2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class 4-DR w/SAB

The contact owns a 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350. The contact stated that fuel was present leaking from the rear passenger’s side of the vehicle onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000.

On September 20, 2021, my steering wheel locked will driving into shopping center in Stockton, CA., I called AAA towing service to tow my car to Mercedes-Benz of Stockton for repairs. I'm glad to say no one was behind me while driving. It locked without any notice, near by customers to the center pushed my car to safety. Thank you.

Two fuel tank leaks that are a fire hazard. First one was around fuel pump, cracks in plastic flange. Had repaired with a sealant. Recently another leak around the filler tube. Leak around passenger side rear wheel when filling tank. Strong smell of gasoline if not completely filled to cause leak. I would think a dangerous fire hazard. I see recalls for other year models, but not 2010, even though basically identical.

The contact owns a 2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350. The contact called for the owner of the vehicle who stated that the vehicle was beginning to wobble while driving. The contact stated that he worked for a dealer where a certified mechanic observed the vehicle and diagnosed that the control arms were severely rusted and not seated correctly on the vehicle causing the rear subframe to be severely damaged and needing replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage 79,308.

String gas smell from under the car, found the fuel pump cover cracked and seal faulty

Lately, everytime I filled up the gas tank, I can smell gas from the rear left area. After some time when the tank is maybe a little over half the smell is gone. I assume there is a leak somewhere from the fill pipe to the tank. Maybe a bad rubber connector, gasket/seal failure? The vehicle has never been involved in any crash. Normal usage. Low mileage. Should this be covered by MB warranty at no cost to the owner? Thank you.

PLASTIC SEAL ON GASKETS FOR GAS TANK FAILED ON BOTH SIDES OF CAR. CAUSES LEAKING OF FUEL AND ODOR INTO PASSENGER AREA OF VEHICLE AND DANGER OF EXPLOSION DUE TO LEAKING FUEL. IT OCCURS WHEN GAS TANK IS MORE THAN 3/4 FULL TO FULL OF FUEL.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY MERCEDES GLK 350 WITH FUEL THERE IS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN MY GARAGE AFTER I PARK THE CAR. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK OF FUEL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR OR NOTIFICATION OF ANY ISSUE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE STRONG FUEL ORDER GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AND BURNING OFF A GALLON OR SO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE THAT STARTED FEW WEEKS AGO AND IS OF A BIG CONCERN TO ME AND TO MY FAMILY.

ON A HOT HUMID DAY ON JULY 21, 2019 AFTER DRIVING FOR 70 MINUTES OF MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILEAGE, THERE WAS A STRONG GAS SMELL AS I EXITED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR.

I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $1250 (LABOR AND PARTS INCLUDED) FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF NEW FUEL FILTER. I WILL UPLOAD RECEIPTS AS SOON AS THE JOB IS COMPLETED (I AM WAITING FOR THE WORK TO BE COMPLETED AS I TYPE THIS REPORT).

OUR CAR HAS DEVELOPED A SERIOUS FUEL LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR. WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY, OR NEAR CAPACITY, A SERIOUS GASOLINE ODOR DEVELOPS. THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN WE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM, OUR ENTIRE HOME BECAME ENGULFED IN THESE FUMES AND WE HAD TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND PUT IT OUT ON THE STREET. ALSO, WHEN WE MOVED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WE NOTICED GASOLINE WAS DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR AND FORMED TRAIL OF GAS ALL THE WAY OUT INTO THE STREET. THE LEAK IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL FILTER/FILTER HOUSING. THIS PARTICULAR PART IS WHAT WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED BY MERCEDES BENZ IN THE 20011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS. OUR CAR IS A MODEL YEAR 2010, BUT IT HAS THE SAME FUEL FILTER (PART #2214700390 FROM AUTOHAUS AZ)) AND IF YOU SHOP FOR A NEW ONE, YOU CAN SEE IT IS THE SAME FOR THE YEARS 2010 THRU 2012. THE FUEL FILTER IS AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND CAN EASILY BE REPLACED BY REMOVING THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, THE ODOR AND FUMES AT TIMES WILL ENTER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, AND IF THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, LEANING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, I AM SURE GAS CAN TRAVEL ACROSS THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND OVER THE HOT EXHAUST.

