2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Complaint Log

My MB GLC 300 has run out of gas three times. The first two times the car showed it still had 40 miles before fill up and the gas warning light never came on. I took the car in for repair to see if the Fuel level sending unit had stopped working or the float was stuck. The date was March 2020 and at that time the car was under warranty. I was told to make sure I filled up the tank when the fuel indicator reached 100 miles. I was told by the dealer there was nothing wrong and the service department had run a diagnostic. I had never been told that I needed to fill up when a car gauge read 100 miles. Thirty or forty maybe but 100 seemed odd. Two weeks ago I had the gas leak repaired which was the result of the class action law suit. Yesterday I again ran out of gas again. The gas gauge showed 3 bars and 100 miles before next fill up. No gas low warning light came on. I was able to get a friend to bring a gallon of gas so I could drive somewhere to fill up. After I filled the gas tank the gas gauge completely stopped working. The miles to fill up is zero. I have tried resetting the ODM and have checked all the fuses related to the gas tank. This could have been a dangerous situation.

Piston 1 cracked while driving on the highway. My sibling was driving on the highway when the engine suddenly started misfiring and losing power because it lost compression on the piston that cracked. I was lucky enough that I have mechanic experience to replace all the damaged components myself and paid out of pocket. I was super fortunate that the cylinder walls did not get damaged when this happened thus not needing an entire engine replacement which would cost around $10,000 from mercedes. I had to go pick up a trailer from UHaul and go pick up the vehicle from where it broke down. Thinking about this from the perspective of a person who does not have access to rent a trailer, a vehicle to pull said trailer with, or the mechanic experience to fix the vehicle themselves, the cost to get this issue resolved would be much much more than it cost me.

AT 40,000 MILES, ONE OF THE WRIST PINS SNAPPED AND THE PISTON BROKE OFF. THIS CAUSED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE WHOLE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT CAUSED A RECALL WITH THE 2015 MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR THE LABOR, BUT MERCEDES DONATED THE ENGINE (PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S THEIR FAULT). SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL AS WELL.

MY CARS FRONT STATIONARY SUNROOF PANEL CAME OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CALLED MERCEDES BENZ RECALL DEPARTMENT AND I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIRS ARE NOT VARIABLE AT THE MOMENT DUE TO THE RECALL BEING PENDING STILL. MY CAR IS GETTING WET DUE TO THE TROPICAL RAIN IN FLORIDA.

Continuous problem with brakes squealing very loud. Have had brake pads replaced and taken to dealership multiple times to no resolution. It is a huge problem with how loud it is not to mention unsafe and making me feel uneasy about them giving out at any time. This is ongoing from several years ago

FUEL SMELL ENTERING CABIN AFTER START UP, FUEL LINE ON DRIVERS SIDE NEAR STEERING COLUMN LEAKING, GOOGLED PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH GLC300, AND MERCEDES C CLASS BUT NO RECALL, THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MERCEDES METRIS HAS BUT THERE WAS AN RECALL ISSUED FOR THAT MODEL

I WAS ON MY WAY TO JURY DUTY WHEN THE SENSOR WHICH REGULATES ACCELERATION WENT OUT. THIS NEARLY PREVENTED THE SAFE DRIVING, SPEED CONTROL AND ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TRYING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY ON ONE OF THE BUSIEST FREEWAYS IN THE AREA OF PEARLAND, TX. I WAS SO FRANTIC, I BEGAN TO CRY AND PRAYED TO REACH THE EXIT NEAREST MY HOME AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO THE GOODYEAR AUTO CENTER. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT- OF-POCKET BECAUSE I HAD NO CHOICE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, THE NEAREST MB DEALERSHIP IS APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AWAY.

IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY THE GLASS SUNROOF PANEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE , THERE'S NOTHING THAT I DID THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THAT PIECE TO DETACH THE WAY IT DID. I HAVE SEEN RECALLS FOR OTHER MODEL VEHICLES FOR MERCEDES-BENZ FOR THIS SAME REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE AT THE LOCAL DEALER MERCEDES BENZ OF THOUSAND OAKS LOCATED AT 3905 AUTO MALL DR, THOUSAND OAKS, CA, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

