Vehicle will flash warnings on dash the the blind spot assist in inoperative and the front passenger air bag malfunction.

My car was bought new in October 2021 & I began having problems after having it for 6 months & the mileage at that time was about 4000 miles - it was in April 2022 & the check engine light came on & I had a loss of power to where it slowed down & would not go any faster than about 30/35 miles an hour going on a straight road way & no faster than about 10 miles an hour going uphill. The engine sounded funny as well. It had to be towed to the dealership for repair. This incident happened again a month later & it was towed to the dealership at that time. The next incident just happened this month (mileage=6620) & again it was towed to the dealership for repair. Same scenarios all 3 times. This last incident, I was told that it is glitch & they don't really know what is causing my car to basically go into "limp mode"; however, they are awaiting a software update that they expect will resolve the problem, but they are not sure when it will be available for installation & did not give me a timeline. In the meantime, I was given back my car as I was the 2 other times without a resolution or security that my car is doing to make it to & from my destination. The car is still under warranty & just under a year old now. I was told by the dealership that they have no other customers complaining of this problem & they feel it is very isolated. I asked them to reach out to their corporate office in hopes of making a deal with me as I have lost all confidence in the car, but they reported h

The HVAC system has a very had odor that could impact our respiratory health, and giving us headaches when we drive. I wanted to share with you my current situation that I believe relates to the Mercedes HVAC Class Action Settlement (https://www.mercedeshvacsettlement.com/). My 2021 GLC300 Mercedes is experiencing exact same issues as described in the Mercedes HVAC Class Action Settlement even though the settlement only covers vehicle models up to 2019. I have been a loyal Mercedes customer for over 20 years and took in the vehicle 4 times to address the bad HVAC odor that occurs 3 to 4 times a day when I turn on the HVAC. It has a moldy, mildew-y, or similar odor emanating from the vehicle’s HVAC system. The dealership admitted they did smell the odor but there is nothing they can do to address it after they changed the air filters and cleaned the evaporator coil. I then escalated to MBUSA Escalation team to request a full refund or replacement based on the Arizona Lemon Law statute and they were of no assistance and completely denied my request stating that the vehicle is working as intended. I even went to a Lemon Law attorney and provided them all the 4 service documentation records showing that I took the vehicle in 4 times and evidence from dealership admitting that there is an odor from the HVAC for the same issue with no root cause or resolution to address the odor from the HVAC. The attorney passed on taking my case, which I believe is a good solid case. Do you have

Driving on I75 in Georgia using Distronic speed control. This system scans highway speed control signage and automatically adjusts the vehicle speed based on speed limit signs. Unfortunately the state of Georgia has deployed MINIMUM SPEED 40 signs alongside the highway that are identical in size and appearance to SPEED LIMIT signage. The next result is the car automatically dropping the current speed (say 70 mph) to 40mph with heart stopping effects, particularly in heavy traffic. Turning off the automatic speed control eliminates the problem. This is a major safety flaw that, left unfixed, will results in loss of life.

Sunroof glass panel exploded outward. Fabric retractable interior sunroof liner did contain all of the fragmented safety glass. No prior impact on or to the sunroof. If the interior fabric sunroof liner had been retracted, the interior of the vehicle would have been showered with the glass shards impacting the driver and all passengers. There was no warning. A loud sound similar to gunshot occurred as the sunroof failed. The vehicle was driven to a local windshield repair facility for examination. I contacted and notified Mercedes Benz USA of the incident. They have not done a follow-up as of this date. I contacted Mercedes Benz of Anchorage AK and will do a follow-up with that dealership on May 31 2022.

Excessive frame rust, the pictures I included are all the patches that have been done to the frame so far.

On day zero when I bought the car, it was raining. The new car wiper was shattering or making bumpy movements. It was not cleaning the heavy rain water or it was spotty. The Mercedes mechanic told it is a known issue and there is no permanent fix. They just changed the wiper blade and put solvent on windshield which may be good for few days/weeks and need to take the car everytime, I have this issue till I have warrantee. This is very annoying and safety issue in Houston rainy season. It can happen anytime in the middle of busy road and under rain.