EXTREMELY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN TANK IS FILLED, MERCEDES BENZ RECALLED 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEAR GLK350 VEHICLES FOR A FUEL LEAK BUT DID NOT RECALL MODEL YEAR 2010 GLK350 VEHICLES. THE SAME RECALL IS NECESSARY FOR MODEL YEAR 2010 GLK 350 VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE IS A MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP IN RALEIGH, NC ON CAPITAL BLVD BECAUSE IT WILL NOT START. THERE'S A STEERING LOCK PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS IS COVERED FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL (STARTED JAN 25, 2019) BEING IT'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME AS THE OTHER VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS AT CAPITAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULDN'T START. CAPITAL CHEVROLET SAID THAT THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE. I WAS TOLD THE COST IS ON ME. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THERES A RECALL ON MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VEHICLE WHICH IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THIS VERY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND MYSELF AND MY GRANDCHILDREN COULD LOSE OUR LIVES IF IT HAPPENED WITH US WHILE OCCUPYING THE VEHICLE, WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECALL AND OUR LIVES?

TODAY I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE, FEB 2019, CHANGING IT FROM A NHTSA RECALL TO A MBUSA RECALL # 2019010001 - PHASE 4, WITH NO EXPECTED PARTS DATE, BUT THEIR WEBSITE SAYS SEP 2019. THIS RECALL WAS ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO AND MERCEDES BENZ SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET. WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT CONSIDER A "REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME"? MERCEDES BENZ IS MAKING AND SELLING CARS EVERYDAY WITH OK AIRBAGS. WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE EVERYDAY WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT MAY CAUSE A DEATH AND ALLOW MERCEDES BENZ TO PUT THIS OFF?.

TAKATA AIRBAGS, PRIORITY GROUP 6: I BELIEVE MERCEDES BENZ IS DRAGGING ITS FEET IN MAKING THESE REPAIRS. I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS DATING BACK TO 2017. EACH ONE PROVIDES A DATE WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THE DATES COME AND GO. THE LAST DATE PROVIDED WAS TO BE SEPTEMBER 30, 2018. WHEN I CALLED MB TODAY, THEY TOLD ME THE DATE HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2019! THAT IS ONE YEAR AWAY. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND COMPLETE THESE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK THE CAR SMELLS AND LEAKS GAS. HOWEVER, THE LEAKS STOPS AFTER FEW HOURS. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MERCEDES REPAIR SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THEY NEED TO CHANGE A UNIT AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MERCEDES. AFTER SPENDING $450, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK A MONTH LATER. NOW, THEY ARE SAYING, I NEED TO CHANGE ANOTHER FUEL UNIT WHICH WILL COST ME AN ADDITION $650!

I CANNOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHEN THEY INTEND TO REPLACE THEM. THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, AND ARE EVASIVE WHEN YOU QUESTION THEM. MOREOVER THE PERRILLI TIRES ON MY CAR ARE CONSTANTLY GOING FLAT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 13 TIRES. AND MY CAR HAS ONLY 44,000 MILES. THEY BLOW UP WHILE I AM DRIVING...IT'S NEVER A SLOW LEAK.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CALLED THE ORLAND PARK, ILL DEALER REPEATEDLY & AM TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART. AS MY HOME IS UP FOR SALE & I HOPE TO MOVE TO HOT SPRINGS, ARK, I WOULD LIKE THIS RECALL REMEDIED ASAP. THANK YOU.

I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS EFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL IN 2017. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES LATELY SAYING MY REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN MARCH 2018 THEN CHANGED TO SEP 2018. IT HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED TO SEP 2019. MY PRIORITY GROUP WAS CHANGED FROM 4 TO 6. HOW LONG DO THEY NEED.

TAKATA RECALL - MERCEDES BENZ HAS REPEATEDLY PUSHED THE DATE BACK FOR THE REPAIR ON MY VEHICLE, WHICH IS HOUSED IN "ZONE A" (CALIFORNIA) AND IS THE OLDEST MODEL YEAR THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED (2010 GLK 350). DESPITE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM TO GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DELAY AND MY RISK OF INJURY, THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