PUTTING THIS CAR INTO PARK WILL NORMALLY AUTOMATICALLY SET THE PARKING BRAKE. EARLIER THAT DAY, IT DID NOT SET THE BRAKE. I ASSUMED I MUST HAVE HIT SOME BUTTON OR SOMETHING ON MY DASH TO CAUSE THAT. BUT THEN ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR (FOR WANT OF A BETTER TERM) STARTED WIGGLING AND I FOUND IT HARD TO CONTROL IT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. IT STOPPED DOING THAT FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY HAPPENED AGAIN. AS I STARTED TO CHANGE LANES TO MOVE TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, IT DID IT A THIRD TIME BUT IT WAS WORSE AND I HAD NO CONTROL AT ALL. IT WAS MOVING TOWARD THE RIGHT BUT OUT OF CONTROL AND WENT UP ON AN EMBANKMENT AND THEN BACK DOWN AGAIN. WHEN I LOOKED INTO IT, I REALIZED IT WAS DOING EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM CONTROL GOES BAD. BUT MY VIN IS NOT IN THE SERIES THAT WAS RECALLED. PERHAPS IT IS WORTH LOOKING AS TO WHETHER THE VIN NUMBERS SHOULD BE EXPANDED, ESPECIALLY IF OTHER VEHICLES ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I WAS LUCKY. ALL OTHER CARS MANAGED TO SWERVE OUT OF MY WAY AS I WENT ACROSS THE LANES OF TRAFFIC, BUT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. YOU ASKED IF THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK DOWN. BUT THERE WAS CALIF HWY PATROL THERE, A FIRE TRUCK, AND AN AMBULANCE. AND AUTO CLUB HAS THE INFORMATION. *TR

LEAKAGE IN FUEL SYSTEM ( HIGH PRESSURE PUMP). ON GLC 300. GAS SMALL INSIDE THE CAR. COMPANY DENIED INVESTIGATING OR PROVIDING MY REFUND FOR REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS TOTALLY SAFETY FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE . SO MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 32908 AND IT IS 2016 MODEL. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE COMPANY CLAIMS FOR ITS HIGHEST STANDARDS OF SAFETY. SO I WANT THE AUTHORITY TO HELP ME IN INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDE ME ASSURANCE AND COVERAGE FOR ANY KIND OF SAFETY ISSUES IN FUTURE. ALSO, I WANT TO REPORT SOME MINOR ISSUES ON BREAKS. I SEE SOMETIME THE THERE IS A DELAY IN ACTION. HOPE THIS WILL BE INVESTIGATED FOR PREVENTIVE ACTIONS AND GET MY REFUND FOR FIXING THIS KIND OF SAFETY RELATED MATTERS. ITS IS TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY OF MANUFACTURER TO DELIVER THE SAFETY VEHICLE. NOT TO ESCAPE BY SAYING WARRANTY CLAUSE

Often after starting the car, inside the car there is a gas smell that we have to closed the vents as it becomes unhealthy until the smell goes away, it last up to 10 minutes. I have taking the car to my mechanic who specializes on Mercedes and could not find any leaks and/or anything wrong. My other issue is that during the raining season when I put my foot on the breaks it makes this loud sound like an airplane landing that I have to release and press and release and press so the car will slow down. My mechanic have done multiple inspections and finds nothing wrong. My third issue is the suspension, driving on freeways at speeds over 55 mph I feel a lot of shaking between front wheels and I can feel every single bump. Again, my mechanic has found nothing wrong that even checked for recalls and has told me that there are no recalls for this vehicle. Obviously there has to be a recall issue and the one more concerning is the gas smell inside the car at start up.

BRAKES SCREECH LOUDLY WHEN IN REVERSE CAUSING NOISE DISTURBANCE AND CONCERN ABOUT POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. APPARENTLY, THIS DEFECT WITH BRAKES IS WELL KNOWN TO MERCEDES-BENZ BUT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A PROPER FIX OR RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE PURCHASED PRE-OWNED FROM MERCEDES-BENZ DEALERSHIP IN WALNUT CREEK IN 2018.

The contact owns a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to dealer, where it was diagnosed that the crankcase ventilation system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred.

