2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK-CLASS 4 DR RWD

The Fuel pump tank closing cover (P/N 204-470-04-38) cracked and caused fuel to pool on it. This happens when the tank is above 3/4 full resulting in strong fuel fumes when the car is parked inside. It is likely when parked in a garage to be an explosion hazard due to the fumes. Looking on the user forums and internet this is not an uncommon issue and should be addressed as this design is used on most Mercedes fuel tanks in the 2000's.

Left side boost tube blown twice on my vehicle. Technical part info: 204-528-00-00, Charge Air Hose Both incidents involved sudden loss of power in the middle of the free way driving. First incident: Christmas Day 2018, on the way to Las Vegas from Grand Canyon visit, on highway 93. Fortunately, no vehicle was behind when I lost the power, moved to right lane and continued driving slowly to reach the hotel in LV (about 50 miles at low speeds). Check engine light came on immediately after loosing the power. Next day morning, visited the local Mercedes dealer to repair the vehicle, it costed me $520.19 This was in the middle of a long road trip from Phoenix to San Fransisco. Second incident: July 29th 2021, right after I picked up the vehicle from a repair shop to repair the rear bumper. Vehicle pick up was slow, no check engine light. Next day morning, on the way to work on I-17, vehicle lost the power while merging onto Freeway. Almost got hit a by trailer truck which was right behind me. Moved back to right lane and slowly drove to work. Check engine light came on after few minutes of driving. Took the vehicle to repair on August 6th to a local dealer. This time they didn't charge me for the repair and said it's covered under warranty. I don't have any warranty. Seems like it's a design issue with turbo charge air hose and/or a faulty part. It's a real safety issue if it blown in the middle of driving.

The contact owns a 2014 Mercedes Benz GLK350. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a loud sound coming from the sunroof. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with the cassette part that needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, after retrieving the vehicle, the contact stated that an abnormal sound was coming from the sunroof. The sunroof glass shattered and glass shards fell onto the contact. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sunroof needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that she would receive a callback. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

WE STARTED TO DEVELOP A STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I STARTED TO RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY MERCEDES MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, A CRACK DEVELOPS ON A CAP THAT HOUSES THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE BACK SEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS PERMITS GAS FUMES TO ENTER THE VEHICLE, LET ALONE ACTUAL GASOLINE TO COLLECT ABOVE THE CAP AND LEAKING UNDER THE SEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. SOME PEOPLE TRY TO JUST PATCH IT WITH EPOXY AND ATTEMPT TO REPLACE PARTS. BUT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ONGOING FOR YEARS ON VARIOUS MODELS AND OBVIOUSLY IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BY THE MANUFACTURER. YOU NEED TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN AND IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OVERNIGHT, YOU CANNOT ENTER THE VEHICLE FOR A LONG TIME IN THE MORNING, UNTIL IT AERATES.

CONTACTED MERCEDES DEALER OVER A YEAR AGO TO REPLACE AIR BAG AND THEY STILL TELL US AS OF TODAY THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE RECALL AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

SUMMARY: MERCEDES-BENZ USA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MY 2010-2017 C-CLASS, GLK-CLASS, SLS-CLASS AND E-CLASS COUPE MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH PASSENGER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAGS AFFECTED BY THE DEFECT DECISION OF TK HOLDINGS, INC. ( TAKATA ). UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES DURING A CRASH THAT NECESSITATES FRONTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE DEFECT IN YOUR PASSENGER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO EXPLODE. A PASSENGER-SIDE INFLATOR EXPLOSION DURING DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE FRONT PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SAFETY RISK: ACCORDING TO TAKATA, IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR EXPLOSION, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS A FACTORY DEFECT. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THE ISSUE,BUT THEY JUST KEEP SAYING THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR OVER A YEAR, SO THEY HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

IN DECEMBER 2019 I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. I WAS DRIVING BEHIND A LADY AND WHEN SHE STOPPED I WENT TO PUT MY FEET ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR HIT HER. I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED OF COURSE AND PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE. MY CAR WAS DRIVING PRETTY REGULAR AFTER BEING REPAIRED. THEN IN AUGUST 2020 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND AS I WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AS I BEGIN TO STOP BECAUSE A CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN AND I HIT THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. I AM A GOOD DRIVER HAVING DRIVEN A MAIL TRUCK ON MY JOB FOR YEARS AND I NEVER HIT ANYONE BEFORE IN MY LIFE WHILE DRIVING ANY VEHICLE. I JUST WANT TO REPORT MU VEHICLE ISSUE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER A FORMAL RECALL BY MERCEDES (NHTSA ID# 19V010 - PND TAK PHASE 4). THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE LACK OF TIMELINESS IN RESOLVING & CORRECTING THE ISSUE.

BECAUSE OF THIS WARNING, WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT PASSENGERS AND ARE FORCED TO LIMIT DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT RISKING HARM (OR DEATH) TO OURSELVES OR OTHERS. THE RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN EARLY 2019, BUT ARE TOLD THAT PARTS NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIR ARE ESTIMATED TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE 3RD QUARTER OF 2020 (~18 MONTHS). FOR THIS EXTENDED TIME, WE ARE EXPECTED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT REGARD TO RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH; WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE TO US. NOT TO MENTION THE DURESS AND ANXIETY PLACED UPON US DURING THIS TIME. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HURRY OR RUSH ON BEHALF OF MERCEDES, AND THEIR EFFORTS TO BRING THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURER (TAKATA) SEEM NEGLIGENT.