TAKAYUKI RECALL. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY MERCEDES BENZ (MB) OF THIS RECALL BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MB HAS SENT ME MULTIPLE DATES FOR THE RECALL FIX BUT HAVE ALWAYS EXTENDED THOSE DATES. THE LAST FIX DATE WAS SEPT 2018 BUT THEIR RECALL WEB SITE NOW STATES THE FIX DATE IS SEPT 2019. THIS IS 3 YEARS PAST NOTIFICATION AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE OR SELL THIS CAR DUE TO IT BEING UNDER THIS RECALL. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM AND ADVISED THEIR CUSTOMERS NOT TO DRIVE THEIR CARS UNTIL THEY WERE FIXED. I CONTINUE TO HAVE TO RELY ON MY CAR AS I AM NOW RETIRED AND HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. 3 YEARS OF DRIVING A CAR THAT THE SALES MANAGER FOR MERCEDES BENZ CALLED A "DEATH TRAP" IS 3 YEARS TOO LONG. WHY HAVE OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS COMPLETED THEIR RECALL AND NOT MB? DO I HAVE TO DIE BEFORE I GET THIS RECALL FIXES? WHAT IS THIS AGENCY GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS REDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK350. WHILE FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, FUEL LEAKED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT EITHER THE FUEL PUMP OR THE TANK WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 91,574.

TAKATA RECALL, I AM TRYING VAIN TO GET THIS SERIOUS ISSUE FIXED BUT THE DEALERS ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN'T AND THAT TAKATA IS WAY BEHIND IN SUPPLYING THE DEALERSHIPS AIRBAG REPLACEMENTS. IN THE MEANTIME IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT I COULD BE KILLED. THE DEALERSHIP IS TAFEL MOTORS IN LOUISVILLE KY.

I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AND NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AS SOON AS I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER BEING IN THE HOUSE APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS, THE SMELL OF GAS FILLED THE HOUSE. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE AND IT CREATED A TRAIL OF GAS INSIDE THE GARAGE. MBUSA REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR AND ALSO REFUSED TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS ISSUE WHEN I REQUESTED MORE INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER REFERRAL REPRESENTATIVE. I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S NOT SAFE TO JUST HAVE FUEL BEING TRAILED UP AND DOWN HIGHWAYS AND EVERYONE IS UNAWARE. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN BE FINED FOR ENDANGERING PEOPLE.

TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAGS

TAKATA RECALL - FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MERCEDES BENZ-HONOLULU REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AS PER THE RECALL NOTICES I RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS FROM MERCEDES-BENZ USA. EACH TIME, I AM TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. RECENTLY, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE RECALL NOTICE FROM ME AND TELL ME THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED. UPON FURTHER INSISTENCE, I WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT THE PART IS NOT IN AND THE NOTICES ARE BEING SENT BY MERCEDES USA AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS. THEREFORE, THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ETA BECAUSE NEWER VEHICLES ARE THE PRIORITY AND AT THIS TIME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS.

THERE IS A VERY STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM REAR LEFT PASSENGER TIRE AREA WHEN TANK GETS COMPLETELY WITH GAS. I NOTICED THE SMELL AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND BRINGING THE CAR HOME TO PARK IT IN MY GARAGE.THE GAS SMELL IS SO STRONG, IT LEAKS INTO THE HOUSE (VIA ATTACHED GARAGE).

TO DATE WE HAVE NO REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR.

WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. TO DATE WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT REMEDYING THIS PROBLEM.

WE NEED A SAFE VEHICLE FOR OUR DAILY NEEDS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS

TAKATA RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS NOW AND I FEAR RISKS TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS MIGHT BE INCREASING. EITHER TK HOLDINGS SHOULD PROVIDE THE REPAIR PART OR MERCEDES SHOULD AS THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DO WHAT THEY CAN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.I THEREFORE WANT A RESOLUTION VERY SOON, THERE HAS BEEN TOO MUCH DELAY.

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALLED AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED YET IN OVER A YEAR.

TAKATA RECALL. MBUSA CLAIMS IT CANNOT PROCURE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK. MBUSA WILL NOT TELL ME WHEN IT MIGHT SCHEDULE THE RECALL WORK. I LIVE IN HOUSTON AND IT'S HOT DOWN HERE. I THOUGHT HOT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WERE TO RECEIVE PRIORITY ATTENTION.

TAKATA RECALL ....AS OF 10/25/2017 THERE IS NO RESOLUTION, YET MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED TWO TIMES, ONCE ON 2/11/2016 AND THE OTHER TIME 5/25/2016.

