What are Some Common Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG® Problems?
Bad Differential
If the differential in your E 55 AMG® is leaking, it's likely from its seals or cover. This is a known issue for models from between 1999 and 2006 with 121,000 miles or fewer. You'll need to reseal the differential. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace it.
Defective Engine
If the engine in your E 55 AMG® cranks but won't start, or starts, but runs poorly, then most likely, its crankshaft position sensor has gone bad. This is a known issue for models from between 1999 and 2006 with 45,000 miles or fewer. You'll need to replace the sensor.
Faulty Brakes
If the Electronic Stability Control (ESP) and Brake Assist System (BAS) warning lights turn on in your E 55 AMG®, it's most likely because of brake light switch failure. This is a known issue for models from between 1999 and 2006 with 110,000 miles or fewer. The switch will need to be replaced.
