oil every six months. Brakes are due for replacement, but there is still plenty of pad left for another five thousand miles or so. The odometer says 112K today. We'll see how it goes. Paid $19,200 for the car and it seems like a good deal.
Nice man I found a 2014 e350 with 100k for 7500$ I don’t necessarily like Mercedes more of a Honda / Acura guy but they charging crazy for the tlx & rlx right now so I think I would go with my second choice this car.

My W212 has about 100k. I have had to replace the blower motor - easy replacement. Had the drivers seat seam split - I removed the seat and brought the lower vinyl to upholstery guy for repair. 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. This is good video.
Just purchased a 2014 E250 Bluetec sedan. The rear sunshade is askew/off the track on one side. The cable is visible on the side that is off the track. Not sue whether this is repairable or will I need to replace the shade/motor assembly. Is this a common problem in the W212 series?
Torque converter issues, seems to be a common failure on e350s with 4matic. Mines a 2011 with 4matic and the torque converter is failing. You can feel a shudder at around 1200-2200 rpm under slight load and uphill acceleration. You would also notice the rpm needle oscillating.
@Krish Vasnani I also have a 2011 4Matic and lately noticing the same symptoms you are describing, except the rpm oscillating. It’s alway the same place for sure when I pick my son up from the school and the road has a slight slope as soon as you leave the school parking lot, still accelerating gently because it’s in the neighborhood. Never fails it’s almost to the exact spot on that road. What makes you think that it’s the TC? I was thinking it might be related to that turbine speed sensor and just changed the atf and filter at early July this year but honestly it made no difference. Car has 116K now and I’ve been noticing this since maybe around 108-109K. Other than that no complaints. Ahh also for the poster, very good and informative video mate, keep up the good work.
@@commodoreras What makes me think its the TC itself, first my car is quite a high mileage one; At 170k miles. I can read the turbine speed from the scan tool, and it seems appropriate. On the other hand I can feel the rpm oscillation especially under acceleration, which makes me think its a mechanical failure rather than an electronic one.
I have had no issues with my 2013 e550 cabriolet, however it still has very low mileage at 30K. Does anyone know how to adjust the CD play mode so there isn't a 1 sec gap between tracks? All my CD's play seamlessly in my Audi Q7.
The question is , Does he own one or just an ecochamber. I have had most all Mercedes models and had very few issues. 2001 cl500 and e320 wagon was most problematic.
The E350 is actually surprisingly reliable for a luxury car. If you take care of these cars, then you really wont have many major issue.

We've had the e320 and two different years of the e350. They can be reliable, but we've had issues with the interior quality. Things come apart on the dash like the wood trim and the seats do tear easily at the seams. We tried getting help, but were told it would cost far too much and not be worth it.
Parts are expensive so keep that in mind. Also avoid the dealership for any mechanical work whatsoever.
As long as you don't get a dud, which happens with any manufacturer, then the e class is the most reliable and recommended class in the benz lineup. I'm unsure about the other models.