TAKATA RECALL - MERCEDES JUST STONEWALLS. ONE OF THE TWO RECALLS ( BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER ARE RECALLED) IS GOING ON TWO YEARS YET I HAVE RECEIVED NO ADDITIONAL INFO. ALL I AM TOLD WHEN I CALL IS THAT THEY ARE WAITING ON PARTS AND WILL GET TO IT "AS SOON A POSSIBLE". I LIVE IN DALLAS, TX. HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MERCEDES HAS ONLY REPLACED LESS THAN 2% OF THE RECALLED AIRBAGS: THE LOWEST % OF ANY MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL: YEARS AGO I WAS CONTACTED BY MAIL TO NOTIFY MY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID YOUR PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN THEY ARRIVE. NO CALL. A YEAR LATER SAME THING. CALL THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO REPLACE YOUR AIR BAGS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE THEM REPLACED. CALLED ONLY TO BE TOLD.... THE PART HAS NOT ARRIVED YET. NOW IT HAS BEEN OVER 3 YEARS AND THEY SAY..... THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER!!! MERCEDES OF ORLANDO (MAITLAND) SPOKE WITH LYNN. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM AN ATTORNEY STATING THERE IS A LAW SUIT STARTING UP REGARDING THIS SITUATION. I WILL PERSONALLY BE CONTACTING HIM. ALSO IF I OR MY FAMILY IS SERIOUSLY INJURED I AM HOLDING MERCEDES OF ORLANDO RESPONSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL- RECV'D NOTICE THAT PART WAS AVAILABLE TO FIX, WAS TURNED AWAY BY SERVICE DEPARTMENTS STATING THE PART IS STILL PENDING. I HAVE 2 DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND THIS IS TRANSPORTATION THAT IS USED BY MYSELF TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR THESE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. WE WANT TO PASS THIS CAR DOWN TO MY TEENAGE SON TO START DRIVING, BUT ARE UNABLE TO DO SO WITH THE LACK OF SAFETY. PLEASE RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ASAP!

TAKATA RECALL I AM UNABLE TO OBTAIN FAIR MARKET VALUE ON MY VEHICLE WITH A TRADE-IN DO TO THE RECALL AND LACK OF A SOLUTION.

ZT MOTORS, FT. WALTON BEACH, FL, WILL NOT ORDER THE PARTS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH THIS RECALL. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS VEHICLE ON A TRADE FOR A NEW VEHICLE WITHOUT THE RECALL REPAIR. SO I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT NEEDS A RECALL REPAIR UNLESS I PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS A TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING MY GLK 350 ON A ROAD AT 35 MPH AND SUDDENLY MY STEERING WHEEL GOT STUCK AND IT WASN'T MOVING I HIT THE BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. I COULDN'T MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AND I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT DIDN'T STARTED. I CHECKED MY BATTERY IT WAS GOOD. I LOOKED ONLINE WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR GLK 350 AND ONLY MERCEDES CAN FIX IT SO I HAVE TO TOE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT COSTED ME $1850 IT'S JUST A WAY FOR THEM TO MAKE MONEY BUT IT COULD HAVE GOT ME INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT DAY

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES FROM MERCEDES BENZ IN 2016. AS OF TODAY, 9/11/2017, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A NOTICE TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPLACEMENT. ARE MANUFACTURERS ALLOWED TO NOT FULFILL THE RECALL FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR?

ACCELERATION/BRAKE ISSUE. ON 09/0517 I PULLED INTO MY PARKING LOT APARTMENT COMPLEX AND UPON PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT, I ATTEMPTED TO BACK MY 2010 MERCEDES 2010 GLK350 TO ALIGN MY CAR. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, BUT SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACKWARDS AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON MY DASHBOARD IT DISPLAYED "CHECK BRAKE PADS". I PURCHASE THIS CAR ON 08/16/17 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS (2) SAFETY RECALLS FOR 'TAKATA" AIRBAGS. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN MY 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK350 IS ALARMING AND CONCERNING.

