On Saturday 12/6/25, I put my 15 year old cat in his carrier in the back seat and closed the door. I got into my car and opened my garage door. I started my MBGLC300 and began backing my car out of my garage. As soon as the car rear end cleared the garage, I heard an explosion "BOOM", and the sound of breaking glass. I pulled back into my garage only to find the entire back window had exploded... all the glass was gone, and the back windshield wiper was dangling out of its housing from the pane (trim). I hit nothing! Nothing hit me! I got back into my car and drove the 10 minutes down the street to my vet's where he got his shot and I had him combed out (for any glass - thank goodness there wasn't any). While there, I phoned Dick Dyer Mercedes Benz (803.828.6952) at 8:57 AM,and

My father was driving home from golf. He was driving for about 5 minutes. He was at a red light and smoke started coming out of the car. He turned car off, then on. Smoke started getting worse. He put on the emergency blinkers, got on the sidewalk, and looked underneath the car. Within a few minutes the car blew up. There were no warning lights and the car was driving normally. Car was brand new and was about 1 year old. 2022 GLC.

The rearview camera on my vehicle intermittently fails to function for unknown reasons, and the problem has recently become more frequent. For example, it may work normally when I first start the car in the morning and back out of my parking spot, but later the same day—such as when I arrive at work—the camera stops working completely. The display stays black and does not recover even after shifting between gears or restarting the system. After parking and locking the car for a while, the camera may start working again without any clear reason. Although I cannot recall the exact dates of the first occurrence, I have noticed a consistent pattern over time: the issue tends to appear during hot weather, particularly in summer. In recent months, the camera has almost completely stopped functi

The transmission intermittently shifts hard. When accelerating the car hesitates badly then lurches forward. The Dealer verified the concern, the transmission as a hard shift from 1-2nd. They performed various procedures to the hardware, but ultimately determined the problem is the software and that this is a known issue to Mercedes since early in the year. They have not been able to resolve the software issue. This creates a major safety hazard: 1. When changing lanes, the hesitation does not allow for proper acceleration creating a timing issue which could result in a collision 2. When crossing over lanes on a turn, the vehicle has stopped at a time, not accelerated and left me in the middle of oncoming traffic.

Mientras el vehiculo se encuentra en la carretera comienza a dar un fallo (halones y vibracion) y pierde la fuerza (velocidad) provocando la desaceleracion. Las luces en el panel se encienden y es necesario salirse de la via de rodaje inmediatamente para estacionarlo. Esto pone en riesgo la seguridad de los ocupantes del vehiculo y de los ocupantes de los demas vehiculos, ya que al desaclerarse repentinamente puede provocar que el vehiculo sea impactado por otro. Si nos encontramos entrando a otra carretera, que requiera hacerlo rapidamente, baja la velocidad y puede provocar ser impactado.

When driving at 40 to 60 MPH and hit shallow pot hole or bump in the road the front wheels violently shake and the steering wheel (electric steering) violently vibrates for 5 to 8 seconds. Dealer checked the vehicle and claims there is nothing wrong with it but did turn off the "attention assist" setting from sensitive setting claiming it was the cause. The issue still exists but not as violent. I'm concerned of loosing control of the car/my safety. FYI: never experienced this issue with my previous car (same car two years older ,2020 GLC 300).

I was driving home on a 4 Lane Expressway on a Saturday afternoon, it was mildly raining with the roads a little wet. I suddenly lost control of the car and could not control the steering wheel, the car ended up hydroplaning and I lost control it ping-ponged across four expressway lanes back-and-forth about 20 to 25 times with zero control of the steering wheel, barely missing the medians and other cars. It should have been a massive catastrophe. Cars around me you had to stop and swerve around me to avoid hitting me all while driving on the expressway. Had someone accidentally hit me in the process it would’ve certainly flipped the car and I would’ve either ended up dead or in the ICU. After several minutes somehow without moving the steering wheel, I managed to just go straight and pull

First Incident The first event occurred during light rain with mildly wet road conditions. Without warning, the vehicle hydroplaned and violently crossed all four lanes approximately 20–25 times, narrowly avoiding collisions with other vehicles and medians.

The contact owns a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. There was a misfire coming from the engine, and the vehicle lost motive power. In addition, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with spark plug failures, coils, and the transmission needed to be flushed. The vehicle was taken to an alternate dealer where the spark plugs and coils were replaced, and the transmission fluid was flushed. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who was a Mercedes mechanic, where it was diagnosed with misfire codes in cylinders #1 and #4

Multiple loss of power incidents while driving both on surface streets and highways. Causes vehicle to loss acceleration power, vehicle must be pulled over, shut down and restarted to regain power.

There is a constant acceleration failure where the car does not respond. Again today I was almost in a bad crash due to this. It is a known issue to many owners in Mercedes forums. It happens in any drive mode. Eco comfort sport. Extremely dangerous and the car should be recalled.

I was involved in a severe front-end collision where my vehicle struck another vehicle with significant force. Despite the major impact, the front airbags did NOT deploy. The entire front end of the vehicle was crushed, including destruction of the radiator, damage to engine components, internal structural collapse, and leaking fluids. Based on the severity and direct frontal nature of the crash, airbags should have deployed but did not. As a result of the impact, I sustained a neck and upper shoulder injury and required medical evaluation. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the crash indicating any malfunction in the airbag or SRS system. The vehicle is available for inspection by NHTSA, the manufacturer, insurance, or an authorized Mercedes-Benz service center. This appea
