general problems of the 2010 Mercedes Benz GLK350

On [xxx], my mother was driving our 2010 mercedes-benz glk 350 to work around 6:30 am when the vehicle suddenly caught on fire without warning. The car was completely destroyed in the fire. Thankfully, she was able to exit safely. After doing research online, we found many reports of 2010 glk 350 models catching fire due to fuel system issues and leaks, which appear to be common with this year and model. We were surprised to learn that our VIN currently shows no active recalls, even though the issue seems widespread. We can provide photos of the car before and after the fire, towing documentation, and the police/fire report. The cleanup and towing bills have been expensive, and we are filing this report so NHTSA can investigate whether this is a safety defect that should result in an official recall. Vehicle: 2010 mercedes-benz glk 350 incident date: [xxx] location: mountville, PA VIN: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My 2010 glk 350 4matic first while taking my daughter to school one day my dashboard lights up and start making a alert sound ,my dashboards reads steering wheel malfunction/abs/ebs brake inoperative. Had it diagnosed and service tech couldn't find the problem related to this . He try to get me to fix my sterring wheel pump and coolant fan!! idk I didn't let the device tech do any work . I saw on you tube how to do a left right sterring wheel and the service code disappeared it been two weeks and it hasn't came on all. Now I got another service code srs airbag 2 malfunction/inoperative!! . When car is on it shows that air bag 2 isn't on !! this has to be a manufacturer error since not even the service tech knew what exactly trigger this to show on my dashboard.

On September 20, 2021, my steering wheel locked will driving into shopping center in stockton, CA. , I called aaa towing service to tow my car to mercedes-benz of stockton for repairs. I'm glad to say no one was behind me while driving. It locked without any notice, near by customers to the center pushed my car to safety. Thank you.

The vehicle is a Mercedes Benz dealership in raleigh, nc on capital blvd because it will not start. There's a steering lock problem and I was told that only certain VIN numbers is covered for this year, make and model. My vehicle has approximately 80,000 miles. I don't understand why this vehicle is not covered under the same recall (started Jan 25, 2019) being it's having the same issue at the same time as the other vehicles. The vehicle was at capital Chevrolet dealership and they had it towed to Mercedes Benz dealership and I was told it wouldn't start. Capital Chevrolet said that the mercedes dealership said it could happen at anytime and anywhere. I was told the cost is on me. After some research I found out theres a recall on my year, make and model but not my vehicle which is currently at the dealership with the same issue. Can someone explain why this very low mileage vehicle is having the same problem and myself and my grandchildren could lose our lives if it happened with us while occupying the vehicle, who would be responsible for the recall and our lives?.

Igntion issues.

I was driving my glk 350 on a road at 35 mph and suddenly my steering wheel got stuck and it wasn't moving I hit the brakes in the middle of road. I couldn't move my steering wheel and I turned off my car and tried to restart it and it didn't started. I checked my battery it was good. I looked online what was the problem and a lot of people had same problem with their glk 350 and only mercedes can fix it so I have to toe it to the dealership and it costed me $1850 it's just a way for them to make money but it could have got me into a serious accident that day.

Steering lock seized after car was parked. Unable to shift gears, turn ignition or start car. Cost $2000 to fix! the worst car ever!!.