I have two W 212 since 5 years. No problems non so ever. Only oil cooler seals got changed after 100 k miles. Love these cars. Nothing but the best.
How much did that run you?
Did you do it as preventive or you had an issue you were trying to fix?
2014 E-350, Just turned 186k and runs great, got it with 77k in 2019, lots of city miles, take it up to 110-120 regularly. Replaced motor mounts in 2020 and it rode like new. Such a great car , just a gem.
what would you say u have to look for when buying one
I purchased my 2014 E350. I serviced transmission at 90.000 p&l $400 and new spark plugs and coils at 93,000 p&l $800. Just did the serpentine belt p&l $400 and radiator flush and fill $300. Next job looks like timing chain. p&l $3,000. I buy parts from FCP and do work at local mechanic. I am committed to doing the maintenance so the car runs tip top. The new spark plugs and trani service made huge improvement. Oil change at 4,000 miles with synthetic. Must do this.
2013 E 350,my only problem to date is the oil cooler which I have had to replace at 60,000 miles
So basically very nuisance issues that any car could have? Perfect 😍
Very well said! My w212 had four of the issues described by you. After fixing, the beast is running smoothly. 😊
I appreciate that! If you take care of the car, it will take care of you 🙏
No issues yet just hit 100k
What were your issues exactly?
Bro could you expound upon the first problem; transmission problem, I’ve had to change my ism of the car but haven’t clearly understood the issue and solution
The video is edited so well! I dont have a merc but stayed for the quality 😂👍
My 2010 E350 has yet to have any of these failures. I still only have 86k mileage on the car though. I went ahead and changed the thermostat already due to a intermittent dash warning stating that my radiator coolant is low. It wasn't and reservoir was full.
i have the same issue, could you tell me how much it would cost to change the thermostat?
@@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.
I got a 2014 350 wagon. Rear airbags failed at 78k Chamshaft adjuster failed at 84k. I have concerns with the transmission now. I cold weather shift from 5to 4 is a little rough. The car has good maintenance records. Transmission service performed. I spent 4k just in one month. I replaced the airbags and performed the basic maintenance. The camshaft adjuster replacement was 2,5k at a professional.
My 2010 E350 has 136000 and is still running smooth. The check engine light came on a while back, I took it to the benz shop and they told me the camshaft sensor needed replaced. Recently I also replaced the motor band for squeaky noise. I always do the maintenance on time and my car is still picking up 130 out of 160 like nothing.
How much did all cost ended up?
@@rizky2646 for the motor band $560 and the camshaft sensors $300 and something
how often d y do maintenance??
@@augustins1219 as soon as it needs it

How did u fix the shifting issue! The whole car shakes during hard acceleration right?
In one week i will be picking up a 2011 W212 Luxury Trim with 167,000miles. Only ever had one other owner, according to carfax.
Vertical stitch leather seats and moon roof, as well. Great video, this one. Thanks for all the hard work. Guys like me need guys like you.
I own a 2016 e350 as my daily driver and I bought it at 43k miles . I’ve had it for a little more than 2 years and so far it’s at 65k and I haven’t had any issues , just basic maintenance. My ONLY issue is the amg sport rims that come with the amg package . I live in NY so it snows heavy at times and when I tell you man ! That the snow and salt eat the rims is ridiculous ! Gotta fix them every year ! I would be upset if I had a real amg ! But other than that she’s been real reliable to me and she’s great on gas !
Dang, that's a pain. Perhaps think about ceramic coating them?
@@AutoMotivate im going to have to think of something. Either that or buy a new set of rims smh

@@lexortiz1918I live in ny too. Just get rims powder coated and refinished. How’s the gas mileage on these? I’m looking for a daily driver because I can’t drive my V8 x5 daily.
@@dabronxguru1824 ahhh man it doesn’t get any better for a German luxury v6 . 500-600 miles on a full tank , highest I’ve seen on the dash was around 570-600 miles . My job is also very close and don’t commute much so I only spent $40 a week on gas . This vehicle is perfect ! Still a head turner, great on gas, has the Horse power to enjoy the car (304 hp), is fully aspirated so very reliable in the long run and maintenance really isn’t as expensive you’d think it would be . I love this car overall ! One of the best well rounded luxury German vehicle to own in my opinion
Just bought 2011 e350, first mercedes and so far i love it.
Still all good?
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.
Holy crap I thought I was just tripping with the AC smelling musty
I thought I had a wet cat in my car one day😂
I had a 2013 for few years. No issues, but the cabin filter needed to be changed quite often. Great car!
No issues so far with my w212. Just one common issue which has to do with the auxiliary battery. It is located below the steering wheel and if you don’t change it it will start killing the main battery overnight.
Mine too
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 TH-cam videos to help with both.
I have a 11 w212 and one common issue I had and people in my Facebook group was when it rains hard water gets in the car because of a sunroof drain is clogged a bit ..u would need to pour hot water and use compressed air in the two holes located at the front part of the sunroof....
Same here. found out the hard way at the carwash, lol
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.
@@SalmAndrew wow i didnt know that thank you so much
@@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

I have a 2014 E350 4matic sedan. It has been a great car. I have 93K miles. They always talk about Lexus being the most reliable car. This model of Mercedes may be the best Mercedes ever made. It would make a great used car buy!
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.
One problem I had with my 2012 was a computer problem caused by hitting a big pothole on the highway. Another issue was the swivel wheel mount functioning. Lastly, the blower motor failed. After everything was fixed, nothing bad has happened.
if u still have it, is it still running well?

