What 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 E 4matic owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving at slow speed (approx 27 mph) on an inclining road, the automatic braking system when off and abruptly slowed down the vehicle. Fortunately there was no one immediately behind my car and there was no apparent reason for the emergency braking. The sidewalk did have a person with a dog off to the right at the time but they were completely away from the car walking on a sidewalk. This could have been dangerous if someone was driving immediately behind my car.
Brand new car Engine light also went on and off 3 or more times in one day, car had a charging failure wouldn't charge - Sold me an unsafe vehicle to drive - shaking tires, steering wheel, Car also has 13 codes including engine and transmission failure communication codes - multiple attempts to resolve the matter and the service team wanted me to sign a release of liability and were refusing to change the tires or make the vehicle safe. took the car to a 3rd party to get an accurate assessment - also for the record this was the second unsafe car they sold me the first car needed new axles and apparently was in the service line and someone closed the tickets out and i was sold a different vehicle. Then we could hear extra sounds when driving the car and not able to accelerate well on the highway - after bringing the car back in they found out it needed new tires, axles and a lot of work. They reversed the sale but I was not expecting to have any more problems therefore I opted for a brand new car. The car started alerting uneven tires and road traction on day 1-3 i brought the car back and they said it just needed a reset of tire pressure etc. the problems persisted and the tires and steering wheel were shaking while driving - it started off worse at higher speeds but now can happen at all speeds even as low as 45 mph and 35 miles per hour. made multiple attempts with a case with MBUSA and This Littleton location kept denying there was anything wrong with the car until it was proven with a 3rd party company. Mercedes benz endangered my life and my family's life with this situation and we are fortunate that. We want to be treated fairly as they treat all their customers despite their race, color and origin. they have continued to make things difficult and failing to address the issues. I have been back and forth to the dealer 8 times in the past 3 months for a brand new vehicle this is unacceptable. They also were refusing to put new tires on the car to see if the
