The contact owned a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450E 4Matic. The contact stated that while driving on the right shoulder of a two-lane road at 30 MPH, the vehicle's front passenger-side wheel went off the road into a drop-off by a few inches. The contact attempted to overcorrect, and in the process, the vehicle flipped and rolled over five times before coming to a stop. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to a local junkyard. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed.
I suspect in an attempt to deal with an earlier recall: [XXX] That Mercedes has introduced a new issue. This issue has to do with the vehicle software calling for the camera system to calibrate itself each time it is driven. The issue arises from the fact that the parameters needed to calibrate the camera system are not met as part of a normal driving pattern. The vehicle needs to be driven in a straight line for approximately a quarter mile.
Vehicle goes into Turtle mode with the error that says Performance Extremely Limited. It happens without any warning and has already happened 3 times right now. Last night (December 8th, 2024) it happened as my wife was merging into the freeway. All of a sudden, the power got cut out almost completely. The Check engine light turned on, the Turtle symbol came ON and the message Performance Extremely Limited came on.
