Body problems of the 2010 Mercedes Benz GLK350

Corrosión en toda la parte trasera (subframe) que sujeta la suspensión haciendo el carro inestable a la hora DE detener el automóvil, y apaga los sistemas abs,esp. Lo cual lo hace mas peligrosa la conducción. Si Toyota hizo el cambio en sus vehículos con por que Mercedes Benz deberia comprometerse a repara esta parte. Ya que ES un riesgo a la seguridad.

Subframe of the car rusted and rotted from inside out. To the point of rear suspension completely detached from subframe. It caused my car to fish tail and lose control under even slow breaking conditions. Once we discovered the problem we were told the car was a death trap and was absolutely unsafe to operate. We found out this is a common problem for this mb model type. The problem was already under recall in europe. There are thousands of existing owner complains about the exact same issue. Mb USA initially refused to acknowledge the problem, but on 2/14/2023 they sent a memo to all us dealers to repair rotted subframe for free under "extended warrantee". However, they refused to pay for the full repair even after dealership specifically informed them that it was not possible to complete the repair without replacing thrust arm and rod, which were damaged due to the subframe failure. This incident endangered me and my family, cost $2000+ out of pocket for repairs in addition to the loss of access to my vehicle for at least 3 weeks.

I had my 2010 mercedes glk in for b service today (Jan. 3, 2023), and the repair team inspected the vehicle and informed me that I have a rust hole approximately 1" x 2" in size located adjacent to an attachment point for the wheels in the rear subframe. If it breaks, it could cause the vehicle to become difficult to control. Additionally, they informed me that the brake lines are also rusting/weakening. If the brakes fail while driving it could cause loss of control of the vehicle. Since these are hidden parts that I typically can't see, I had no warning that there was anything wrong until I had it in for routine maintenance. I have the invoice for the oil change, with a notation from the repair team regarding these parts. The vehicle is available for inspection should it be necessary.

Premature rear subframe corrosion due to design of component, vehicle is available for inspection upon request. If control arm detaches geometry of suspension will change and divert into another lane and cause a crash, the issue was confirmed by an independent service center. The vehicle is due to be inspected by the manufacturer 12-30. No warning of issue as the majority is covered by body panel.

The contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz Glk350. The contact called for the owner of the vehicle who stated that the vehicle was beginning to wobble while driving. The contact stated that he worked for a dealer where a certified mechanic observed the vehicle and diagnosed that the control arms were severely rusted and not seated correctly on the vehicle causing the rear subframe to be severely damaged and needing replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was unknown.

Acceleration/brake issue. On 09/0517 I pulled into my parking lot apartment complex and upon pulling into my parking spot, I attempted to back my 2010 mercedes 2010 Glk350 to align my car. I put the vehicle in reverse, but suddenly the vehicle accelerated backwards and crashed into a parked vehicle. I attempted to apply the brakes, but the vehicle did not stop. Before the accident occurred on my dashboard it displayed "check brake pads". I purchase this car on 08/16/17 and was informed that the vehicle has (2) safety recalls for 'takata" airbags. This unintended acceleration in my 2010 mercedes-benz Glk350 is alarming and concerning.

Sudden unintended acceleration probably due to accidentally hitting cruise control handle, which is right above turn signal (defective design issue in many mercedes models), when attempting to park in disabled parking area.
