The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 has been commonly reported to have various issues with its engine, drivetrain, brakes, steering system, electrical system, and fuel system. Engine problems typically involve misfiring and going into limp mode, often related to issues with the engine wiring harness, ECU, or camshaft sensors. Brake problems are typically minor, but there have been reports of brakes failing at high speeds. In some instances, there have been simultaneous steering wheel seizures, which is related to the steering system. Power steering pump failure is also a common issue. Fuel leaks and fuel pump failure are other concerns for this vehicle, with potential risks of leakage onto the hot exhaust. Problems with the electrical system are often related to center console failures, while power loss is usually caused by other issues rather than the electrical system itself.
Some issues that may arise with the 2012 Mercedes S550 include malfunctioning headlights and taillights, defective brakes, and electrical problems.
