My friend's 2008 GL450, 27K miles, caught on fire last Friday 09/27/09. It happend exactly as you described....(The fire started under the passenger seat and fully engulfed the car in less than 5 minutes. First, a funny smell, then some smoke, and then the fire) and it bursted into flames before the fire brigade arrived. Luckily, the car was on the driveway outside ... Read More...

I recently purchased a White 2008 GL450 for my wife with P1, rear seat entertainment, leather package, etc. We were dissapointed with the fact that the Harman/Kardon system kept malfunctioning and the rear seat entertainment had horrible movie quality. In addition, the COMMAND system was REALLY BAD, my wifes old Honda Oddysey had a better system and that was ... Read More...

I am having so many problems with my 2007 GL. Now Mercedes does not want to cover the problems under warranty. My biggest concern is the computer located under the seat near the battery. It has malfunctioned and shut the vehicle down 2 times in a 3 week period and had to be towed to the dealership. This computer also works my windows and they roll up and down without ...

Wow. Everyone seems to have the same problems. We have (had?) a 2007 GL450 with about 12k miles on it. Tailgate problems....check. Air suspension problems...check. Car spontaneously bursting into flames while parked in a driveway...check. Oh wait, that may be a unique problem. But it did happen to my wife last week. If I knew how to post photos here, I would. ... Read More...

Reliability Issues...

Written by: SuperDud on Jan 03, 2009 04:35 PM

I have a 2007 GL450, at around 28,500 miles. So far we've had many issues with this car, but not within the last six months. The car had many air suspension issues within the first 10,000 miles, and the dealer had so many problems with similar Gl450's that they ran out of parts for the suspension (luckily that was covered under warranty). Electrical problems also ... Read More...

I have not driven the new Tahoe. If it is no better than the 2007 you can have it. They are no way as solid built as the GL from Mercedes. Not sure if the Tahoe is built in Canada or Mexico. The Mercedes is built in the USA. I am renting an Equinox as they did not have my Trailblazer for me when I got here. It is a tinny piece of junk. I was a GM buyer from 1988 till 2005. GMC has gone ... Read More...

Got it at Tysinger in Hampton. Wife flew done and drove it back yesterday; it was the last '07 they had. We searched autotrader for new 2007s and found a bunch. We also considered a barolo red with similar package from Mercedes of Austin Texas and an Iridium Silver at Valencia MB in California. Dealers can arrange shipping to your home. Shipping from Texas is about ... Read More...
