Orange peel is normal, every car has it unless they’ve spent hours doing full paint correction. They have acceptable levels of orange peel and gloss that can be measured, if it’s within their specifications then they typically won’t do anything for you about it. If it’s excessively severe you can bring it up to the dealer and they may cover the cost of sanding/buffing it to an acceptable level. Years ago Cadillac/GM and Ford had a few models that were really bad, looked like a golf ball bad lol, but in those cases they’d actually send it to us at the body shop to have it corrected, it’s a lot of work to get that perfect flat show quality finish and in a production setting they won’t spend that much time on it for a mass produced model.

It’s Mercedes, they lowkey suck. As nice as they seem.

Hey Jaret! Coming from a GLE53 owner.. For the transmission: During the break-in period, this happened with our GLE53. It went away after the break-in period and has not happened since. Things to note with AMGs as well as ANY performance car, you'll definitely want to let the fluids in the motor as well as transmission warm up to optimal operating temperatures before doing anything wild with them. With our GLE53, C63S, Z4 35i, and X5, we try to always let them get to temp before anything sporty to ensure they are ready to go. On the Paint: Mercedes, BMW, Audi and yes... even Porsche have orange peel from the factory. Their orange peel is not as bad as Ford/Chevy for example...but it is still there. The only car I've seen come from the factory with no orange peel while also retaining a high level of paint quality is Rolls Royce...yes, you'd be surprised how bad Ferrari and McLaren paint quality is. With all of this being said, Mercedes has some of the best factory paint on the market when it comes to amount of paint as well as durability. Orange peel removal is worth it if you plan to keep the car unwrapped, but is very labor intensive/high cost as the shop will need to sand down the orange peel and then proceed with varying steps of polish to get it to a mirror finish. Another solution as you have shown in the video is wrapping the car a different color. Please note, depending on the film manufacturer you will have more or less orange peel...yes even on film especially when gloss. The other option would be to do a full body PPF using the highest quality PPF that displays less orange peel than what Mercedes finish has.

I have the 9G-tronic in E350d and when it was remapped, and later when the gearbox was serviced, it removes all the learned behaviour from the 'box. It takes a few hundred gear changes to recalibrate and until then can be a very lumpy, especially in the lower gears.

Had the same issue with the SL. Apparently there is a driving software that learns the driver. It shouldn't take that long, 60 miles or so. But you have to drive it in each mode, sport and ECO. Then the braking will smooth out. I thought it was the transition as well. 😆

Hello I had the same problem with 2nd gear on gle350, at the end the dealership replaced the gear box on warranty and had no problems since! Hope this helps. Great car btw!

I agree with you Jaret. You spend that kind of money on a Benz and it should be perfect.

As a manager of a professional powder company who does work for major car/lorry company's orange peel is most likely due to to much paint . Also you can get a tester to check this paint issue.

I have noticed the similar issue with my car too. Not obvious but yes. Thanks for your video!

Wow, that sucks dude. It's disheartening having to deal with these kinds of things on new cars from esteemed brands. Just don't settle for "this is normal" from the dealer and use your own judgement on what you think is acceptable or not.

We test drove this as well as the GLC and it wallows like a whale on corners. Gorgeous in every other way but the handling. The GLC Was pretty nice but its not roomy enough so we went to BMW and test drove the X4 which for less was better , however not keen on the boot space. In the end we ordered a X3 M40i instead.

Love the video, thanks for sharing. I been looking at Mercedes AMG. So hard to to keep looking when you see issues like this.

That transmission problem seems to happens on GLC ＆ C Class models, salesman say people complains about it,but still no way to fix it.🤔 My dad's GLC have that sound,but when it gets rolling, that sound decreased.

The issue is you guys need to warm up the engine pretty well abt 20 min then drive it but switch to 63 S you will love it guys there is some common issues but not with a Engine or Trans Be safe on the road with this type of cars ✌️

Based on my experience, all the 2020 and 2021 model GLA GLC GLE has this problem. They said it's normal but I recommend you take the car to the dealer right before the car's manufacturer warranty expires.

Hey Nice video. I noticed that the foot under the rear bumper was not working for you. Did you try directly under the tag? I have an E-class and thats where mines is. Also do you have the button in the door to open the hatch? if you do here is another trick: If you want someone to get something out of the back you can hit the switch to open the back so you dont have to get out of the car and go around the the rear to close it you can push the switch forward and that will close the rear from the driver seat. Also with the foot kick in the rear, the kick opens it and swipe from right to the left closes it too.

I owned a gle 450 with the hybrid eq boost and when I slow down, the car would downshift aggressively and regen braking would also kick in, which was very jerky. The transition to regen braking is not smooth. If you apply less braking pressure, does the kick down feel less severe? Regarding your alignment issue, I had the same on my 450. Not a huge deal but yeah would expect better from MB.

Thanks for the video content. Dude I agree with you about the orange peel. I bought a brand new 2021 GLC 43 AMG in white and it has the same thing. Totally agree if you buy an expensive car it should have a top notch paint work. Mine also came with a tiny dent on the right door, this was only noticed when I reached home. On the transmission jerking or jolt, yes this exists on most of the Mercedes-Benz models, we also have a C Class 220d rear wheel drive, it also has this issue (if you call an issue). Some says that only 4 wheel drive models have this jerking gear change (gear shift changing down).

Seems as though u r 95 % safe that the jerky transmission shift in 2 & 3 will go away with some mileage This does make sense with Adaptive Transmissions. Noisy drive belts are very common. They just need some lubrication. Keep a list of anything needing attention, and get your local dealer to sort these things.