VEHICLE WAS GOING ON THE LEFT MOST LANE OF THE I580 EASTBOUND AT ADAPTIVE CRUISE AT 65MPH. BOTH STEERING AND SPEED WAS UNDER CONTROL BY THE THE ADAPTIV E CRUISE FEATURE. I WAS HAVING MY HAND ON THE STEERING AND FOOT ON THE BRAKE. ALL OF SUDDEN CAR TOOK LEFT TURN ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO SIDE CONCRETE RAIL FOLLOWED BY A QUICK TURN AND CAME BACK TO THE HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 2ND HIGHWAY LANE. THINGS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT I COULD NOT EVEN REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE WHICH LEAD TO THIS SUDDEN TURN. I WOULD LIKE YOU OR NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. I AM 7 MONTH PREGNENT AND IN SIGNIFICANT PAIN CAUSED BY THIS ACCIDENT. I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE ANY HARD DRUGS BECAUSE OF MY PREGNANCY. IT HAS BEEN A BIG TRAUMA FOR ME AT THIS POINT OF MY PREGNANCY. IT WILL BE GOING TO BE VERY TOUGH FOR ME FROM NOW TO TRUST ON THE FEATURES ADVERTISED AND SOLD TO US BY MERCEDES. WE HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MERCEDES FOR OVER A MONTH. BUT THEY ARE NOT SHOWING ANY PROACTIVENESS TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER. THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY DELAYING THE PROCESS HOPING WE WILL GIVE UP SOONER THAN LATER. I WOULD REQUEST NHTSA TO INTERVENE AND TAKE SEVERE STEPS TOWARDS MERCEDES. MRS MARY ELIZABETH FROM MERCEDES HAS BEEN CONFUSING ABOUT THE PROCESS AND HAS NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT IS NEXT. SHE IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AND AFTER WASTING 20 DAYS SHE IS BLAMING INSURANCE COMPANY DID NOT PROVIDE PERMISSION. THEY NEVER BOTHER TO CALL ME AND UPDATE ME ABOUT PROCESS AND JUST FORMALLY SEND AN EMAIL WITH HALF BAKED INFORMATION.

THE CAR WAS SERVICED (3 YEARS OR 30,000 MILES) *CW *BF*JB CONSUMER ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH FAULTY RADAR SENSOR, POWER CONTROL UNIT, ENGINE LIGHT, AND FAULTY CRANKCASE VENT SYSTEM.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC300W. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN TO PARK, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AUTOMATICALLY AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING.

WHEN GETTING MY VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION THIS MARCH (2019) AT THE DEALER WHERE THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED FOUR (4) NEW TIRES SOON !! THE TIRES ARE PIRELLI SCORPION RUN FLATS AND THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 13,500 MILES AND THESE TIRES ARE NOT CHEAP(!). I THINK WITH TODAYS TECHNOGLY TIRES SHOULD LAST BEYOND 14,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE AND TIRES HAS BEEN ALIGNED,BALANCED AND ROTATED THREE (3) TIMERS SINCE PURCHASED, BECAUCE I WANTED TO GET THE MOST MILAGE OUT OF THEM BECAUSE OF THE PRICE OF THE TIRES. I'M NOT A NASCAR DRIVER (IN MY 70'S) AND I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES BUT I THINK IT BEARS LOOKING INTO THESE TIRES ( TOO SOFT COMPOUND,ETC..)-- I HAVE A FILE ON ALL MAINT.PULLED ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THE LAST RESULTS SHOWING FAILURE ON THE TIRES.

WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF SELF DRIVING FEATURES NEW PASSERNGER SAFTEY REGULATIONS ARE NEEDED. MY CAR , AN ADDED FEATURE, IS DISTRONIC SAFETY SYSTEM, SELF DRIVE MODE. WHEN THE CAR IS AT ACOMPLETE STOP IT WILL SENSE IF SOME IS ABOUT TO REAR END YOU. THE CAR COMPLETELY LOCKS DOWN. WITH IMPACT THE PASSENGERS IN THE VECHILE TAKE A FULL BODY IMPACT. THE CURRENT SEATBELTS DO PROTECT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BODY BUT THE RIGHT SIDE GETS SEVER DAMAGE. HARNESS SEAT BELTS SUCH AS RACE CAR DRIVERS US OR CHILDREN CAR SEAT WOULD MINIMIZE RIGHT BODY INJURES. THIS FEATURE EQUATES THE IMPACT TO HITTING A BRICK WALL. MY ACCIDENT WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

ON COLD START (7AM, BETWEEN 60 AND 70F DEGREES), THERE'S A STRONG GAS SMELL ON BOTH THE CABIN AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON OR ANY OTHER INDICATOR OF A FAILURE. THERE'S NO VISIBLE LEAKS ON THE UNDERHOOD OR MY DRIVEWAY. REALLY SCARED TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL UNLESS MB SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MB DEALERSHIP SHOULDN'T CHARGE FOR THE INSPECTION. TAKING VEHICLE TO EL PASO TX DEALERSHIP. WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

