2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC300 Complaints

VEHICLE KEY-LESS ENTRY LOCKED OUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WITH KEYS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. TALKED TO OTHER MERCEDES GLC300 OWNERS AND THEY ARE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT WITH MY WIFE AND 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN A HIGH CRIME AREA WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN. MERCEDES ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CHARGED US $99.95 TO UNLOCK VEHICLE. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND ADDRESSED BY MERCEDES IMMEDIATELY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I-5 INTO DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO WE HEARD A LOUD BAM, A MOMENT LATER HEARD CRACKING THEN SHATTERED GLASS FROM MY SUNROOF FELL INTO THE CAR. THERE WAS NO ONE DIRECTLY AROUND US.

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT UP IN FLAMES WHILE DRIVING,MY WIFE SWITCHED OFF THE IGNITION AND GO OUT OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A BIG HOLE AND MERCEDES AUTHORIZED DEALER SIAD THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. THIS CAR IS NEW PURCHASED ON OCTOBER 31ST 2016 MB SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE AS IT IS IN WARRANTY, BUT SENTIMENTALLY WE ARE SO UPSET , IF THE FIRE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON TO GAS TANK. PLEASE SUGGEST. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND SHE WAS DRIVING AT LESS THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SHE NOTICED BURNING SMELL AND IMMEDITELY FUMES WERE COMING FROM THE AC VENTS. PLEASE SUGGEST OUR OPTIONS IN THIS CASE

I HAVE EXPERIENCED RECURRENT BUT INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION/ACCELERATION OF MY MERCEDES GLC 300 2017. TODAY, AFTER I WENT UP AND THEN DOWNHILL, THE CAR SLOWED DRAMATICALLY ON ITS OWN. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE. IN THE MEANTIME, I WAS WORRIED I WOULD BE REAR-ENDED BY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THIS SAME SPOT (WHICH I DRIVE NEARLY DAILY) IN THE PAST, SUGGESTING GOING OVER THE HILL HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT (E.G., ONCE, IN THIS SPOT, WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, THE CAR JERKED SO STRONGLY WHEN IT STARTED TO GO THAT MY DAUGHTER THOUGH WE WERE INDEED REAR ENDED). ALTHOUGH THIS SPOT MOST OFTEN REVEALS THE PROBLEM, THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON FLAT AREAS AS WELL. FOR INSTANCE, PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER, I SIMILARLY FOUND THE ACCELERATOR NON RESPONSIVE. DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO TENNIS ONE DAY, THE CAR REPEATEDLY JERKED DRAMATICALLY WHEN SHIFTING, PRIMARILY IN 2ND AND 3RD. GENERALLY, THE ISSUES SEEM TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY IN THESE GEARS. ALTHOUGH THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO CONSISTENTLY TAKE LONGER TO SHIFT IN THESE GEARS, THE MORE DRAMATIC PROBLEMS DO NOT HAPPEN DAILY, MAKING IT HARD TO TROUBLE SHOOT (WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER, THEY RAN THEIR COMPUTER TESTS, AND COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEMS). I AM WORRIED, THOUGH, THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY BE REAR ENDED OR OTHERWISE HAVE THIS PROBLEM LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN SOME OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE IN ONLINE FORUMS, AND HOPE NHTSA CAN CHECK INTO OR AT LEAST TRACK IT.

I PURCHASED A MERCEDES GLC 300 2017 IN SEPTEMBER IN DELRAY BEACH AND WHEN I APPROACHED 3500 BREAKS STARTED TO SQUEAL. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER NEW BREAKS. THIS WAS 2 MONTHS AGO AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET NO FIXES AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN AWARE THAT MANY CONSUMERS HAD COMPLAINED PREVIOUSLY. THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND THAT THE PARTS ARE COMING FROM GERMANY ETC. I BET YOU IF THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL A CAR THEY WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT CAR FASTER THAN MY BREAKS. CAR IS STILL SQUEALING AND WAITING FOR A FIX. MERCEDES SLOGAN IS THE BEST OR NOTHING ELSE ?! WELL..... DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST EXPIRIENCE.
