Is 21 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2019 and 2024, roughly 4 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2019 has 21 complaints on file, more than the 2018 (20). Of the 3 model years of the Mercedes-Benz E300 we cover, the 2017 has the most (132). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