"GAS LEAK AND STRONG ODOR" HAVE A GAS LEAK WITH STRONG GAS SMELL AND MERCEDES STATES MY VIN NOT PART OF THEIR RECALL. THIS IS ABSURB AND SUCH A SLAP IN THE FACE TO ALL MERCEDES OWNERS! WE SPEND MORE THAN THE AVERAGE THINKING WE ARE GETTING QUALITY, SAFETY AND RELIABILITY, BUT INSTEAD JUST THE OPPOSITE. I AM SOOOO DISAPPOINTED IS THE WAY THIS IS BEING HANDLED AND MERCEDES SEEMS TO THINK IT'S NOTHING. OUR LIVES ARE AT RISK NOT TO MENTION TO HEALTH ISSUES. I HAD TO GO TO THE ER FOR AN INHALATION INJURY FROM THIS AND ALL THEY CAN SAY IS MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL...WOW..UNBELIEVABLE.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2010 MERCEDES GLK TO MY LONGTIME MECHANIC, KEVIN BRADY OF BRADY'S AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR IN LAGUNA NIGUEL FOR SERVICE AND A SMELL OF GAS VAPOR IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE FOUND A FRACTURED PLASTIC COVER PLATE AS PART OF THE FUEL FILTER SYSTEM UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE WHERE YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE FUEL HAVING SOAKED THE EXTERIOR OF THE COVER PLATE. KEVIN REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH WITH OEM PARTS AT A COST OF $282.60. UPON FURTHER REVIEW I FOUND A SIMILAR COMPONENT FOR WHICH THE COVER PLATE BELONGS TO AS SUBJECT TO RECALL 12V557000. THE RECALL IS FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PART RECALL CALLED FOR CAUSING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2011 MODEL RECALL . MY MODEL IS JUST ONE YEAR PRIOR TO THE REFERENCED RECALL. IT APPEARS MERCEDES'S DEFECTIVE PART IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAN THE PREVIOUS RECALL LET ON. FUEL AND VAPOR SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE PASSENGER CABIN. I RETAINED THE DEFECTIVE PART FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION. I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ ABOUT THE ISSUE. I OFFERED TO ALLOW THEM TO EXAMINE THE PART AND ASKED FOR A REIMBURSEMENT OF MY $282.60 (I DID NOT CONDITION THE EXAMINATION ON THE REIMBURSEMENT). THEY REFUSED AND GAVE ME A CORPORATE LEGALESE RESPONSE. SO I TURN TO YOU FOR HELP. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WARMER OVERHEATING WHEN TURNED ON VERY HOT TO TOUCH AND CAUSING SMOKE IN CABIN.

AFTER ONLY 7 YEARS OF OWNING THE 2010 MB GLK 350, BOTH THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $3000.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. THIS CAN PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU ARE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE IN HIGH SPEEDS; THE ENGINE MAY SHIFT AND BOUNCE ABOUT SO VIOLENTLY THAT VARIOUS PARTS WILL FLY OFF. CONDITION MOSTLY SEEN IN HIGH MILEAGE CARS.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL IS FAR TOO SLOW. IT IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ITEM, AND IT IS MORE THAN A YEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL KNOW. NHTSA MUST COMPEL TAKATA AND THE CAR MANUFACTURERS TO INCREASE PRODUCTION OR OUTSOURCING OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THIS IS SHAMEFUL ON THE PART OF NHTSA, TAKATA AND THE AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS. ALL AIR BAG INFLATORS SHOULD GO TO THE RECALL, AND NONE TO NEW VEHICLES UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED..

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE MADE MANY REQUEST TO MECEDES BENZ USA TO REPLACE MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS DONE.

TAKATA RECALL....WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THIS VEHICLE'S RECALL BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN FEBRUARY 2016. TO DATE WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTICE THAT A REMEDY FOR REPLACEMENT EXISTS TO EVEN SCHEDULE THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY AIRBAG. TEN MONTHS SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME TO WAIT FOR THIS WORK TO BE DONE.

INFORMED THAT MERCEDES IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED MANY DURING WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT NOW SINCE MY WARRANTY IS OVER THIS SAFETY REPAIR WILL COST ME IN EXCESS OF 3,000.00.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO MERCEDES AND NO RESPONSE TO FIXING THIS PROBLEM. I CHECKED MY VIN AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL A PART OF THIS RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

"TAMARA RECALL" I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT HAPPEN YET, BUT WAS JUST IN AN ACCIDENT AND LUCKY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. I'M EXTREMELY NERVOUS DRIVING MY CAR NOW, AND MERCEDES IS CLAIMING THEY ARE NOT A PART OF THIS RECALL SINCE THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY INCIDENTS REPORTED. I AM JUST LOOKING TO GET A RENTAL CAR, UNTIL THIS IS FIXED AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANSWERS FROM MERCEDES; BESIDES DENYING THAT MY CAR HAS A RECALL WHEN IT CLEARLY DOES. THEY MAY NOT HAVE ANY INCIDENTS YET, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE FIRST.

