What do you guys think....seems like these issues shouldn't be happening with a $100k car? Regardless we still do love this vehicle but we always want to keep it real with you guys as well. On a more fun note, what color do you think we should wrap the car? Or do we keep it glossy black?

[@kshithijsrinath]

You should try inozetek midnight purple!

[@loopsonloops7732]

Alignment should be free. Most manufacturers include 1 free alignment under 10k miles.

[@tomrockholm-timeless_morph6691]

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.

[@jpat99]

FYI, you can't remove orange peel with a clay bar/wax. Heavy Paint Correction maybe.

[@jmax.6587]

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

[@jztrombone]

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.

[@JaretCampisi]

Right on I've heard the same thing from a few other GLE53 owners so that makes me feel a lot better thanks buddy!

[@wburley06]

Thanks for the updates. Also, my Gle 53 will not active my Driver Assist/Lane Assist while in cruise control with a car in front. I select the DA option and nothing happens. I have 1k miles on it.

[@aroumani08]

Hey - you mention after the “break-in” like how severe was you problem? And when is the breaking in part done?

[@72MZE]

I have 11,500 miles on my GLE 53 and the jolt from 3 to 2 is just as prevalent from the day I picked it up new - I'm now in discussion with Mercedes HQ! They have had thousands of complaints about this particular issue on the 53 but have hidden in part behind the fact that it is ''normal'. It certainly is not.

[@ideal4634]

Pls don't do lights under the vehicle, it make the cars look cheap. Your can looks awesome as it is.

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. After a recent factory reset mine was banging into first and sometimes very jerky 3->2. Two weeks later... butter. Good luck, guys!

[@JaretCampisi]

Yeah a bunch of people have mentioned that and it does seem to be getting better as we put more miles on it

[@aroumani08]

Hey Jaret are you having this issue still? Any luck fixing

[@bp7178]

I'd have a good detail shop correct the paint and put a PPF on it. The black looks amazing. The transmission is a deal breaker. I'd make them fix that under warranty.

[@nialbarnsley4108]

Transmission problems on a $100k car, lol straight back to the dealer and give them the keys, full refund without a doubt

[@dandaniels4558]

Yeah thats more or less what I was saying in my post.ive known people that would be outraged and would take it right back and throw the keys on there desk and bitch them out to embarrass the hell out of them and probably tell them to call the head of the company and give them the phone. It would be something they would never forget believe me. Not saying that's the appropriate thing to do but that they would have the right to do it when paying that and more for anything. It's almost like China built it. Nothing good comes from China ever.

Ask for the history card jarret it follows the car from start of production to the end and then to the dealer. Its used to record any issues in the factory fitting or having to retro fit or swap out parts for being damaged or faulty or even wrong part fitted

[@phillove23]

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. 😆

[@benjamingalli21]

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.

[@hmcdonnell23]

I was going to mention finishing the garage floors a couple of videos ago, but you beat me to the punchline. Makes a huge difference cleaning and maintaining integrity of the overall look of the surface.

[@michgorscarlett3646]

As a car guy I love that you guys want so much out of the car lol. From listening to what you too have to say about the car, I think you need a Brabus version. I don’t think a normal AMG model will cut it for you

[@Kareem_Alcindor]

Even if you are not a car guy, expecting smooth or at least normal transmission feedback from a 100k dollar vehicle is absolutely normal. Cars far cheaper have no where near the remarked roughness. I'm not a fan of Campisi's morally vacant ways nor his channel in general but his desire on wanting a well functional car after shelling so much moolah is anything but being picky.

[@danielilk7120]

The orange peel is pretty normal nowadays, cause the restrictions in painting jobs got harder. Wrap it in silver/grey mettalic matt.

[@gulfblue]

Has anything been done to the exhaust of the amg gle 53? If so what changes?

[@alesta53]

1- It takes only 10 minutes for alignment of your tyres. Do it asap. 2- Push the dealer harder about transmission problem, it’s unacceptable. 3- You cannot get rid of orange peel with claybar and don’t wrap the car, go to dealer and request solution.

[@layser-focusedridingmore4288]

I hear you guys about the winter in PA. I just bought a brand new four wheeler with a plow so I can do my parents driveway. As you know I’m only like an hour away from you guys so we get the same weather. Problem is they’re really tough to find right now thanks to the ports not unloading things so I paid an arm and a leg for it but it was worth it. Well, for me it’s an arm and a leg. For you it’s probably like a happy meal price. LOL you guys rock keep me smiling. My mom was just diagnosed with a pretty bad cancer and I’m a wreck but these videos make me smile. Waiting for my monster to get done. 😎❤️

Have you ever had a problem when using the paddle shifters going from 1 to 2nd and it laggs to shift were it nose dives like if you were driving a manuel?

