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.

Emergency brake fails to release. If released brake cannot be applied because it freezes. Brake was used regularly when in park as prescribed. Brake was also excersized according to procedures on p. 165 of the 2012-3 glk owners manual. Underbody of car was gently washed periodically to flush any salt etc. From exposed brake lines as per manual when car was washed on a regular basis. Now it cannot be applied in emergency situations. There is no visible corrosion on the brake lines. This is a known problem with mbusa 2012 -2015 glks. Result" one e cannot apply the emergency brake in an emergency situation. This is a know problem with c and glk class cars that mbusa refused to recognize. It maybe a problem with the linkage in the firewall. Again this is a safety problem in an emergency. Car is always garaged.
