“Sunroof exploded and shattered. I heard it while driving and held on tightly to the steering wheel before I realized what it was. The dealer and my auto insurance have been called, neither picked up, and I left each a voice mail message. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem occurred.”

“Hello, I own a 2019 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 that's been on recall with no remedies released since April of this year. The recall is a SIM module defect that is suppose to help the driver get ahold of emergency responders in case an accident were to happen. The remedy is suppose to be OTA, but I have not seen anything update on my vehicle and I am worried Mercedes is going to forget about this update.”

“My sunroof just exploded while driving on the highway without any impact or warning. It was a clear sunny day. There wasn't a vehicle in front of me. Nothing fell on my windshield nor sunroof. The sudden explosion and shattering of the glass was extremely startling. I had a mesh underneath the sunroof that contained some of the shattered glass so it did not fall on me while I was driving. I'm so thankful there wasn't a car behind me for the glass debris to fall on. Mercedes USA was not helpful, unresponsive for many weeks. …”

“From the beginning, I have had issues with my car and received nothing but patronizing responses from both the dealership and the service department. From the very start, I have experienced constant issues with my car, only to be met with a condescending attitude from all levels of senior staff members at the dealership and the service department. When I asked for solutions, their solution was to inform me that I was merely using my car door handle incorrectly to open it and activate keyless go. …”

“I have a MC Benz 300 GLC with $50,000 miles. I was having heating issues so took it to the dealership, which basically advised of the issue describer below, which would cost $14k to repair. Contaminated coolant in Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 models often results from the internal failure of a desiccant bag inside the coolant expansion tank, which disintegrates, releasing material that clogs the heater core. Symptoms include black residue in the tank, reduced cabin heat, and engine overheating. Key actions include replacing the expansion tank (reservoir) and flushing the entire system.”