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!

[@RishavGhoshtechtips]

I'm just imagining how you guys are feeling after spending so much........ LOVE FROM INDIA!!!!

[@paullee9982]

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.

[@aprilgrant6608]

Wow…sorry to hear about the issue with the transmission. I have the GLE 53 AMG and I’m happy to report that I have not had this issue occur. I’m currently at close to 3k miles so hopefully I’m out of the woods. Thanks for the info.

[@bulldogdynastyuk4694]

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.

[@Blayda1]

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.

[@DaGn0528]

My parents had a GLC and did the same thing. I thought it was just the fact since it's an automatic and some more power than I've had in other automatic cars, but I guess it's a merc issue. I've seen bad orange peel on all Mercedes that we've had as well.

[@JaretCampisi]

such an odd thing to see on a high end mercedes

[@user-tb7hw5oc3u]

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.

I would keep it the same, no wrap because you trading it in next year. I believe every driver would notice wheel alignment pulling, especially on a new car. Salesman once told me "never purchase a car out of state and have it transported to you" for reasons you are experiencing now.

Hey I have the same exact car, and I absolutely love it. I know you guys were having a few issues, but im wondering if your car jerks when making a hard left or right turn. Whenever I make a full turn of the wheel the car jerks. Mercedes said this is normal and its the electronic system correcting itself or something along those lines. Just curious if you were experiencing the same issue?

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.

Mine happens more when the transmission temperature is around 82- 84 degrees Celsius , it is totally random but even now after 10000 km, it still happens time to time.

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).

[@ChadPedro]

Is this happening in sport+? It’s rev matching in a pretty harsh transition from 3->2 and on some occasions, upshifting from 1->2.

[@aroumani08]

Are you still facing these issues?

[@mydude4719]

Jaret, with the alignment, it may be the crown of the road causing you to pull to one side. I thought the same about my Tacoma after I installed my lift and got an alignment. I thought it came out of alignment and had it rechecked. Rule of thumb, if it only pulls sometimes, it may be the road. If it's all the time, it may be the alignment. Just a thought.

Don’t wrap it It looks great Get it clay barred, and PPF it. As per all the other comments, Orange Peel is normal. 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.

2018 eClass…That’s because it’s not a DCT.

[@militar1945]

I have the same problem with automatic gear 3 to 2 and manual (2500 turns) 7 to 6

[@hyperrhino9258]

There is a reset process for the torque convertor since it has sensors in the TC. It is learning your method of driving and it is rough at first. The paint is annoying for sure. Don't wait on the alignment... you will torture your run-flats and those usually don't last long anyway.

Roger that thanks buddy!

When does coil spring becomes shocks?

[@negour]

Do you feel a tapping sound on the steering wheel when you press the brake fully while driving? This happens when you pass the bumper through the road or slow down to the parking. It seems something is loose inside the steering shaft or steering column Has anyone experienced this problem? My car is Gle 450 , 2022

$100k with Trans problems, orange peel and out of alignment. So spend more on a wrap to protect the orange peel paint, ok go it 👌

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?

[@JaretCampisi]

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

[@Jay_Michael]

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!

[@JaretCampisi]

oh dude just wait for our next video!

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.

Beware- if you are hearing wind noise coming in your cabin from the roof and or windshield area, it could be a bad install of the front roof panel from factory. I have pictures of the front roof panel blown/ripped off my GLE43 AMG Coupe

[@LeslieRC]

Enjoyed the video, except I was unable to finish it because I turned every time you said $100K into a drinking contest!😃

[@marty4933]

Love to see the car in a satin steel blue. Not hot pink! Also, I would like to see an update of the house. Do you do your own garden maintenance?

[@JaretCampisi]

haha nah we have a company that does all our landscaping it would take us way too long to do

[@pauljohnstone9899]

You need a stage one or two paint correction regardless if you do wrap or not

[@ilocanodetoy2225]

Wow this video helped me a lot on deciding between this car and BMW X6.

[@maadalnaama9026]

The jolt is normal, when i took delivery of my C class it did the same exact thing for like the first month until the transmission adapted to my driving style. It’s a normal Mercedes thing

[@justinjonesonline]

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.

[@imankhan1874]

NO WAYYY!!!??? Colour changing for the WINN JARET!!! I think its called Chameleon or Hologram wrap 🥳🥳

[@maryblackman7285]

Mine did the jolt thing too, and still does I have 32k miles now. Purchased my 2021 amg gle 53 coupe brand new as well.

[@JaretCampisi]

take it in and have them reset the adaptive learning software on the transmission...it def helped ours so far