TAKATA RECALL .TWO AIRBAGS DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDES. POTENTIALLY CAN EXPLODE SPONTANEOUSLY AND CAN SEVERELY INJURE OR KILL DRIVER AND PASSENGER. STILL DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION. AS A CONSUMER, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL AND HEADQUARTERS MERCEDES BENZ SEVERAL TIMES AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM MBUSA REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE. THE VERY WEEKEND I WENT TO OPEN ROAD MERCEDES IN BRIDGEWATER, NJ. THE SERVICE TEAM SAID THERE IS NO ETA FOR REPLACEMENT AND COULD BE UP TO 2 YEARS. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO CHECK OUT PRE- OWNED VEHICLES AND REACHED A DEAL THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND WITH THE SALES TEAM WITH A TRADE IN VALUE AND PROVIDED DOWN PAYMENT.. THE MANAGER OF THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HIS SALES WAS WORN IN THEIR ESTIMATE AND HE NEEDS TO REDUCE THE TRADE IN VALUE BY 3700 $ DUE TO THE AIRBAGS. THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE AT FULL PRICE, CANNOT FIX IT FOR 2 YEARS BUT WANT TO REDUCE THE PRICE FOR TRADE IN. MBUSA NEEDS TO EITHER FIX IT TIMELY OR GIVE FAIR TRADE IN VALUE FOR A FAULT THAT WAS DUE TO MBUSA. THE DEALERS ARE BLEEDING THE OWNERS OF DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND TAKING ADVANTAGE.

"TAKATA RECALL' IS THE CURRENT TOP CONCERN TO DATE WITH MY CAR. I WAS SOLD A USED LEMON & WOULD NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER MERCEDES BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE . I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015~ IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES. SOME VISITS THE CAR WAS THERE FOR 2 PLUS WEEKS. MERCEDES PUT THE WRONG TIRES ON THE CAR CAUSING ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS , TIRES WORE DOWN AFTER 3000 MILES, THERE IS AN UNRESOLVED CONDENSATION LEAK, UNRESOLVED OIL LEAK, & CURRENTLY HAVE A SRS DIAGNOSIS CODE WHICH HAS BEEN LEFT UNDIAGNOSED.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER FROM MBZUSA DATED JUNE 2016 R.E. DEFECTIVE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG BEING RECALLED (SEE "MBZ LETTER"); LETTER STATED THAT NO "SUITABLE REPLACEMENT PART IS TESTED OR AVAILABLE" BUT WHEN IT WAS, OWNERS WOULD BE SENT "2ND LETTER NOTIFYING YOU TO BRING YOUR VEHICLE IN" FOR REPAIR - "BRING" NOT "DRIVE" - NOWHERE IN THE LETTER WAS THERE A WORD ABOUT THE VEHICLE BEING SAFE TO DRIVE, NOR WAS THE WORD "DRIVE" EVEN MENTIONED. SO OFFICIALLY I NOW HAVE A CAR WITH A DEFECT KNOWN TO HAVE CAUSED AT LEAST 10 US DEATHS, BUT NO REMEDY. MOST CONCERNING ARE THE DOCUMENTS POSTED ON NHTSA WEBSITE FOR MERCEDES-BENZ, WHICH SHOW MBZ NOTIFIED NHTSA OF VEHICLES W/ SAFETY DEFECT (I.E. EXPLODING TAKATA AIRBAGS), INCLUDING MY VEHICLE, ON 8 FEB 2016 (SEE FEB16 DEFECT). NHTSA ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT NOTICE ON 12 FEB 2016 (SEE FEB16 NHTSA ACKN), & STATED "IT IS REQUIRED THAT OWNERS BE NOTIFIED OF A SAFETY DEFECT IN THEIR VEHICLES WITHIN 60 DAYS OF A MANUFACTURER'S NOTIFICATION TO NHTSA OF A SAFETY DEFECT IN THOSE VEHICLES." WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED W/IN 60 DAYS? ON MBZUSA WEBSITE/RECALL FAQS, THEY STATE "ANY CUSTOMERS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED WILL BE MAILED...IN APRIL" (SEE MBZ2 APR VS JUN). CYA, BREAK THE RULES & NO REMEDY IN SIGHT. CORPORATE VULTURES. NHTSA NEEDS TO HAMMER THEM PLEASE. ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT RECENT DEATH OF ACTOR KILLED BY JEEP IN A DIFFERENT SAFETY RECALL WITHOUT REMEDY. WHAT IS NHTSA DOING ABOUT THIS??? OWNERS ARE STUCK W/ UNSAFE CARS THAT CAN'T BE REPAIRED! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

