I pressed the "Park" button, but the transmission did not go into park. When I let my foot off the break, thinking that I was in Park, the car started rolling backwards. Thank God my wife was in the car and noticed the motion and shouted to me to break the car. I was able to stop the car before hitting anybody or anything, but it was dangerously scary.

Owner report 11518213 · 2023-04-21 (April 21, 2023)

Intake and exhaust cam shaft and adjuster failure at 83,000 miles. Failure caused vehicle not to accelerate and stalled starts. Was on the highway when vehicle wouldn’t accelerate putting driver and others on road in danger. Repair on vehicle costing over $5k and MBUSA has no recourse due to vehicle being out of warranty. Per techs this issue should not happen to the engine.

Owner report 11631359 · 2024-12-18 (December 18, 2024)

Strong gasoline smell coming from the engine bay every morning at start up. I removed protective plastic lining from the under carriage to identify the issue. I identified a lot of gasoline dripping from the top portion of the engine compartment where the High Pressure Fuel Pump is located. There was no warning or check engine lights that alerted of this issue of a gasoline leak. This is very dangerous as it could cause the vehicle to catch fire.

2017 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 Coupe 27,700 miles. I was driving on MD I-95 when the Power Steering Malfunction warning light came on and I lost power steering. I got off the next exit. Steering was very difficult especially when the car slowed. The Mercedes Benz dealer is replacing the electronic steering power control unit, power steering motor and steering rack. Cost $4910. Mercedes Benz has had GLC 300 recalls for Power Steering Malfunction but not for my model year.
