2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Air bags Problems

“I was backing out of my driveway and was putting the car in Drive when the airbag located in my steering wheel deployed without a reason. The car has not been inspected by anyone as of today. I was told there was a warning but that it was not of immediate attention in November of 2024.”

“All of the buttons on my steering wheel including the horn stopped working. I hear a clicking noise when i turn the steering wheel and the passenger air bag light randomly goes on and off. This leads me to believe the clock spring is broken. If the clock spring is the problem, this could create an airbag malfunction causing it to not deploy when needed or randomly deploy while i’m driving.”

“The contact owns a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that he observed a rattling noise emanating from the steering column while making right turns. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the clockspring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.”
