2010 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK350 Complaints

The rear sub frame corrosion which caused the back tire of the driver side to fail off and lose control of the vehicle, which put myself and other drivers in harm because of lost of vehicle. The rear sub frame has corroded sooner than it's lifecycle. The dealership has confirmed the issue, inspected the part and has replaced. There were no warning lights that have gone off on the vehicle to notify of the issues. Driver hit a pot hole and the frame cracked due to premature corrosion.

Due to the same defect Mercedes issued a recall for on the 2011 GLK, the fuel and sender pumps cracked due to a product defect causing gasoline to leak out of the vehicle as well as into the vehicle. The leak is near the exhaust causing a high degree of risk for car fire. Online research reveals numerous 2010 GLK owners with the same issue at various points in the life of the vehicle.

When my child was riding in the same car with me, my car suddenly died due to all fuel leaked out. Our car ran out of gas because all fuel were leaked. We can smell gas inside the cabin. Initially I thought car died because we ran out of the gas. After receiving 2 gallon gasoline from the tow truck, we saw dripping gasoline from the bottom of the car when the car engine is on. I am glad it did not happen to me on the highway or there was no fire sparkles near by. My car is only 110K miles with no accident record. I do not expect a car has a defective hazard like this. People could be killed. We took the car to the dealership. Fuel Pump Assembly 221-470-17-90-28 and Fuel Filter Unit221-470-17-90-28 will be replaced. Benz has recalled 2011 model. I have news below, " The specific models are the 2011-2012 C300, GLK350, E350, S400 Hybrid, S550, S63 AMG, CL550 and CL63 AMG, but only those built from April 18, 2011, through July 12, 2011. Mercedes says there are some 5,800 vehicles affected by the latest recall in the U.S. the unit may crack when operated in high temperatures. This may cause fuel to leak, which could then cause a fire." My question is, why my 2010 model was not recalled? They were using same parts. If my car's parts has the defect, which caused "fuel to leak, which could then cause a fi re." for just under 110K miles, why nhtsa does not do anything to prevent this happen? If you search "Fuel leaking benz" , you will see tons of consumer complains. I could have ended up die if I was not lucky. Fuel pump is a critical part, it should not drip gasoline. Can you force Benz to take action before people died?

My Mercedes GLK350 2010 (90K miles) has the same issue as mentioned in https://media.mbusa.com/releases/mercedes-benz-usa-announces-voluntary-stop-drive-recall-campaign-for-certain-model-year-2006-2012-ml-gl-and-r-class-vehicles but not included in the list of vehicles being recalled. This vehicle was taken to 'Ray Catena of Freehold, NJ' for checking and they identified the same issue - brake lines are corroded and leaking and brake pedal goes to floor and not effective at stopping (soft brake pedal). So I have exactly the same symptoms as mentioned in the recall notice for ML-, GL- and R-Class vehicles produced for the 2006-2012 model but my 2010 GLK is not included - hence requesting that GLK 350 to be included in the recall and this brake issue fixed by Mercedes Benz.

On September 20, 2021, my steering wheel locked will driving into shopping center in Stockton, CA., I called AAA towing service to tow my car to Mercedes-Benz of Stockton for repairs. I'm glad to say no one was behind me while driving. It locked without any notice, near by customers to the center pushed my car to safety. Thank you.

Two fuel tank leaks that are a fire hazard. First one was around fuel pump, cracks in plastic flange. Had repaired with a sealant. Recently another leak around the filler tube. Leak around passenger side rear wheel when filling tank. Strong smell of gasoline if not completely filled to cause leak. I would think a dangerous fire hazard. I see recalls for other year models, but not 2010, even though basically identical.
