2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV 4WD

driving car and engine failed, #1 piston crack, turbo metal filings ruined it also, very expensive repair. both engine and turbo had to be replaced by mercedes benz service. many others are reporting this also, catastrophic failure at speed possible - not known if any fatalities associates with these engines (on both c300 and glc300 circa 2015 to ~2018)

The steering column has stopped moving up/down. I guess due to some latency build up (after having tried to adjust the steering a few times prior to the drive) caused the steering to move down (one time incident) while driving and caused momentary loss of steering control due to slippage and had to pull over to the shoulder of the freeway. While this was a one time incident it could become a safety issue...this seems to be a rampant issue (up/down movement getting jammed) on all MB vehicles and anything related to critical vehicular controls should be flagged as such.

check engine light appears, car runs fine. the crankcase vent value was broken on our 2017 GLC300 car. a mechanic, with a computer, ran the codes and shared this happens many times to this car. the service advisor at mercedes shared the same input. happens all the time and should be covered under emissions warranty but isn't. this disfunction does not affect driving of car, just emission and (sales pitch to fix it) "could" affect engine in long term. i suspect this is a defective piece in the system that mercedes won't address or cover under emissions warranty.

2017 MERCEDES BENZ GLC 300. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE MISFIRE, SPARK PLUGS AND CYLINDERS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT TWICE BUT, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

The contact owns a 2017 Mercedes Benz GLC300. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 mph, suddenly there was a loud sound and vibration coming from the vehicle. After stopping the vehicle, it was discovered that sections of the panoramic roof had separated and dislodged from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who indicated that the vehicle was included in the NHTSA recall campaign number 21V197000 (Structure) however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Car is at Mercedes dealer for repair. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Yes, car lost acceleration on freeway and put other drivers at risk on the road. Lucky to get off freeway and pull over without any injuries. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Dealer provided feedback cracked piston, cylinder # 2. Reading on forums, others continue to have the same issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Inspected by Mercedes bens manufacturer. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? in retrospect, some slow acceleration delays 1-2 days prior, but not consistent.

WHILE DRIVING, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) CAME ON. AFTER SOME DIGGING THIS WAS CAUSED BY AN OBD II CODE OF P052E, WHICH INDICATES A BLOCKED CRANKCASE VENT VALVE ACTUATOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES.

SMELLS LIKE GAS COMING THROUGH THE VENTS INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSES HEADACHES

1. CRANKCASE VENTILATION VALVE PERFORMANCE FAILED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHILE DRIVING 2. SMELLS GAS FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HEARD IT'S COMMON PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC300. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A U-TURN, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHE NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL FEATURES INCLUDING THE HORN AND AIR BAG WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER HOFFMAN LEXUS (750 CONNECTICUT BLVD, EAST HARTFORD, CT 06108, (860) 525-3987) AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER NEW COUNTRY MERCEDES-BENZ (1 WESTON ST, HARTFORD, CT 06120, (860) 278-2000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE CLOCK SPRING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

FUEL LINE LEAK: THE TEMPERATURE IN S. FLORIDA HIT A LOW OF 45 DEGREES TONIGHT ON 1 DEC 2020, FIRST NOTING THE ISSUE DESCRIBED. UPON RETURN HOME FROM AN 8 MILE TOTAL TRIP TO THE STORE, MY DAUGHTERS EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR. UPON INVESTIGATION MYSELF, I FOUND GASOLINE POOLING BEHIND THE ENGINE WHERE THE MAIN FUEL LINE CONNECTS TO A RUBBER HOSE. THE POOLING WAS ON THE REAR OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE COVER AS ALSO DESCRIBED BELOW. SIMILAR CASE FOUND ONLINE: HTTPS://WWW.BENZWORLD.ORG/THREADS/GASOLINE-LEAK.2936569/ "THERE IS A FUEL LEAK WHERE THE STEEL LINE FROM THE TANK CONNECTS TO A RUBBER HOSE NEAR THE FIREWALL. THERE IS APPARENTLY A REVISED FUEL LINE CONNECTOR AVAILABLE, NO RECALL AS YET. THIS JOINT IS APPARENTLY PART OF THE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM (4 BAR), NOT THE HIGH-PRESSURE SIDE (200 BAR)."