THE WIND SHIELD WIPER'S ELECTRIC MOTOR AND WORM GEAR MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE RAIN SENSOR OPTICS WERE ON AND OPERATIONAL AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. AS THE RAIN VOLUME INCREASED, THE AUTOMATIC SENSORS INCREASED THE WIPER VELOCITY. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BLADE UNIT OVER-TORQUED AND BECAME ENTANGLED WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE ROD. THIS ENTANGLEMENT CAUSED BOTH WIPER BLADES TO DETACH FROM THEIR RODS. THE TANDEM SYSTEM WIPER GEAR DISCONTINUED TO WORK, LEAVING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE RODS IN A 45 DEGREE ANGLE, BLOCKING VISIBILITY. THE RODS, WITHOUT THE ENTIRE WIPER BLADE ATTACHMENTS DAMAGED THE WINDOW. DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD, BOTH RODS IN THE LINE OF THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY DEEMED INOPERABLE DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION.

WHEN I START MY CAR THERE IS STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN FOR THE FIRST 3-4 HOURS OF DRIVING. ALSO THERE IS A MOLDY SMELL IN THE WARMER MONTHS AS WELL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC300. WHILE DRIVING WEST BOUND ON A FOUR LANE ROAD AT 35 MPH, A PICK UP TRUCK ON THE NORTH SIDE TURNED.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION> 18V177 RECALL DATE: MARCH 15, 2018 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 2018030012 THEY NEVER HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL AT THE LOCAL DEALER

I AM BEING TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE SATISFIED THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, BUT, AS OF FEBRUARY 15, 2018, THERE ARE STILL 2 OPEN RECALLS ON MY VIN. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAG INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYING DUE TO WIRING ISSUES IN THE STEERING COLUMN.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2016 MODEL (FEB. 2016), AROUND NOV 2016, THE ROTORS STARTED MAKING SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN BACKING UP, SO I TOOK TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE. AT FIRST, THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE BUT AFTER READING ON THE MERC FORUM, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER (JAN. 2017), ASKED TO CHECK THE ROTORS (NOT JUST THE BREAKS), FOUND THE ISSUE AND I PAID FOR THIS REPAIR. FAST FORWARD, JAN 2018, BROUGHT THE CAR BACK BECAUSE THE SAME SQUEAKING SOUND CAME BACK. I CALLED MERC CUSTOMER SERVICE, S/W "IRENE", AND SHE SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SHE WILL WORK WITH DEALER TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX W/O FEE. SO LONG STORY SHORT, NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MERC ARE WILLING TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WON'T PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE ME "15%" DISCOUNTS. SO, I AM WRITING TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF OTHER OWNERS HAVE SAME ISSUE, SHOULD THIS BE AN OVERALL RECALL?

PURCHASED THE CAR NEW FROM DEALER IN MARCH 2016. BRAKES SQUEAL IN REVERSE WHEN THERE'S COLD WEATHER. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED BREAK PADS AND ROTORS 3 TIMES BUT STILL THE SAME ISSUE; I'VE BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER 4 TIMES. THE LATEST 'FIX' WAS JANUARY 2018.

DEER RAN INTO PATH SMASHING AT 70 MPH IMPACT AND DAMAGED TO FRONT OF VEHICLE DISABLING THE VEHICLE. MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD "SRS MALFUNCTION" REQUIRES SERVICE. THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN COLLISION SHOP AFTER 4 WEEKS AT CHAPMAN COLLISION CENTER, TUCSON, ARIZONA. MB DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED IN TUCSON, AZ AND WAS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRIVER AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED IN THE ACCIDENT.

ON FOUR (4) SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING 21 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, UNDER NORMAL USAGE THE REAR SEATBELT BUCKLE RETRACTED BEHIND THE SEAT AND INTO THE RETRACTOR MECHANISM, RENDERING THE SEATING POSITION UNSECURED. SEAT BELT COULD NO LONGER BE USED AT THIS POSITION AND COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED.

TAKATA RECALL MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE RECALL. LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT THIS TIME. WE ARE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE WE CHOSE TO PURCHASE THIS CAR MAINLY BECAUSE OF ITS SAFETY RECORD. WE WANT A NEW CAR OR HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED RIGHT AWAY!!! WE DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR KNOWING THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
