Example complaints

Electrical system: “My 2019 g550 has been to mercedes dealers twice for a front/rear differential lock system malfunction error appearing on the display screen. Along with this it shows the ABS and esp are be inactive. Each time at a mercedes dealer they replace parts and say it is fixed. It is not fixed.

NHTSA complaint #11323949, filed 2020-05, 3,350 miles

Latches, locks and linkages: “The driver-side door latch on my 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is malfunctioning. The door fails to securely close or stay latched, even when shut firmly. This poses a serious safety hazard while driving, as the door may open unexpectedly during motion or remain partially ajar. I have not been involved in any accidents, and the vehicle is well maintained. The issue seems mechanical in nature and affects the structural integrity of the door and its latching mechanism. I contacted an authorized Mercedes-Benz service center and was informed there is no recall. …”