MY 2014 MERCEDES GLK 250 WITH 16,705 MILES, ON 11/03/2015 EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE WARNING DISPLAY STATING TO ADD BLUE. I DID THIS BUT THE WARNING DID NOT REMOVE BUT STATED I HAD 10 STARTS REMAINING. I WAS 700 MILES FROM HOME SO RETURNED CONSERVING MY REMAINING STARTS. FOUND MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE BLUE TECH EMISSIONS SYSTEM INCLUDING DEF INJECTOR NOZZLE FAILING TO SPRAY. ALL COVERED BY WARRANTY. ON 06/15/2019 WITH 58,129 MILES, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON TO ADD BLUE. I CHECKED BLUETEC LEVEL TO BE NEARLY FULL.

I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FREQUENCY OF REPAIR FOR THIS MODEL IS VERY HIGH AND EXPENSIVE (MY LAST TOTALED $5,000). THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNRELIABLE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. BECAUSE OF THE EMMISION SYSTEM UTILIZED, NUMBEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS OCCUR SUCH AS THE COMPLETE WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM WAS REPLACEDDUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT CREATED BY THE SYSTEM. SAME WITH OIL LEAKS, ETC.. MERCEDES COULD HAVE AT A MINIMUM EXTENDED THEIR SKIMPY WARRANTY OF 50,000 MILES BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAULT CLAIMING "THE BEST OR NOTHING"! THIS MODEL IS DEFINITELY NOTHING!

THIS AIRBAG RECALL WHICH " COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE FRONT PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH" WAS REPORTED JAN 18, 2019 AND I RECEIVED NOTICE MARCH 2019 (NO DATE WAS NOTED ON THE LETTER). IT IS NOW 7-JUN 2019 AND PER MY INTERIM NOTICE I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT IF " AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER FOR ANY REASON IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION WITHOUT CHARGE, OR WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, PURSUANT TO LAW 49 U.S.C. CHAPTER 301." I BELIEVE THAT >5 MONTHS EXCEEDS A "REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME" TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN RISK OF DEATH TO IT'S OCCUPANTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED.

I WAS NOTIFIED FEBRUARY, 2019 THAT MY CAR HAS THE DEFECTIVE TAKATA PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. I WAS ALSO NOTIFIED THAT A REPLACEMENT BAG IS NOT AVAILABLE.

BLUE TEC SYSTEM FOR DIESEL FUEL EMISSIONS IN MY 2014 MERCEDES BENZ GLK250 MODEL IS INHERENTLY FLAWED WITH REPEATED FAILURES THAT CAUSE THE CAR TO "GO LIMP" (UNABLE TO START AFTER 10 OR LESS STARTS WHEN THERE IS A FAILURE IN THE BLUE TEC SYSTEM.) AS A RESULT, THE CAR IS NOT ONLY UNRELIABLE, IT IS UNSAFE SHOULD THE CAR "GO LIMP" WHEN NEEDED FOR EMERGENCY OR ON A ROAD TRIP OR UNABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF AN UNSAFE AREA, ETC., SINCE ONLY A MERCEDES BENZ DEALER CAN RE-SET THE SYSTEM AFTER REPAIRS SO THAT THE CAR WILL START AGAIN. TO DATE (5/16/19) MY 2014 GLK250 HAS 28,388 MILES AND HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES (FIRST TIME, DEC. 6, 2014 AND 5 MORE TIMES SINCE) DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC WARNING MESSAGE "10 REMAINING STARTS/ADD BLUE" WHICH HAS ALWAYS TURNED OUT TO BE AN ELECTRONIC FAILURE IN THE BLUE TEC SYSTEM. THE MESSAGE MAY APPEAR WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON OR WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY FIRST APPEAR FOLLOWED BY THE "REMAINING STARTS" MESSAGE A FEW DAYS LATER. THERE IS NO LOGIC OR SET SEQUENCE. AND WHEN IT APPEARS, THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND TO RE-SET THE COMPUTER SO THE COUNT DOWN STOPS AND THE CAR CAN BE STARTED. THE REASON THIS IS NOT A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM IS THAT THERE WERE NOT MANY GLK 250 BLUE TEC CARS SOLD IN THE U.S. AND MERCEDES BENZ NO LONGER BUILDS THIS MODEL AND HAS STOPPED OFFERING DIESEL PASSENGER CARS IN THE U.S. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON COMPLAINTS, SEE LINK.: HTTPS://MBWORLD.ORG/FORUMS/GLK-CLASS-X204/517220-2014-GLK250-CONTINUED-ISSUES-BEWARE.HTML NOTE: THE DATE BELOW IS THE START DATE OF THE BLUE TEC PROBLEM FOR MY CAR AND THE MILAGE BELOW WAS FOR THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOLLOWED BY 5 MORE TIMES AFTERWARDS SINCE 12/6/14