Only issue I had with my 2013 E350 was the leather seats ripping and wood panel fading…I love/loved the body style on this model and wasn’t fond of the E350 2014-2015 where the body style seemed smaller and front head lights and grille changed.. 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..👌👍😊
I have the avantgarde which has real leather. Not leatherette
Great video!
2010 e350 2wd 126k miles. Both traction control warning lights appear, "esc inoperable" displayed on info center and vehicle goes into limp mode. Gonna be fun testing voltage to the various electronic components associated with the esc system...gas pedal, brake switch, angle sensor, yaw control...I will report back.
Sounds like a fiasco. I wish you luck! Traction control lights can pop up for many reasons. If you replaced any wheel bearings, I’d check that. I’d also start at the fuses
Have a e350 cdi. Issue with replacing High pressure sensor which Than was leaking 16months . Claimed the repairs from Mercedes under their 2year parts warranty.
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.
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.
Fantastic review
Seems the refreshed 2014-2016 w212 E-Class models had most of the bugs worked out seen from 2010-2013.
Hoping so with my 2014
Issues i have encountered:
1) aux battery not working affecting the locking system with the doors over 100k
2) I can not change or shift to driver or R , i have to turn off the car, open and close the door and then start again.
3) some time ago i had total failure of Electricity . nothing worked but the fan was working on full. Ultimately it was resolved by itself. ( extreme cold a factor)
I have a e350 coupe 40k miles , I feel most future repairs are mostly affordable except the complicated air suspension when it goes out , it’s nuffin wrong with trying to go afta market strut and spring assembly, also only problem I have is my passenger seat is off track due to faulty seat adjuster bracket
Are you sure it has air suspension. My 2013 e 350 sedan doesn't. I avoid it

I want to get a E350 for my wife but now im kinda apprehensive in doing so. She loves the premium feel and look but we also NEED the reliability. We are looking at a few that are between 2010-2013 but everyone says run from them 😞
2010 ! 82000 miles Runs like a Rolex .
Best car I’ve ever run ! Just Service and Tyres and Brake Services . This guy must have a Dud .
All cars have issues, my friend. I'm just briefing potential buyers so they don't get into a bad situation.
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.
Great video explaining reliability issues. Thanks!
Does everyone has problems with the front struts? If I hit a pothole the front bottoms out so easy. My Honda civic handled quieter than my w212 sport.
Glad to hear your experience! 😁
I own a 2015. Have occasionally noticed the revving thing, other than that it’s been a great car. Thanks for the video
At 100k the car is running like new - just routine maintenance. The only issue was at about 50k the seat stitching came apart. I've never had a car's seats break open and I've owned some pretty crappy cars. The service people were very unconcerned and told me $650 to stitch it back up - final offer. My experience is that the E350 is a very reliable car but the MB service people are terrible. Find a good independent auto mechanic!

