general problems of the 2013 Mercedes Benz GL450

I was driving along in my 2013 mb Gl450 with the m278 engine when the engine stopped. I had it towed to my home and checked it out. I had a suspicion the engine was seized. I eventually had to towed to my closest mb dealership for evaluation. The engine was seized. Their further investigation revealed that a wrong oil filter had been installed when the oil was changed 5 months and 3000 miles earlier. I tried to find out what this wrong filter would cause. I asked the dealership and then mb and got no response. I suspect if this filter caused the issue it would have been an oil pressure issue. The car gave no indication of anything wrong prior to engine seizing. I got no message on the display and when switching on the switch there is no indicator on the dashboard to indicate anything about oil pressure. There is no "oil can" that pops up red indicating an oil pressure issue. To this day have no idea why the engine seized other than an improper oil filter.

The engine failed under 100k miles after being properly maintained according to the manufactures guidelines.

2013 mercedes-benz Gl450; it started with the activation of the vehicle's check - engine light. The mercedes-benz service advisor diagnosed the issue as oil intrusion into the vehicle's engine wiring harness. The estimated cost to repair was quoted as $7,0000. 00. This resulted in the replacement of the engine wiring harness, four (4) lambda sensors, four (4) camshaft hall sensors and four (4) camshaft solenoids. This trouble could cause engine failure or misfire if not corrected. Driving the mb Gl450 in this condition is a safety issues for anyone driving on the road. Researching on the internet about mb Gl450/550 engine oil intrusion into the engine wiring harness is a common problem.

Engine harness wires contamination in me, cause sensors damage and engine problems to start up right normal dealer want to charge me 14k for service and repair , every time I start the car it sounds like it take time to start and I get the check engine evertime I start the car.

This is to report an event happened more than once before. The car engine syo suddently while traveling on highway at speed and must have the car pull over to the side of highway to restart again!!!.
