The noise occurs both while idling and in motion. On several occasions, the coolant warning light illuminated while the noise persisted. The defect has worsened over time, becoming louder and more frequent.  Events & Safety Risks: The dealership repeatedly claimed \u201cno problem found\u201d because no warning lights appeared and no scanner codes were present, ignoring my time-stamped video evidence. At one point, I was advised to drive the vehicle from Morgan Hill, CA to the dealership while making the loud noise for diagnostics \u2014 an unsafe recommendation. When the coolant warning light appeared, the service department planned only to top off coolant. I insisted on a diagnostic, which revealed a coolant hose leak. Driving with a leak could cause overheating and sudden engine failure, creating a serious safety hazard for myself, my child, and other motorists.  Repair History: Multiple visits to Mercedes-Benz of San Jose (2024\u20132025) for the same defect. Each time, the defect was dismissed or not resolved. No meaningful repairs were performed. The issue persists today.  Evidence: Time-stamped video proof of defect, full service records, and documentation of correspondence with the dealership are available.  Safety Concern: This unresolved defect creates a risk of sudden engine failure or overheating while driving, potentially causing loss of control or stranding occupants in unsafe conditions.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"GLC 300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]}]}