RECEIVED RECALL LETTER FOR SRS CONTROL UNIT. MADE APPOINTMENT ON APRIL 19 TO REMEDY RECALL. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO MERCEDES DEALER IN BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, GOT RIDE BACK TO WORK. BENZ DEALER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART TO REMEDY RECALL AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHICH PART THEY NEEDED UNTIL AFTER THEY BEGAN WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. SO, I HAD TO GET A RIDE BACK TO THE DEALER AND GOT MY CAR BACK. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME IN 5 WEEKS WHEN THE PART CAME IN. THEY NEVER CALLED ME. ON JUNE 21 I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE PART WASN'T IN AND THEY WERE GOING TO PUT THE ORDER IN AGAIN. THEY SAID MERCEDES ISN'T MAKING THE PARTS FAST ENOUGH. THEY REFUSED TO TELL ME WHICH PART NUMBER THEY NEEDED (THEY SAID THEY HAD ONE OF THE PARTS BUT NOT BOTH THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REMEDY). I RECEIVED THE LETTER MARCH 2016, MADE THE APPOINTMENT IN APRIL AND NOW IT'S JUNE AND THEY ARE STILL TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. WHAT IS A CONSUMER TO DO?

VERY STRONG SMELLING FUEL ODOR AFTER EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP WITH FUEL. YESTERDAY 06/20/16 IT STARTING LEAKING FUEL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN NOVEMBER 2015. CAR COULD BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION AND THE SMELL OF FUEL IS ALWAYS THERE. SMELLS THE WORST WHEN I FILL IT UP. THE ACTUAL LEAK PROMPTED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT.

ON 4/24/16, A TOYOTA REAR ENDED ME AND PUSHED ME INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRABLE UNTIL MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED IN THE INSIDE ABOVE THE GAS TANK AREA, BUT THE MAN WORKING AT THE IMPOUND LOT THE NEXT DAY SAID IT LOOKED ELECTRICAL. EITHER WAY, THE IMPACT SHOULD NOT CAUSE A MERCEDES TO CATCH ON FIRE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK FAILURE AND IT IS KNOWN TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED

THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY BALL BEARING IN THE GEAR BOX BEHIND THE TRANSMISSION, AND I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF 6,000.00. I FEEL AS IF THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, AND NO CUSTOMER SHOULD BEHELD FINANCIALLY LIABLE FOR THE COST OF FIXING OR HAVING THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL INFORMATION (SEE ATTACHED) AND MY VEHICLE LISTED AS ONE OF THE RECALL VEHICLE ON THE LETTER SO I CALLED THE DEALER TO REQUEST FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO INSPECT THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY BUT HE STATED ACCORDING TO HIS RECORD, THIS VEHICLE VIN: [XXX] IS NOT SHOWN ON HIS RECORD AS BEING RECALLED.

INTERMITTENT WARNING "CHECK RIGHT TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT" I CHECK AND LIGHT NOT FUNCTIONING; MESSAGE DISAPPEARS, LIGHTS WORK AND THEN REPEATS WITH LIGHT NOT FUNCTIONING. ADDITIONALLY CAR FAILS TO START ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. HAS BEEN IN SHOP 3 DAYS. NOT SURE IF IT IS WIRING HARNESS FAULTY, CIRCUIT BOARD, PERHAPS HARNESS OR SOCKETS BURNT, MELTED. NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RAMPANT IN ONLINE REPORTING. MERCEDES REPORTS NO RECALLS.

FUEL LEAKING/DRIPPING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. THE SMELL OF GAS PROMPTED ME TO LOOK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS THEN THAT I SAW A SMALL POOL OF GAS ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE LEAKING STOPPED WHEN THE TANK WAS LESS THAN FULL AND RECURRED WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. NO DAMAGE YET, GOING TO THE DEALER FOR THEIR ASSESMENT.