I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND REARENDEAD ANOTHER CA. HOWEVER MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MERCEDES BENZ GLC300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A 2ND VEHICLE. DURING THE CRASH THE FRONT END WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALSO, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE TORSO AREA WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL TREATMENT. AN OCCUPANT FROM THE 2ND VEHICLE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY. THE LOCAL DEALER MERCEDES BENZ OF HUNTSVILLE (6220 UNIVERSITY DR. HUNTSVILLE, AL) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD. I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THIS VEHICLE

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION(VARIOUS SPEED, 1 TIME AT HIGHWAY, 2 TIMES LOCAL STREETS), THE FASTEN SEATBELT LIGHT AND AUDIBLE WARNING CAME ON. ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME, THE SEATBELT TENSIONS (PULLS). THE DRIVER SEATBELT WAS FASTENED THE WHOLE TIME WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. *TR

TRAVELING 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE, WHEN STEERING WHEEL JERKED TO THE RIGHT AND THEN LEFT, BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED, AND SEAT BELT TIGHTENED. LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES, THEN JERKING STOPPED. WITHIN ANOTHER 30 MILES HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. EACH TIME AN ALERT APPEARED ON DISPLAY 'BLIND SPOT ASSIST IS DEACTIVATED, NOT OPERATIONAL'. STOPPED AND HAD CAR WASHED TO REMOVE ANY DEBRIS FROM SENSORS, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTED. HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, 5/2, AT 45 MPH ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED WHEN THESE INSTANCES OCCURRED. TERRIFYING! I HAD TO FIGHT THE WHEEL TO KEEP CONTROL.

FEED LINE TO HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP LEAKING TO ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUSING ODOR WHEN STARTING IN COLD WEATHER (VEHICLE STATIONARY). HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME BUT SIMPLY DID NOT CONNECT THE DOTS.

SINCE THE LEASE PURCHASE IN 2017. THE GLC300 HAS BEEN IN SERVICE ON A QUARTERLY BASES FOR THE BRAKES (CONSTANT SQUEAKING MAKING FEEL UNSAFE) AND NOW A CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS IS THE 4TH VEHICLE I LEASE AND BY FAR THE WORST. I CONTACTED MERCEDES USA ASKING THEM FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. I WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT A USED OR LOANER CAR BUT THE ONLY THING THEY OFFERED WAS $1000 TOWARDS MY NEXT VEHICLE. AS OF TODAY, THE VEHICLE IS BACK IN SERVICE FOR THE 7TH OR 8TH TIME. I AM HOPING SOMEONE CAN HELP OR AT LEAST PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE. I HAVE ATTACHED ALL PAPERWORK FOR YOUR REVIEW. THANK YOU

BOUGHT CAR 3 DAYS AGO AND BRAKES SQUEAL UPON BACKING OUT OF GARAGE AND SOMETIMES APPLYING WHEN STOPPING! SPECIFICALLY ASKED SALESMAN IF MERCEDES HAD PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES MAKING NOISE AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS WITH A VW TOUREG AND WAS TOLD NO THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. CALLED SALESPERSON TODAY AND WAS INFORMED NOW THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ITS NORMAL AND SHOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AND ITS COLD OR THEY GOT WET. TOLD IF IT GOES MORE TIMES THAN THAT BRING INTO SERVICE???? VERY DISAPPOINTED WE WERE BOLD FACTLY LIED TO AND NOW HAVE ANOTHER CAR THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BRAKE NOISE ISSUES.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, OR STILL, THE DRIVER'S SIDE COVER FOR THE SEATBELT/AIRBAG WILL NOT STAY ATTACHED. THIS IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND IS VISIBLE WHEN ENTERING AND EXITING THE CAR. I AM NOT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE COSMETIC ISSUE AS MUCH AS THE SAFETY ISSUE. WITH THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE BAG DEPLOYS WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE FLOATING PART? WILL THE AIRBAG, OR SEATBELT EVEN DEPLOY, OR WORK AS IT SHOULD? THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN BE INJURED BY THE HARD PLASTIC THAT IS HANGING THERE. THE PIECE CAN ALSO GET CAUGHT UNDER OUR FEET WHILE DRIVING AS IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. I REPORTED THIS THE 3RD DAY AND HAD IT REPAIRED 3 OTHER TIMES. I HAVE HAD MY CAR AND IT HAS BEEN IN PLACE ONLY 5 DAYS IN 2 YEARS, 2 MONTHS AND 30 DAYS. THE NEW LOANER THEY GAVE ME HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THE PORTERS REPORT THEY NEVER STAY ON. THE CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE 4 TIMES IN THE FIRST 20 MONTHS I OWNED IT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WEEKLY IF I WOULD HAVE NOT JUST LIVED WITH IT IN BETWEEN SERVICES THAT WERE NEEDED AND TAKEN IT IN AGAIN FOR SERVICE AND THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON BUSY HIGHWAY. ENGINE SHUT OFF. ELECTRICAL/ COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCITONED. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BACK UP AGAIN

