Mercedes-Benz E350 Problems

Brakes	This vehicle has sensotronic brake control (SBC). If the SBC light on the dash illuminates, have the brakes checked. If the SBC is not working, limited brake pressure is delivered to the front brakes, increasing the distance it takes to stop. The SBC hydraulic unit has a specific service life programmed into the control module; follow the manufacturer's recommended service procedure for proper maintenance of the SBC. Follow the two-year service interval for brake fluid flush.
Engine	The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing) tends to fail. The crankshaft position sensors tend to fail.
Suspension & Steering	Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil. Due to sticking relays, airmatic pump motors can fail, which causes the pump motor to constantly run. Because of the battery drain this causes, the pump will eventually fail or the battery will go dead when the car is shut off. Worn airmatic pump mount bushings can causes noises in the front axle while driving on bumpy roads or a buzzing noise. Rear air springs (bellows) may develop leaks, which causes the air pump to run more often to maintain ride height.
Drive Train	A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential. High mileage or older vehicles develop leaks at the differential seals and cover; the whole unit needs to be resealed to repair the leaks. The 7-speed automatic transmissions can have problems with internal component failure that cause rough shifting going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Mercedes released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled.
Electrical & Lights	Brake light switch failure can cause the ESP and BAS warnings to illuminate. The early versions of the central gateway module (which allows different systems to communicate with each other) have software problems. Lack of audio or cell phone functionality may be related to the failure of the audio gateway module. Water can damage the weight sensor in the front, passenger seat, causing the SRS (airbag) light to illuminate. There is an electrical component in the seat cushion susceptible to fluid damage, so dry up any liquid spills immediately. Many software updates are available for the different computer systems, but if the vehicle is out of warranty, it may cost money to receive the updates (unless it is a recall). Some updates may be dealer-only, but a well-equipped independent shop can usually provide updates as well.
Heating & Air Conditioning	A failed digital heater control valve can cause a lack of heat output from the climate control system.
