Can Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

What are signs my Mercedes-Benz drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercedes-Benz GLE550e, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mercedes-Benz GLE550e differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What causes a GLE550e’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your GLE550e can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can my GLE550e malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your GLE550e's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your GLE550e.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my GLE550e?

Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my GLE550e?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your GLE550e’s drivetrain.

Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