对不起我说中文， 我的英语不好 我这辆车有安全辅组问题 有一次突然发动机熄火然后静止了几秒 然后我又从新启动，还有发动机有噪音，我已经拿去4S店维修了4次 还是问题重复出现。我现在不想浪费时间去4S 点了 每次都要浪费我很久的时间。 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER2018030012 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER18V177 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STUTTER ON WINDSHIELD AND MALFUNCTION. THIS JITTERING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. WINDSHIELD IS NOT KEPT CLEAR, EVEN WITH NEW BLADES. WINDSHIELD CLEANERS ALSO PLUG UP CONTINUALLY MAKING WASHING THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN AREAS WHICH CREATE VISIBILITY PROBLEMS DUE TO DUST, BUGS, ETC....IMPOSSIBLE -- EVEN IF CLEANER FLUID TANK IS FULL. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS AN ISSUE. MERCEDES KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM. THE SUV HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING LAST OCTOBER. THEY HAVE REPLACED IT EACH TIME, SAY THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, AND SAY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT AGAIN. THEY SAY THAT NON-MERCEDES WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IS A PROBLEM (BUT THE FIRST 3 TIMES, THE FLUID WAS ORIGINAL MERCEDES FLUID). THEY SAY PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN A CAR WASH IS PROHIBITED -- A RIDICULOUS COMMENT. WHO DOESN'T PUT THEIR SUV IN A CAR WASH? THE MECHANISM IS FAULTY AND MERCEDES WON'T TAKE RESPONSABILITY AND IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

THE THREE LEVERS LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLLING WIPERS (BOTH FRONT AND REAR) ADJUSTMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, AND CRUISE CONTROLS DO NOT ILLUMINATE IN THE DARK/EVENING. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER IS DISTRACTED FROM VIEWING THE ROAD AHEAD IN AN ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY THE NEEDED ACTIONS FOR OPERATION. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS MADE THIS WAY.

EXPLODING PANORAMIC SUNROOF: WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH ON ROUTE 35SOUTH (MIDDLETOWN, NJ) IN 30 DEGREE WEATHER AT 7:30PM ON 5FEB2018 THE FORWARD PANEL OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME. IT WAS A LOUD POP EXPLOSION. THE SAFETY GLASS LOOKS PUSHED OUT AND GLASS STARTED TO FLY BEHIND THE CAR ONTO THE ROAD. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND I CONTACTED MERCEDES HELP LINE FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER (MY LOCAL DEALER CONTEMPORARY MOTORS IN LITTLE SILVER, NJ). I DID A NIGHT DROP BOX DROP OFF. MERCEDES IS NOW ACCESSING THE ROOF.

THE LANE KEEPING ASSIST AND/OR LANE BRAKING ASSIST WILL VIOLENTLY MOVE THE VEHICLE UNASSISTED BY DRIVER ONTO ACCESS ROADS THE DRIVER EXPECTS THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN ITS POSITION OF THE HIGHWAY AND NOT TO VIOLENTLY TURN ONTO ACCESS ROADS.. IT IS PARTICULARLY UNSAFE ON 75 AND 85 MPH SPEED LIMIT HIGHWAYS. REQUIRES DRIVER TO VIOLENTLY JERK WHEELER BACK TO THE HIGHWAY BEING TRAVELED UPON. CALLS DIRECTLY TO MERCEDES INDICATE NO INTEREST IN THE PROBLEM AND SOFTWARE INVOLVED AND LOCAL DEALERS EITHER WILL NOT SET UP APPOINTMENTS FOR INSPECTION OR/AND INDICATE THEY CANNOT CORRECT THE SOFTWARE OR SENSITIVITY OF DETECTORS ON RIGHT SIDE OF CARE. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS IS ON A 4 LANE HIGH BY STAYING IN THE CENTER PASSING LANE A LANE AWAY FROM EXITS.

