Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When driving at 40 to 60 MPH and hit shallow pot hole or bump in the road the front wheels violently shake and the steering wheel (electric steering) violently vibrates for 5 to 8 seconds. Dealer checked the vehicle and claims there is nothing wrong with it but did turn off the attention assist setting from sensitive setting claiming it was the cause. The issue still exists but not as violent. I'm concerned of loosing control of the car/my safety. FYI: never experienced this issue with my previous car (same car two years older ,2020 GLC 300).”

NHTSA complaint #11445381, filed 2021-12

“Vehicle vibrates quite violently when hit some potholes. Steering wheel is the part that vibrates more but vibration is felt throughout the vehicle. It is more prevalent at highway between 55-65 mph speed. I also noticed that car shakes unusually and tilts to one side at times making it quite uncomfortable for driver. back tires make slipping noice on potholes and feels like car is going to be unstable momentarily . All these issues are putting driver and others at risk. I joined Facebook page of glc300 owners and almost everyone reported this kind of problem. …”