Clay bars are used to remove fallout from the paint so you can do a paint correction & then use a PPF or ceramic coating lol. To get rid of orange peel you’ll need to sand down the entire vehicle with multiple grades of sand paper and then do a 2 step paint correction.

My customer’s gle53 amg sounds “wee wee wee” like yours when idling,checked with the master mechanic and he said that it’s totally normal because of the compressors and the break-in. I’d like to know more about it,he’s coming back next week for his second visit....

I have had many mercedes even have the new S580 now and all have orange peel. Comes standard on Mercedes. :) The hard downshift is the same on my GLE53 as well. I took it in and they changed up programing in the transmission and it helped... SOME. Keep auto start and stop turned off and helps as well.

The transmission will probably last the length of the warranty , it seams like it’s getting better , it’s just not as bad when the vehicle is at normal running temps tire !!

I have a 2016 glc43 and have the same problem, it does not get better. One way to replicate it is drive at 80 kph on 9th gear, then come to a complete stop. Imagine that you are driving, bumper to bumper at 80 kph and the lights turn red and everyone have to come to a stop. Another is to come to a stop while going down hill, you will feel it most then.

Yes, it's typical for Mercedes. You need to reset your gearbox 1, open your car, get in, foot flat on the gas 2, turn your ignition key twice (do not start the engine!) 3, hold the gas down for min of 30 secs 4, turn key off, release the gas 5, Drive immediately and it'll learn your driving style, not whoever has driven it before.

I’ve got a 2021 AMG 53 with 3400 miles on it and it shifted hard at first but it’s better

Have always been a fan and wanted an ML63, which is now the GLE63, but just couldn't afford one. The closest I got was a pre-owned ML550, which at the time of purchase, was already about 5 years old. It was a total gas guzzler but it was something that I wanted. They are beautiful and amazing cars to own but are also expensive and maintain. I will choose them over any other top of the line model from other makers.

@@StanleyChandy good luck and please feed us back with the dealership feedback. For me they told me they would record it and send it to MB for analysis but I’m pretty sure that would take forever

Hey I have this exact same issue GLE 53 2022 20 miles on it! It’s in the shop now

same issue, just bought the car 3 weeks ago, getting a bit better than the first week.

You mentioned about the floor in the garage. Why don't you go for "Racedeck" tiles, way cheaper than epoxy, super easy to install and much much harder wearing and easily replaced in the unlikely event you damage one of the tiles. Had mine for 9 years and they are bombproof and still look as good as new. I've dropped heavy tools on them and spilt fuel and hydraulic fluid on them during several bike builds and they just take the punches. Epoxy flooring won't. Aside from that, I thought the plan was to turn the second garage or outbuilding into the bike workshop/garage/showroom (as you stated in one of your first walkabout videos of the house), so you don't have to shoehorn them in front of the cars, every time, you want to ride them in or out.

Yes we are looking into that flooring as well. I do like the durability and traction you get from those. And the more I thought about it the more I realized we will pretty much always do a majority of the work on the bikes in Dado's garage...the sheer amount of tools and specialty products he has is very tough to duplicate and pretty much just unnecessary. So the idea now is to keep our garages more like showrooms with some tools to do small things if needed but that's it.

That's upsetting issues for an expensive vehicle, or ANY new vehicle for that matter. On a side note, can't fkn wait to see that tank installed on the bike!

Those super expensive vehicles like that will give all kinds of problems sooner or later there are just so many computers and electronics on it . The good news is you seem to get rid of them pretty quick you don't want to own one that is out of warranty for sure no matter how much money you have.

Hello my new E350 AMG coupe shunts a bit when it’s downshifting I think it’s just what they do mate an apple 🍏 green 👍🏻

Seems like a Friday car! I had it with two new identical chainsaws, one was epic and the other leaked and was rubbish, must have been built last thing on a Friday!

I also had the same jerky feeling from 2nd to 1st coming to a stop in a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. I've heard from the service guy that he saw like 6 to 7 out of 10 tacomas come back with the same complaint. I've also heard a lot of other trucks do the same. I got rid of the Tacoma b/c of this issue and got a 2020 Ram 1500 and it'll lag in the transmission at times when accelerating. It's a very common issue I think. My paranoid brain tells me it's foreign hackers messing with the manufacturing... Who knows?

haha yeah doesn't seem like these issues should be happening with brand new cars...doesn't make sense to me

I know I'm late to the party, but I own a 2022 GLE53 Coupe & I want to chime in. Believe it or not, this is still a fairly common thing. Yes, it's partially due to the break in period, but also due to the fact that the AMG speed shift transmission learns the way you drive and acclimates accordingly to give you a better driving experience. I also work as a sales consultant & marketing director for one of the highest volume MB dealers in the country & we receive AMG speed shift & 9 G-Tronic transmissions cars in on trade every day. For those who don't know, most of the Mercedes-Benz line-up shares the 9 speed G-Tronic transmission & nearly all AMG cars share the AMG speed shift transmission. Everything else has a DCT transmission. That being said, you can immediately tell how hard or soft the previous owner drove their car by the way the transmission reacts & shifts. Once the car is given the chance to learn new driving habits, aka purchased again, then the transmission will settle once again into its new owners driving habits. In regard to EQ-Boost, EQ Boost is a 48-volt system that powers the 12-volt battery, which is vital to the car running PERIOD. It's just a mild form of hybrid tech. On the bright & exciting side of things it gives you 21 instant HP & another 184insh lb-ft tq for the ZOOMS.
