    Remote Windows

    Hello all. Can 2014 owners try the remote windows down function? MB USA customer service says my car has this function. The dealership says “no passive entry, no remote windows.”

    Remote Windows

    Hello. Are you able to roll your windows down with your key-fob? I stood close to the driver side, pushed and held the unlock button. The doors unlocked but the windows didn’t go down. I replaced the remotes battery...still nothing. What gives?

    MB/Tesla Motor replaced

    Hello all. It’s almost been a year since I’ve owned my BE. Smelled coolant while at a stop. Took it in and I was told it’s leaking coolant and will need a new Drive unit. This will be the 3rd replacement. This has happened to all 4 units the car has had. I’m only at 25k. I didn’t want to...

    My Mercedes Electric shutting down May 31, 2019

    Sounds silly but I hope they don’t “do away” with the “certified technicians” that are assigned to this vehicle.

    Malfunction visit workshop display message

    Just my two cents but when this happened to my car two things triggered that message. One was that I’d plugged in first prior to plugging into the wall at home. The second time, my dealership found that I had a couple missing connectors inside the plug. Once it was replaced the message went...

    Ownership Rant

    I’ve owned my BED for almost a year. I really enjoy driving the car. It can be an attention grabber at times and always seems to happen when I’m in a rush. People are really curious and surprised that’ it’s an EV. But overall so far a great car. What I don’t like is the “support” for EV...

    Lurching

    While at a stop does your car lurch forward? Is this normal?

    Day one. :(

    **Update** I got the back and the Malfunction gremlin is no more. The dealership said the cause was from the charge plug. There were a few connectors inside that were broken off and missing. I never noticed or thought to check. The message would happen after charging the car. I have a...

    Day one. :(

    Jeff, Got the car back from Mercedes and they said that it had something to do with the plug for the charger. They said that the male, female part connection triggered the message. My charger was new. I was told updates were done and yesterday, guess what?? “Malfunction, visit workshop.”...

    Day one. :(

    All I got the car back and I have another question. Charge the car this morning at work and it charged to 94 miles. Drove home, 8 miles and when I looked, 71 miles. I even scored 89% on the eco meter. Does that sound normal? Mind you, it was 100 degrees and I was running the AC at 72...

    Day one. :(

    Well, got a call from the dealer. They said that the car will need an “electronic drive motor” which has to come from Germany. 3 to 4 weeks. I’m not sure what that is. Have anyone else have one replaced? I want to thank you guys for educating me on this car.

    Day one. :(

    Went out this morning and found this message: “Malfunction visit Workshop” with two sprockets. So far they’ve told me that they found “codes” *sigh* The car started and drove... More to come.

    Rear Head rests

    “Holy Schnikes!” That worked! While pushing the button I gave it three good hammer fists and it went flush! Thank you!

    Rear Head rests

    Question, Is there a trick to getting the rear headrests to go down completely? Flushed with the back seats? I’ve pushed the button and it stops with about an inch and a half to go. It will go all the way up but not down. I’ve found nothing in the manual. It’s annoying having “E.T.” Blocking...

    Battery Warranty on Used Cars

    Group, Can someone explain how the EV battery warranty “works”? Is it once the original manufacturers warranty has expired will the warrantee for the hybrid battery continue at that point? What I’ve found online for the B Class, 8/100000 miles. Would that be correct?

    Filiters

    All, I found out through MBUSA that the "Desiccant Filters" haven't been changed or done on the car at all. Is this something you would say is really necessary? Will it degrade the battery faster if it hasn't bee done? Have you had it done??

    Mile Meter vs Miles

    Hello. I've read that multiple things come into play when watching the battery mile meter (weather, driving style, hills, Hvac) What's deemed "normal"? I drove a used base,24k on it, started with 63 miles on the gauge. Total of about 8 miles, AC on and highway driving included. Got back to...