the most deserved sub🔥
I have a 2010 E350 CDi Sport 642.850 engine. Beautiful car and had it for 6 years. She is on 135,000 Miles now and i carry out maintenance on it on regular intervals. i change the oil religiously every 8.000 miles, yes i know that Mercs recommend 12-15000 miles but as soon as you hit 100000 i would recommend doing it earlier. Ive had no turbo issues probably because of the early oil changes.
Another common fault with these are the Oil Cooler seals are prone to leaking. This fills up the V with oil and over time this flood of oil will make its way down from the back of the engine onto the DPF which will cause smoke to eminate from underneath the car. The new revised purple colour seals need to be fitted at bottom of Oil Cooler which is at the bottom of V (Big Job).
The EGR valve has also been replaced due to leaking coolant from the EGR cooler.
Inlet Manifold has been replaced due to warped inner flaps at the same time as Oil Cooler Seals.
The Swirl flap motor also has been replaced as the air intake pipe to Turbo red seal was dripping oil onto the the motor which is situated directly under Turbo inlet. This is also a common problem on these. If you want a bit more grunt from this lovely powerplant, get a Stage 1 remap from a proper company, I had it done last month and for a relatively small cost ive now got 275BHP instead of the already impressive 231BHP.
All in all what a lovely car to own, i love it!
Last bit of advice for you all is to add a good additive to your fuel tank every 6-8000 miles for the DPF. I use Liqui Moly. This will avoid expensive DPF replacements, especially if you are doing regular short mileage trips. My DPF Soot and Ash volume is always very low and this helps keep the DPF in good shape. Good Vid by the way!
I experienced an O2 sensor failure as well as the transmission issue you mentioned
2014 e350 Sport, 78K miles: Trunk release sensor failed. Replaced the auxiliary battery 3 times. Driver side seat cushion heating element failed. Motor for tilt/telescope steering wheel failed. Engine and transmission mounts need replacing. Engine oil leak. Blown left front door speaker.
Maybe do with categories? Diesel and then petrol. Adding one time diesel then going to petrol engine is confusing
Fuel pump plastic elbow cracking and failing giving you a strong gasoline smell around the car. Failure is usually around 50K Miles.

I think Mercedes Benz gets a bad rap. I don't think it's that people don't take care of their cars. I think it's just that each part has sort of an expiration date where they'll go bad individually in their own individual time. We all know that manufacturers obtain parts from different suppliers and these parts consist of varying degrees of quality. And some brand and model cars have a more or less vicious cycle that you have to put up with. Some of which once the suspect part is replaced, the car will then run as intended. That is until that cycle comes around for the next part to go. Otherwise some will leave you stranded more often than others.
I personally received an education in Mercedes Benz and breaking parts. I had a w203 2001 C320. Bought used in 2008. After i purchased it i found out it was an accident car. (Proper homework was not done on my part prior to purchase). I've taken it out of frustration to at least four mechanics for various issues. They can be a strange cars but once you figure your car out, they're no more problematic than a Toyota.

I wanted one of these but so many motor problems. 🤷🤷
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 🤔

Solution was pulleys needed replacing
Picked up a four year old 2016 USA E350 in 2019 with 90K on the odometer. It has the 3.5l 276 engine. I changed the transmission fluid immediately after the purchase. Been driving it three years with almost no issue. Had to replace the ignition coil on cylinder number two last week. Total cost was $200, including the scan tool used to diagnose the vehicle. Other than that, maintenance has consisted of changing the oil every six months. Brakes are due for replacement, but there is still plenty of pad left for another five thousand miles or so. The odometer says 112K today. We'll see how it goes. Paid $19,200 for the car and it seems like a good deal.

whats the difference between the 280bhp cgi and the later 305 bhp version of the engine?
Torque converter issues, seems to be a common failure on e350s with 4matic. Mines a 2011 with 4matic and the torque converter is failing. You can feel a shudder at around 1200-2200 rpm under slight load and uphill acceleration. You would also notice the rpm needle oscillating.
@Krish Vasnani I also have a 2011 4Matic and lately noticing the same symptoms you are describing, except the rpm oscillating.
It’s alway the same place for sure when I pick my son up from the school and the road has a slight slope as soon as you leave the school parking lot, still accelerating gently because it’s in the neighborhood. Never fails it’s almost to the exact spot on that road.
What makes you think that it’s the TC?
I was thinking it might be related to that turbine speed sensor and just changed the atf and filter at early July this year but honestly it made no difference. Car has 116K now and I’ve been noticing this since maybe around 108-109K.
Other than that no complaints.
Ahh also for the poster, very good and informative video mate, keep up the good work.
@@commodoreras What makes me think its the TC itself, first my car is quite a high mileage one; At 170k miles. I can read the turbine speed from the scan tool, and it seems appropriate. On the other hand I can feel the rpm oscillation especially under acceleration, which makes me think its a mechanical failure rather than an electronic one.
Same car same symptoms
