Every aspect of the emissions system seems to have a typical lifetime of less than 80kmiles. At 70k half on my emissions system had been replaced under warranty. By 110kmiles everything but the DPF has been replaced under the 120k/10yr warranty. I’ve budgeted $3000 to do it again before I reach 200k miles.
Engine wise: thermostat, glow plugs, all vac lines related to turbo & emissions likely to fail every 100k. I also needed a new harmonic damper and a MAF not long after 100kmiles.
All my interior control buttons are shedding their black coating, every single piece of wood trim cracked/crazed before 77kmiles, hvac blower failed at 90k, seat airbag sensor failed at 70k ($1000 fix), tailgate latch just failed, rear view camera dying, pass seat functions are a bit flakey & it’s not the switches.
Front control arms (upper and lower) and tie rods worn out at 85kmiles.
These are generally very unreliable compared to Mercedes and any Japanese brand. For ten years a was a Ford guy and even those were much more reliable.
But I don’t mind paying as I like the way these drive and tow.
