This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

The contact owns a 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE300. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where unknown repairs were performed. The vehicle was repaired, and the contact was informed by the dealer that the vehicle could be picked up; however, the check engine warning light was still illuminated. The dealer kept the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with an unknown sensor failure. The contact then went to fuel the vehicle. The next time the contact was able to drive the vehicle, while driving 65 MPH, the accelerator was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond, and the contact was almost in a crash. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and drove 30 MPH to the job. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer diagnosed the vehicle with a contaminated fuel system.

The rise in the use of cell phones (texting,etc) while driving has been responsible for thousands of accidents all over the country. They create distractions for drivers but that is the sole responsibility of the driver. The problem with my car is one that is programed by Mercedes and involves the Sirius radio they installed in my car. The radio allows you to identify your favorite channels for easy access. However, the programming they have installed requires the driver to push 2 separate buttons to change a channel rather than a single button. This may seem petty on the surface, however, when you are traveling at 40-60 mph on a highway or busy local street with traffic lights looking for that second button on a touch screen with about 20 buttons, it does divert the driver’s attention for at least 3-4 seconds. No different than texting except that this is what Mercedes has programmed into the car. Very dangerous as I have already experienced. My car is one month old and this problem is a new feature. I know this because I also have another 2024 Mercedes that is 3 months old and is not programmed the same way. It requires only a single touch button to change the channel. Much safer. I am not aware of any other car on the road (ever built) that requires the pushing of 2 buttons to change the channel. I have brought this to the attention of my dealership and Mercedes directly. I was blown off by both as nothing is being planned by Mercedes to correct this. To me it seems to be a simple reprogramming of the radio system to what they had before. The danger should not be underestimated. To answer the questions posed on this site: my car is available for inspection; already explained the safety risk to myself and others; problem has been confirmed by the dealer and Mercedes directly; there are no warning lights for this problem until there is a collision due to driver distraction. Then I am sure all sorts of lights will come on. Problem needs to be corrected.
