- 2014 E300 Bluetec Hybrid Estate
Hi,
Apologies if this post has been covered before, but I am a new member and I couldn't see a search facility on the forums.
My new E300 Hybrid finally arrived two days ago, after a 14 week wait, and I was thrilled with it right up to the point where it broke down yesterday!! I had left it in a car park and it just refused to start, showing the error message 'malfunction' with a battery symbol, which indicates a problem with the hybrid system. I left it for 1/2 hour, and by the time I came back it had fixed itself (temporarily or otherwise).
I have booked it in for a check-up at the local dealer, but I wondered if there had been reported issues with reliability of the hybrid system? A quick google search didn't turn anything up, but I don't want to find that I am a guinea pig for unproven tech which turns out to be unreliable. Not a great experience so far.
