Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG transmission issue causing stalling and inability to shift from neutral on Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG

Some Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG owners report experiencing transmission issues that can lead to engine stalling and difficulties in shifting gears. This problem has prompted a recall of certain 2020-2023 GLE 450 vehicles due to a defect in the transmission control unit software, which may prevent the 9G-Tronic transmission from fully downshifting, resulting in stalling of the inline-six engine under specific driving conditions. Such stalling poses a significant safety risk, increasing the likelihood of a crash, making it crucial for affected owners to address this issue promptly. It is recommended that owners experiencing these symptoms contact a dedicated Mercedes-Benz dealer or a trusted mechanic for assistance.
