Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Refer to 2016 GLC-300 complaints about screeching service brakes and copy/paste complaints here. 2017 model has the same screeching noises and car was purchased in august 2016. Going slowly in reverse or forward from cold start will cause loud screeching noises. My neighbors have confronted me about the car noises. It's absurd that the documented issues from the 2016 model continues in the 2017 model. Dealers are aware and have said applying brake paste does not help. A larger fix is still in the works. …”