THIS IS A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 57000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE REPORTING SAME PROBLEM WITH SAME VEHICLE AT AROUND SAME MILEAGE. MAKES ME THINK THERE IS SOME FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MB HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX. THE REPAIR WILL COST OVER $6000 WHICH IS AROUND THE SAME COST OTHERS HAVE REPORTED ONLINE. IT JUST SEEMS TOO COINCIDENTAL TO ME THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SYMPTOMS BEING THE SAME AT AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO AND HOLD MB ACCOUNTABLE FOR. ISN'T THIS THE KIND OF THING THAT DRIVES RECALLS? *TR

WE HAVE HAD CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE WINDOWS,TEMP CONTROLS, LIGHTS, ETC. LOSING THEIR PAINTED COVERING/DELAMINATING. MERCEDES HAS SAID THAT THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM DUE TO HAND LOTION AND/OR AIR FRESHENERS AND NOT A DEFECT. WE'VE HAVE MANY CARS OVER MANY YEARS AND WE'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCUR BEFORE. APPARENTLY MERCEDES HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND SENT A SERVICE ADVISORY TO THEIR REPAIR ENTITIES BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A DEFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE LETTERS AND WORDS ON THE BUTTONS BECOME ILLEGIBLE FORCING THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR ATTENTION FROM ROAD TO TRY AND OBTAIN THE REQUIRED ACTION. *TR CONSUMER STATED THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 85,847 MILES.

THAT SATURDAY I HAD MY 30,000 MILE SERVICE AT ESTATE MOTORS IN GOLDENS BRIDGE, NY. THE DEALER ALSO DID AN "OPEN RECALL". THEY DEDUCTED $20 FROM MY BILL TO GET A CAR WASH. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO A CAR WASH ON ROUTE 202 IN NEW MILFORD, CT. ABOUT 3:00 PM, I WAS THIRD IN LINE AND AS THE TWO CARS AHEAD EDGED FORWARD, TURNING LEFT TO GO IN, I NUDGED MY GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET, GLANCED OFF THE CAR BUMPER AHEAD, RAN OVER ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT AND A 3 FOOT TALL TREE, WENT HALFWAY OVER A 3 FOOT HIGH WALL AND WAS STOPPED BY SMASHING INTO A TREE. NOBODY WAS HURT. I HAD KEPT MY SEAT BELT ON AND WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY BRUISED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG, AS I TOLD THE POLICE, BUT REALIZED LATER THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I AM A GOOD AND CAREFUL DRIVER AS ALL RECORDS WILL ATTEST. I COULD NOT HAVE JAMMED MY FOOT DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. I LATER FOUND THAT THE "OPEN RECALL" HAD TO DO WITH A CAM SOLENOID, WHICH IS INVOLVED WITH THE FLOW OF GASOLINE INTO THE MOTOR. I ALSO FOUND ON GOOGLE THREE ALMOST IDENTICAL INCIDENTS REPORTED ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR. TAKE A LOOK. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A COINCIDENCE. S MERCEDES BENZ HAS BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE AND STATES THEIR INSPECTION SHOWED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RELEVANT PARTS OF MY SUV. AFTER THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE AND REPAIR, I THINK ONE CAN BE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THEIR OPINION. HOW COULD THEY KNOW WHAT THE CAR WAS LIKE BEFORE THIS? MERCEDES DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY. AS I AM DEEPLY UPSET BY THE COST TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR SOMETHING I DO NOT BELIEVE IS MY FAULT, THE FUTURE INCREASES IN INSURANCE RATES THAT WILL FOLLOW, THE $560 LOST IN THE 30,000 MILE CHECK-UP AND MY $1000 DEDUCTIBLE, THE LOSS OF VALUE OF MY CAR, AND BY THE INSENSITIVITY AND RUDENESS OF MERCEDES BENZ, WHOSE STAFF FAILS TO RETURN PHONE CALLS AND IS GENERALLY UNCOOPERATIVE. *TR

AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A PARKED VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY MY SALESMAN WAS NOT INJURED AND THE CAR THAT WAS HIT WAS AN ABANDONED VEHICLE WITH NO PLATES.