REAR BRAKING SYSTEM. WHEN BACKING UP OR APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE IS SCREAMING A LOUD NOISE. TAKEN BY DEALERSHIP AT 7000 MILES 01/04/18 DEALERSHIP STATES THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNTIL THEY RECEIVE PARTS ,WITH THE TAKATA RECALL AND A FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEM, THIS IS A HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V627000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I-75 NORTH, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AS INDICATED IN THE PICTURE ATTACHED. IT IS STILL UNCLEAR IF THE SUNROOF SHATTERING WAS FROM A STRAY ROCK ON THE HIGHWAY, OR IF THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON ITS OWN, HOWEVER MY CONCERN IS HOW THE SUNROOF SHATTERED AND THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL/GLASS USED. WHAT TYPE OF GLASS IS USED IN THIS VEHICLE FOR IT TO SHATTER AS IT DID? IS THIS PERHAPS A SIGN OF CHEAPER MATERIAL BEING USED ON THE SUNROOF. THERE ARE MORE PICS THAN CAN SHOW MORE OF THE DAMAGE.

VEHICLE KEY-LESS ENTRY LOCKED OUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WITH KEYS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. TALKED TO OTHER MERCEDES GLC300 OWNERS AND THEY ARE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT WITH MY WIFE AND 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN A HIGH CRIME AREA WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN. MERCEDES ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CHARGED US $99.95 TO UNLOCK VEHICLE. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND ADDRESSED BY MERCEDES IMMEDIATELY.

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT UP IN FLAMES WHILE DRIVING,MY WIFE SWITCHED OFF THE IGNITION AND GO OUT OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A BIG HOLE AND MERCEDES AUTHORIZED DEALER SIAD THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. THIS CAR IS NEW PURCHASED ON OCTOBER 31ST 2016 MB SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE AS IT IS IN WARRANTY, BUT SENTIMENTALLY WE ARE SO UPSET , IF THE FIRE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON TO GAS TANK. PLEASE SUGGEST. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND SHE WAS DRIVING AT LESS THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SHE NOTICED BURNING SMELL AND IMMEDITELY FUMES WERE COMING FROM THE AC VENTS. PLEASE SUGGEST OUR OPTIONS IN THIS CASE

I HAVE EXPERIENCED RECURRENT BUT INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION/ACCELERATION OF MY MERCEDES GLC 300 2017. TODAY, AFTER I WENT UP AND THEN DOWNHILL, THE CAR SLOWED DRAMATICALLY ON ITS OWN. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE. IN THE MEANTIME, I WAS WORRIED I WOULD BE REAR-ENDED BY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THIS SAME SPOT (WHICH I DRIVE NEARLY DAILY) IN THE PAST, SUGGESTING GOING OVER THE HILL HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT (E.G., ONCE, IN THIS SPOT, WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, THE CAR JERKED SO STRONGLY WHEN IT STARTED TO GO THAT MY DAUGHTER THOUGH WE WERE INDEED REAR ENDED). ALTHOUGH THIS SPOT MOST OFTEN REVEALS THE PROBLEM, THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON FLAT AREAS AS WELL. FOR INSTANCE, PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER, I SIMILARLY FOUND THE ACCELERATOR NON RESPONSIVE. DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO TENNIS ONE DAY, THE CAR REPEATEDLY JERKED DRAMATICALLY WHEN SHIFTING, PRIMARILY IN 2ND AND 3RD. GENERALLY, THE ISSUES SEEM TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY IN THESE GEARS. ALTHOUGH THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO CONSISTENTLY TAKE LONGER TO SHIFT IN THESE GEARS, THE MORE DRAMATIC PROBLEMS DO NOT HAPPEN DAILY, MAKING IT HARD TO TROUBLE SHOOT (WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER, THEY RAN THEIR COMPUTER TESTS, AND COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEMS). I AM WORRIED, THOUGH, THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY BE REAR ENDED OR OTHERWISE HAVE THIS PROBLEM LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN SOME OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE IN ONLINE FORUMS, AND HOPE NHTSA CAN CHECK INTO OR AT LEAST TRACK IT.

I PURCHASED A MERCEDES GLC 300 2017 IN SEPTEMBER IN DELRAY BEACH AND WHEN I APPROACHED 3500 BREAKS STARTED TO SQUEAL. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW BREAKS. THIS WAS 2 MONTHS AGO AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET NO FIXES AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN AWARE THAT MANY CONSUMERS HAD COMPLAINED PREVIOUSLY. THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND THAT THE PARTS ARE COMING FROM GERMANY ETC. I BET YOU IF THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL A CAR THEY WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT CAR FASTER THAN MY BREAKS. CAR IS STILL SQUEALING AND WAITING FOR A FIX. MERCEDES SLOGAN IS THE BEST OR NOTHING ELSE ?! WELL..... DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST EXPIRIENCE.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY 2017 MERCEDES GLC 300 SUV CAUGHT RANDOMLY ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ON THE SIDE.THEN WHILE ON THE PHONE DESCRIBING THE SITUATION TO THE SERVICE GUY; I SAW THE FIRE AND SMOKE ENTERED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND I GOT OUT AFTER A LITTLE BIT CAUSE THE CAR HAD NO POWER TO OPEN DOORS OR DO ANYTHING! I THINK THE PROBLEM WAS WITH ELECTRICITY! I WANT THE CAR NO MORE! I WILL RETURN IT BACK!

