This page covers 7 recalls and 10 owner complaints for the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Amg Gle43.
Complaints filed against the 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE43 are spread thinly across a small number of reports, with no single system drawing heavy repeat volume. The most notable individual reports cover a few distinct issues: one owner describes the vehicle swerving unpredictably in a zigzag pattern at various speeds and road conditions, with no warning lights triggered; one report involves airbags that reportedly did not deploy during a collision; and separate reports describe sunroof failures, including a fractured panel that allowed water intrusion and a roof panel that reportedly separated from the vehicle at highway speed. A single report mentions a persistent SOS inoperative warning tied to a telematics control unit issue following a battery failure. Given the low total complaint count, none of these rise to a clear recurring pattern.

By System
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE43 has 7 recalls, the most serious involving Continental tires that can develop a sidewall crack and lose air suddenly, or shed their tread at speed.
Water pooling in the spare tire well can damage the fuel pump control module and cause the engine to stall while driving. On the structural side, a front roof panel located between the windshield and panoramic sunroof can detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard; a prior repair attempt did not fully resolve this issue for all affected vehicles, which is why two separate recalls address it. The panoramic sunroof glass itself can also detach if the bonding primer used during assembly does not hold long-term. On the braking side, certain brake system components can reduce stopping performance. The automatic crash notification system, which contacts emergency services after a collision, can transmit incorrect location data and send responders to the wrong place.
