Conclusion
Common Problem
Starting Issues
One reported issue involves the car not starting, where the brake pedal feels locked and cannot be pressed. This could be due to a vacuum assist problem in the braking system. The brake light switch must detect that the brake pedal is pressed for the car to start, and a lack of vacuum can make the pedal feel stiff, requiring more effort to press.
Headlight Condensation
Foggy headlights are a common issue, particularly with LED lights on Mercedes vehicles, including the E-Class. This is often due to compromised seals around the headlight housing or missing service covers at the rear of the housing. Fixing this may involve resealing the headlight or replacing the assembly if the issue persists.
Reliability Concerns
The 2021 E-Class, part of the W213 platform, has been noted for its complexity, especially with newer engine designs incorporating features like a 48-volt electric motor. While some owners report minimal issues, others mention problems such as brake noise and potential timing chain issues with certain engines.
Intermittent Electrical Issues
Dealership technicians have noted intermittent electrical issues in newer models, including the E-Class, which are challenging to diagnose due to random communication errors. These issues often lead to software updates and module replacements without a clear resolution, frustrating both customers and technicians.
General Reliability and Recalls
The 2021 model year has seen several recalls and reports of reliability issues, particularly with electrical systems. Some users note frequent visits to the dealership for various problems, while others highlight the aggressive recall strategy by Mercedes, addressing even minor issues. Despite these concerns, the W213 platform is generally considered well-sorted compared to earlier models.