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT TOWARD HIGHWAY 287 AT 65M SPEED, THERE WAS NO SNOW NO RAIN NORMAL TRAFFIC NO CARS CLOSE TO ME, ALL THE SUDDEN ESP INDICATOR WENT OFF, ACCIDENT COLLISION PREVENTION INDICATOR WENT OFF ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE SPEED WENT DOWN TO 30M, 20M AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO BRING THE SPEED BACK, THE VEHICLE STOPPED RESPONDING. I PULLED OVER CALLED ROAD ASSISTANCE, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, START AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT 20 - 30MILE, WHEN I ENTERED HIGHWAY 46 ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING AT ALL, I KEPT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, UNTIL THE CAR START TO DRIVE AGAIN UP TO 25M. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WORKSHOP, THEY WAS FAULTS IN THE SENSOR AND GAS PEDAL THEY FIXED.. I TOOK THE VEHICLE AFTER ONE WEEK CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WENT OFF AGAIN. TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP WORKSHOP. I CONSIDER WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE IS REAL SAFETY ISSUE WHERE ALL THE SUDDEN YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE SPEED ANYTIME ANYWHERE.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN OAKLAND, CA. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR - NO RAIN AND APPROXIMATELY 60 DEGREES. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE LIKE A GUNSHOT AND OUR PANARAMIC SUNROOF SHATTERED. AT THE TIME, WE HAD A CARGO BOX ON TOP OF THE CAR (ON A FRAME THAT WAS NOT TOUCHING THE SUNROOF) SO IT IS UNLIKELY ANY PROJECTILE COULD HAVE HIT THE CAR. THE CARGO BOX WAS STILL AFFIXED TO THE CAR AND SECURE AFTER THE INCIDENT. IT WAS NOT AN EXTREME TEMPERATURE, NOR WAS THERE ANY EXTREME WEATHER (RAIN, SNOW, HAIL) AT THE TIME. THERE WERE NO UNDERPASSES NEARBY. MOST OF THE GLASS WAS CAUGHT BY THE SUNSHADE, BUT IF WE HAD THE SUNSHADE OPEN, THE GLASS WOULD HAVE ENTERED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AT THIS TIME.

VEHICLE HAD FRONTAL IMPACT WITH OTHER CAR ON LOCAL ROAD. THE VEHICLE AIRBAGS ON PASSENGER SIDE INFLATED AND DEFLATED COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COMPARED TO THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. WE BELIEVE MB GLC PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS FACTORY DEFECT IN OUR CAR. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTO ON PAGE 2.

REFER TO 2016 GLC-300 COMPLAINTS ABOUT SCREECHING SERVICE BRAKES AND COPY/PASTE COMPLAINTS HERE. 2017 MODEL HAS THE SAME SCREECHING NOISES AND CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2016. GOING SLOWLY IN REVERSE OR FORWARD FROM COLD START WILL CAUSE LOUD SCREECHING NOISES. MY NEIGHBORS HAVE CONFRONTED ME ABOUT THE CAR NOISES. IT'S ABSURD THAT THE DOCUMENTED ISSUES FROM THE 2016 MODEL CONTINUES IN THE 2017 MODEL. DEALERS ARE AWARE AND HAVE SAID APPLYING BRAKE PASTE DOES NOT HELP. A LARGER FIX IS STILL IN THE WORKS. THE NOISE IS ALSO MAKING US ATTEMPT TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WITH AS LITTLE BRAKING AS POSSIBLE. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES THE SCREECHING WILL MOSTLY STOP. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN IT HAS NOT--LIKELY DUE TO WET OR COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS. AS OF 12/29/2016, DEALER IS SAYING A NEW FIX MAY BE COMING 1/5/2017. I AM HOPEFUL BUT WEARY AND WILL PROCEED WITH LEMON LAW PROTOCOLS. *TR
