They replaced it but also found out the reason it was getting off track was because of the panoramic shade that seems to get out of alignment when being manipulated. Overall, the fix to this problem was almost $4000.00 . I asked if there was any recall regarding this and they said no. I questioned why a part of the car that is rarely used has broken so easily and caused so much damage. My car has only 38K miles for a 2016 model. On my own research, I did find that Mercedes has recalled several thousands of cars with similar sunroof problems but my model car was not included. I wanted to reach out and report in case there are other similar reports that other people have come forward with. Thank you very much for your time.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"GLE63S","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11525853,"manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/03/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"06/07/2023","vin":"4JGDA5JB7GA","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"When driving, the vehicle suddenly slows down and then the brakes stop working.

THE CARS BEHIND ME HONK AND ATTEMPT TO OVERTAKE ME AND SLOW DOWN IN THE NEXT LANE TO WARN ME THAT MY GASOLINE DOOR IS OPEN (THEY DO NOT KNOW IT IS ELECTRICAL). I GET WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AND MINE IN THE HGHWAY .  WATER AND SNOW SEEPS INTO THE SOLENOID VALVE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET COVER OF THE CHARGING OUTLET. IT HAS GONE TO THE WORKSHOP THREE TIMES. THEY PRETTY  MUCH GAVE UP AND REFERRED TO MERCEDES. TWO WINTERS, THE VALVE IS FROZEN AND NON FUNCTIONAL. NON CLOSURE OF THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET MAKES GASOLINE OUTLET DOOR INOPERABLE. OCCASIONALLY, A DUCT TAPE HAS TO BE USED TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED AND GASOLINE FILLED.  INITIALLY, THE DEALER NOT KNOWING, I SUPPOSE, SUGGESTED I USE WD 40 SPRAY INTO THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET DOOR. I WAS RELUCTANT TO FOLLOW THIS MODE DUE TO FEAR OF ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT. LATER THE SOLENOID VALVE REPLACED WITH NO PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.   IT SEEMS, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE B CLASS ALSO AS PER THE LINK BELOW.   HTTP://WWW.MYBCLASSELECTRICDRIVE.COM/FORUM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?P=3927   MERCEDES NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS AND RECALL THIS MODEL UNTIL FIX. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, THE PRE CLIMATIC CONTROL IS NON FUNCTIONAL AND GIVES WARNING OF LOW HV BATTERY VOLTAGE.  THIS CAR IS PRETTY MUCH USELESS IN WINTER AS IT DOES NOT MEET ITS SPECIFICATIONS LISTED IN THE MANUAL.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"MERCEDES BENZ","productModel":"GLE550E","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11057226,"manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/20/2017","dateComplaintFiled":"12/28/2017","vin":"4JGED6EB5GA","components":"STRUCTURE","summary":"MY SUNROOF EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING.
