2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 Complaints

Vehicle sputter and coolant malfunction and engine light came on while driving ( 12-26-23) Took to dealer for some “ update”. After a few weeks of driving the vehicle sputter again and engine light came on again on the (1-19-2024 ) Drove home turned off , loud noises came from engine area. Tried to restart and failed a few times so we let it’s sit for almost an hour and it’s started again with engine light still on . Towed to Mercedes dealer and after long and frustrating times a week later per dealer it’s was the 48v hybrid battery that defective/ non functional. So far we been forced to drive the vehicle “as is” since Mercedes-Benz USA refused to let local dealer to order and replace the 48v hybrid battery. It’s been 2 weeks all informations we get from dealership is that we have to wait for Mercedes to come up with new software to update to which no time frame have been provided as to when software available. We’re experiencing terrible gas mileage MPG with the 48v battery basically non functional as moment

I have taken the delivery of this car on May 2023 and has been having many issues including but not limited to rear seatbelt malfunction that needed replacement.

Check engine light on, according to Mercedes Benz problem related to 48 V mild hybrid,I took twice car to the dealership ,they can’t reset check engine lights GLC 300 2023 With 3500 miles

I bought this car brand with 4800 miles directly from Mercedes a month ago. The check engine light has been on since the second week of ownership. The reason I’m submitting this report is because it’s been into warranty service 4 times. Each time Mercedes Benz says that it is a known issue affecting ALL GLC300 models. They also indicate that it is a software issue, but don’t have a patch for it. There are other things like Bluetooth, no radio audio, and the remote start that they are also attributing to this software glitch. However, the check engine light presents a MAJOR safety issue. Please force Mercedes to issue a software update recall to fix the incessant check engine light.

My car was in for a "Problem" Dec-2023 - would not accelerate /also getting very bad gas mileage and hesitation on accelerating. 1ST - Mercedes Benz said I got bad gas - they had the car for several days -Then they thought it was a computer issue - Later -after problem -I got a Safety Recall Notice # 23V456 stating "Fuel Pump Problem "told would receive Official Re-Call in February -Went back to dealer with same problem -was told wait for re-call -Called 1-800-367-6372 Mercedes Benz - spoke with "Heidi on Jan 3, 2024 [Case Number [XXX] ASKED IF THEY COULD EXPEDITE RE-CALL CLAIM BEFORE FEBRUARY - MERCEDES DECLINED - If the "Fuel Pump is an issue [and Dangerous ] why not expedite ""Parts"" Mercedes Dealer wasn't aware of Re-Call number 23V456 - INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This vehicle has now had three episodes where warning lights came on for no apparent reason. There have been two episodes of "Check Engine Light" coming on, the first with less than 1000 miles on the vehicle. It was driven to the dealer and they checked finding no problems and said not to worry about it. The second about two months later with an indication of "Excessive engine Temperature", but the engine was cold and just started, the fan was running very fast, but otherwise the vehicle was operable. Again, the dealer could find no problem and said to ignore it, but return if it recurred. Two months later, check engine light on again. Currently at the dealer for service for a third time. No faith in the reliability of this car with the reports of this leading to engine stalls and failure to start in other cars.

1.This is my new GLC 300 and after taking delivery and running for around 300 miles check engine light on my dashboard 2.Took it to Ray catena freehold service center and they kept this vehicle for 2 days and ran test and said no issues or no error codes found for the engine light 3. Service department said they cleared all the codes and updated the software and it should be good 4. After taking it from service center the check engine light is again on and its quite random 5. The check engine light goes off on its own and then pop up when i start again and its quite random 6. Worried whether this vehicle is road worthy or not 5. This all started when a message from the 12 v battery came in Mercedes me app saying its draining so start the vehicle after that this message is quite randomly coming
