Despite depressing the accelerator, the vehicle failed to maintain speed and stalled in active traffic. This created an immediate life-safety hazard, forcing me to navigate across multiple lanes without engine power to avoid a high-speed rear-end collision. The vehicle was released to me by Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn on April 16, 2026, following a repair for which I paid $2,134.94. The dealership diagnosed the issue as a wiring harness/sensor fault and formally certified the vehicle as \"Found OK\" and safe for operation. The catastrophic failure occurred only 22 minutes after I departed the dealership lot. The vehicle had to be towed back to the facility immediately. Upon the vehicle being towed back on April 16, the dealership admitted via recorded voicemail that the initial $2,134.94 repair was a misdiagnosis. They subsequently issued a new diagnosis for a \"Valve Body\" failure and a new quote of $6,424. The dealership's Service Director has since admitted the vehicle suffers from concurrent transmission and engine failures, rendering the car a liability. This represents a critical failure of the powertrain and electronic control systems. Releasing a vehicle that suffers a total power loss on a highway immediately after a \"certified\" repair is gross negligence. I am reporting this to NHTSA as a catastrophic failure of a safety-critical component (Transmission/Valve Body) that resulted in a \"dead-stick\" situation on a major New York thoroughfare, posing a severe risk to myself and other motorists. The vehicle remains at the dealership. Mercedes-Benz USA has offered only a $2,000 \"goodwill credit,\" which does not address the safety defects or the initial misdiagnosis. No recall has been initiated for this batch.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"GLC 300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11729435,"manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/05/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"04/06/2026","vin":"WDC0G4JB8KV","components":"VISIBILITY","summary":"The contact owns a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC300.

The edr shows I was going 5 miles an hour but then says pedal was pushed to 100%.  While traveling at approximately 4\u20135 mph during a low-speed maneuver, with light accelerator input, the vehicle unexpectedly surged forward. I did not intend to accelerate. The vehicle rapidly increased speed, left the roadway, struck a street sign and a planter, and the airbags deployed.  Event Data Recorder (EDR) data retrieved by the insurer (Mercury Insurance) shows the vehicle traveling at low speed immediately prior to the event, followed by a recorded 100% accelerator pedal position. This data does not reflect my driving intent and appears inconsistent with the low-speed conditions. The EDR documentation notes that accelerator pedal position is sampled asynchronously and reflects values transmitted to the SRS Control Module, not continuous pedal input or driver intent.  No brake input was recorded prior to the impact. The sudden acceleration occurred too quickly to react.  Mercedes-Benz inspected the vehicle and released only the EDR data, declining to provide further clarification regarding throttle control logic, pedal sensor correlation, or torque command behavior.  I am reporting this incident due to concern that low-speed throttle control behavior, software logic, or transmission engagement may result in unintended acceleration without corresponding driver intent, posing a safety risk during parking-lot or low-speed driving conditions.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"GLC 300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11700738,"manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/21/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"11/21/2025","vin":"WDC0G4KBXKV","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"The contact owns a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC300.

I immediately contacted Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance, and the vehicle was towed for inspection. Mercedes-Benz later claimed the fire originated in the engine compartment, yet took no accountability and cited \u201cmissing components\u201d as an excuse to avoid liability. Photographic evidence shows that the parts were present immediately after the fire. Mercedes-Benz denied that NHTSA Recall 21V961000 applied to this vehicle, despite clear similarity in symptoms (fire risk due to fuel or electrical issues). I was also never notified of any fire risk. Furthermore, towing coordination failures led to my vehicle being sent to a third-party lot, incurring unauthorized fees. Safety Concern: The spontaneous combustion of this vehicle presents a serious public safety risk. I am concerned this issue may be more widespread and underreported. Mercedes-Benz\u2019s failure to take accountability and deflecting blame could endanger other consumers. Desired Action: 1.

Thankfully, no one was inside, and no injuries occurred, but the property damage was significant.  I later discovered Recall 21V961000 / Campaign 2022030003 affecting some 2019 GLC300s for fuel leaks at the fuel rail/injector interface, which pose a serious fire hazard. Further research has shown reports of loose ground connections in these vehicles as well, increasing the risk of sparks igniting leaked fuel.

And it happens often on cars with under 50K miles on them and when it's just been out of warranty this is a small inexpensive part that the customer funds through the cost of labor.  Not that mechanics don't deserve their labor costs, but Mercedes ought to fix this is issue as it is borne by the consumer of a high end vehicle for a consistent, faulty part that they have engineered.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"GLC 300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11587477,"manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"11/20/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"05/07/2024","vin":"WDC0G4JBXKV","components":"TIRES","summary":"The four tires were replaced on [XXX] at 28,000 miles.

From the very start, I have experienced constant issues with my car, only to be met with a condescending attitude from all levels of senior staff members at the dealership and the service department. When I asked for solutions, their solution was to inform me that I was merely using my car door handle incorrectly to open it and activate keyless go. The repair department refused to acknowledge any mechanical faults and instead blamed me as the operator although I had no issues with operating any of their loaner vehicles. Mr. Max Spata eventually arranged one last attempt at repair, yet I was immediately denied service after the service department eventually received notice of my legal letter asserting my rights under the contract. Instead of making an attempt to remedy the solution as requested in that letter, the service department called and advised me that they were demanding the return of the loaner vehicle and that I must pick up my vehicle immediately. The service department then subsequently refused to make any attempts to repair the vehicle under warranty and have continuously made me feel as if my issues are invalid. Throughout the entire process, I have felt invalidated and belittled by their attempts to gaslight me in order to avoid responsibility for their faulty product. The vehicle has experienced several malfunctions, including but not limited to, the KeylessvGo Entry malfunctioning while attempting to enter the car, the vehicle locking without beingvprompted, and the vehicle failing to recognize when keys are inside, thus not allowing it to operate. Moreover, there have been several audio/muffled sound issues with the vehicle's radio system, which have significantly impacted my driving experience.
