2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 27 of 27, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was getting of the highway when i heard a knocking sound. I pulled off the road and had my vehicle towed to my mechanic. According to my mechanic. I need a new motor because of a weld failure on the crankshaft.
The contact owns a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250. The contact stated when the vehicle was started, the check engine warning light illuminated, and there were fumes from the exhaust entering the cabin of the vehicle. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.
Crankcase Vent Value defect
Positive crankcase ventilation regulator valve preformence I know alot people have same problem
We own a 2015 Mercedes GLA. There has been a voluntary extended warranty due to a known issue on their end for years with this very expensive fix on low mileage cars. The voluntary extended warranty for this issue is not including the GLA class, when Mercedes has known this is a known issue and defect with their vehicles at the detriment and safety of the owners who unknowingly have to deal with this. I am writing to encourage the NHSTA to have Mercedes be accountable for this issue outside of the complaints related to the C class.
The car had only 71,000 miles on it when it it had a crank no start situation that immobilized it and had to be towed. After diagnostics at two repair shops, it was determined that the exhaust camshaft was the cause. This model year car has a recall (Mercedes campaign 2015100009 and the federal safety agency campaign 15V662000) for the camshaft but not for the car's VIN. This failure should not occur in a car with this mileage. Had it suddenly stalled while driving, it could have resulted in a potential accident.
The contact owns a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250. The contact stated while driving at approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled in the middle of the roadway. The contact stated there was an unknown message in RED displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the vehicle restarted after several attempts and operated normally. The contact stated that the failure became more frequent. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.
When I went to start my vehicle it did not turn on. The lights weren’t on and we had the battery and alternator checked out and they were fine.
It appears that when the turbocharger is engaged, coolant leaving the turbocharger is spraying from where a presumably now missing clamp would otherwise form a tight fit around the tubing, which is normally housed beneath heat shielding. The heat shielding has been displaced by the high pressure produced by the hot liquid. The liquid is so hot leaving the turbocharger that as it sprays out onto the surrounding areas it has melted the air intake system.
Check engine appeared on our dash board at 56,000 mileage and diagnosed with a problem of the auxillary electrical oil pump. This is the second time we have check engine after we are off warranty. I can also smell gas inside the cabin when I turned on the engine
I have mercedes benz gla 250 year 2015 and the engine light is already appearing in my dash board . I have only driven this car from home to work which is 10-20 miles away. Other issue I have is that when the weather is 30-40 degrees and will have my heater in max I smelt a terrible gas odor coming from my air vents
I have problems with my car when it's in "park" position and when it's at a red light or stopped. The car will accelerate slowly when it's at a red light or when turned on in park position. I took my car to mb in dallas (10/18) before warranty expired to check on the engine and the camshaft recall. After picking up my car, the same day, my car had the same problem and now it has the check engine light on. I have been taking my car to the dealer on and off for the last months to get this fixed. It's only 45k miles and I've never had this problem with other mercedes cars I've had. It is now 02/19 and the check engine came on again. I ask mercedes to seriously check on this problem it is dangerous to be at a red light then suddenly feel the car accelerate.
While driving and without warning, the car shifted itself into neutral and displayed the following error message: "transmission malfunction stop." I coasted to the side of the road and upon stopping, the following error message was displayed: "service required do not shift gears visit dealer." I turned the car off, restarted it, and it drove without incident. This has happened 5 different times: once on a suburban road, once in a parking garage, and three times on a city street.
Vehicle driven to mercedes benz (mb) dealer for performance problem. Mb diagnosis problem as engine water damage. Vehicle was never submerged, nor exposed to large puddle of water. Mb reported engine replacement required as a result of water damage. No electrical or water damage to body reported. Mb took no responsibility for engine replacement although this model vehicle reported history of fire risk if attempts to restart after driving through water. Vehicle mileage approximately 25k. I have purchased five mb since 2002 with no issue until this model gla 250 2015 vehicle purchased used from dealer in 2016.
Transmission violently engage in reverse: so far I have only experienced this (twice) during cold-starts. Started the engine, shift car in to reverse gear, disengage parking break. In normal situation, the car would reverse slowly without applying throttle. In the two times I experinced the problem, the car would still be idle, even after gently applying throttle. After about 5 seconds or so, the car would violently jerk and the transmission finally engaged in reverse. The local mb service center was not able to diagnose the issue. Some gla owners also experinced the same issue, which can be found in this discussion: http://www.glaowners.com/forum/engine-technical-discussion/8297-transmission-woes.html here is the video that illustrates my experience, from another gla owner: https://youtu.be/gln7kpgxyb4