Entered parked vehicle and noticed very strong gas fumes. Vehicle would not start. Looked under the vehicle and noticed very large quantity of gasoline on the ground. Vehicle was towed to Mercedes dealership in Rochester, Michigan. Diagnosis was an incorrectly installed fuel line bracket. New bracket was installed and problem was corrected.

Fuel line malfunctioned, car stopped , gasoline was pouring out from under the hood. I was "lucky" that it did not catch fire, fire department showed up, closed the street, car was towed, dealership " replaced high-pressure line of fuel system high pressure pump". It all started without a warning, suddenly after about 1 month of driving ( 1000 miles) a brand new Mercedes GLC300.

ON APRIL 21, 2021 AT ABOUT 1800 (TIME), LESS THAN 45-HOURS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE NEW 2021 GLC 300 VEHICLE, THE INTERNAL COMBUSTION (ENGINE) MISFIRED AND ABRUPTLY MALFUNCTIONED WHILE IN STEADY ACCELERATION AT 65-MPH. MY FAMILY AND I WERE HEADED EASTBOUND ON THE CA-60 FREEWAY IN LANE THREE (LEFTMOST, FASTEST LANE). AS SOON AS THE ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY SPUTTERED, IT ABRUPTLY STOPPED AND INTENSELY SHOOK THE ENTIRE CAR VIGOROUSLY, AGGRESSIVELY, AND CONTINUOUSLY WITH NO ABILITY FOR CONTROL NOR FOR THE OPTION TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE THREE CARS BEHIND MY VEHICLE ALSO ACCELERATING AT THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC (65-MPH) THAT ALSO ABRUPTLY SCREECHED TO A HALT TO STEER CLEAR OF MY UNUSUALLY MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE MOST TRAUMATIC EVENT THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN OUR LIFETIME. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE FEEL EXTREMELY FORTUNATE IN HAVING SURVIVED THIS HORRENDOUS, UNEXPECTED, AND CRUEL SAFETY RISK AS NO COLLISION WAS FORTUNATELY REPORTABLE. THE VEHICLE'S MALFUNCTIONING AND PERFORMANCE ISSUE HAD PLACED US IN AN EXTREMELY HIGH-RISK OF SAFETY CONCERNS AND NEAR MOMENTS FROM MY OR MY FAMILY'S HEALTH-RELATED TRAGEDY AS THE HALT OF NUMEROUS CARS WITHIN THE FREEWAY CLOSELY SWERVED-AWAY FROM OUR DIRECTION. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE ARE SEVERELY, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND MENTALLY DISTRAUGHT DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO THE 2021 GLC 300 ENGINE. AFTER 30-HOURS OF CONTINUED QUESTIONING, ANALYSIS AND DISCOVERY, IT WAS CONFIRMED OF VALVE TRAIN COMPONENT DEFECT

I HAVE PURCHASED THE 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC COUPE AND NOTICED A DESIGN FLAW ON THE CAR. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE ATTACHED PICTURE, THE FRONT BUMPER PROVIDES NO PROTECTION TO THE RADIATOR. IT HAS ALREADY STARTED CHIPPING DUE TO THE ROCK DAMAGE. THIS CAN LEAVE THE CAR IMPAIRED ON THE FREEWAY WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. I DID CONTACT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

THERE IS AN EXISTING ISSUE FOR MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES. SERVICE CAMPAIGN #2019040010. HOWEVER, IT ONLY INCLUDES 2019 MODELS. I PURCHASED A 2021 GLC MODEL AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE OF NOT HAVING THE PROTECTION ON FRONT RADIATOR. LOOKS LIKE MERCEDES-BENZ DIDNT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND KEPT MAKING VEHICLES WITH THE SAME DEFECT.
