2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 Complaints

I purchased the car brand new from my local dealership and 3 months after purchase my windshield cracked. I had the entire windshield replaced with an OEM windshield on 5/7/2024 and yesterday I got another chip/crack in my windshield. I have only had my car less than 8 months and already had 2 cracks/chips. I owned my previous Mercedes over 6years and never had an chip or crack. This has to be a defect in the windshield. My friend also just purchased a 2024 GLC 300 and it's only 3 months old and her windshield is also cracked. I look forward to hearing from you.

The contact owns a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the audible alarm activated and several warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that all the warning lights went off except the check engine and the low-battery warning lights. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the dealer on three occasions because of electrical or software failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 2,174.

Check engine light appears, also a blue engine and a turtle. The dealer is aware, they have had it 3times for the same issue and this time 23 days and counting. Currently Mercedes has no fix. I purchased the veh 30 Nov 23- first appeared 16 dec and continued going on and off.

When driving the car at night with the headlights on, you notice a dark, thin object illuminated from the left front headlight approximately 50-75 feet ahead of the vehicle that will move as the steering is turned, either left or right. It looks like a thin pedestrian moving into the path of the car. I noticed this defect within the first few weeks of ownership. I took the car to the dealership and showed my pictures of the lights with the shadow at night to two Mercedes Benz of Sarasota employees. The dealership ran multiple diagnostic tests and determined the car was operating as designed. While the dealership had my car, two employees at the dealership noted they had relatives who had 2024 Mercedes Benz vehicles and had noticed this same issue. They also received the same explanation that this was the design of the headlights. It is concerning, as it could cause a driver to swerve or otherwise create an issue that leads to an accident. I request NHTSA look into this headlight issue and encourage Mercedes Benz to fix this before an accident happens. I have uploaded the work order documents from the dealership. I have uploaded a picture of the shadow reflected on a car ahead of me to show the shadow up close.

Brand new 2024 GLC300 4MATIC with less than 750 miles. Check Engine light came on with no error message explanation. Brought it in to dealer for service - Found fault code POA7F00. Dealer followed LI54.10-P-077250. Cleared codes. Check engine light is still on with no resolution to problem at this time. Was told to ignore and keep driving. Driving with check engine light illuminated is a safety concern for me.

The contact owns a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the 48V bolt battery had caused the check engine warning light to illuminate. The contact was informed by the dealer that the temporary fix would be to reduce the battery charge to 25% then charge the battery to 75%. The check engine warning light returned soon after the fix and the contact was informed that there was no permanent fix for the defect. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,800.

Brand new '24 GLC300 4MATIC. Engine light came on with no error message. Brought it in for service. Miscellaneous engine repair states: "Found current code POA7F00 in drivetrain control unit. Followed LI54.10-P-077250. Cleared codes. Drained 48V battery to below 25% SOC. Charged vehicle to 70% SOC. Job complete." Service foreman mentioned that the service performed may not resolve issue. He contacted Mercedes-Benz Engineering and said no fix at this time and no ETA. Left service with no more engine light on. However, it didn't take long, and the engine light came on again. I called service again, and I was asked to take the car back in to be sure it is not anything else. Took my vehicle back, and service foreman diagnosed the issue. Code is the same as before with issues on the 48V battery. Service foreman is unsure of the exact issue. Mercedes-Benz Engineering did not provide details of the problem. I believe this issue poses a safety risk without knowing for sure what is the real cause and what might be the effects on the vehicle. This GLC is my family daily use, and it has become a big safety concern on the road. Service was very helpful and accommodating with my vehicle's issues. Unfortunately, fix is unknown from Mercedes-Benz to be able to resolve. I have also called the Mercedes-Benz Customer Care, 800-367-6372. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do. I've asked to open a case. Case # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2 SEPERATE ISSUE DIGITAL LIGHTING FAILED, THEN 2ND ISSUE WHICH IS STILL BEING WORKED ON, BEEN A WEEK WITHOUT THE VEHICLE WHICH IS ONLY A MONTH OLD WITH 1100 MILES ON IT, THE ENTITE SYSTEM ISNT WORKING WITH LOTS OF CODE ERROR MESSAGES AND WILL NOT START. THE CURRENT UPDATE FROM MERCEDES IS THEY STARTED A CASE AND TESTING THE VEHICLE AFTER REPLACING THE POWER TRAIN. THE TECHNICIAN AGREED THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR SUCH A BRAND NEW CAR. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILYS SAFETY AND THINK THIS IS A LEMON

After giving a pressure to the brakes, the car feels like the brakes are being slipped towards the end, so I have to hold the brakes hard at the end. I have tried different models of Mercedes such as E class but the brake of E class works exactly opposite from GLC 300. When I give a pressure to E class, first it will stop slowly and towards the end, it will stop more aggressively. When I drive GLC 300 on highway, I had to make several sudden stops because I couldn't estimate the brake range. I made several different people to drive my car, and they felt the same. I have reported to dealer right away, and they are saying it is normal. I even said E class brake system is away different from GLC 300 brake system and they are saying I cannot compare different class cars but have to compare same class cars. I think I have to compare GLC with different class of cars so that I could know the GLC has problem from manufacturing.
