I was looking for a replacement for my 2011 GL450, and was getting tired of the poor user interface of the controls, hard to enter address on the navigation using the arrow keys, etc. The 2014 GL450 is exciting to drive. It is peppy, the controls are well laid out and the steering is light and responsive. The turn radius is tight, and a roomy interior. There have been a lot of small and steady improvements (see my list of favorite features below). It still feels solid (I had been hit by another car at 50mph on the driver side door in the previous GL and the solid door held up and protected me well). The technology and electronics has been updated also. Overall, a fun car to drive.

At 75,000 miles it died. 2 cylinders went bad. Mercedes wanted $30,000 to fix it. I proposed a 20% discount on a new one and Mercedes said "NO". No more Mercedes for me -- no value the $80,000 that In originally spent. I replaced it with a Lincoln Aviator.

If you are looking for a lemon or a garbage buy one . I own a 2014 . Within 3 years I spend $26000 to keep it runnin until the engine die completely and the dealer ask me $33000 to put a new engine on it. All kind of problems from new cylinder head , camshaft, valve, water pump, radiator, coil, heater core, air shocks, cooling hose, when I thought I was finish the engine die. I come to find out all of them give the same problem. Soon or later you will need a new engine. Be aware ask any shop that fix those trucks. Any salvage yard wants $12000 for a used engine. Do your homework before you buy any of those lemon truck. 2013 to 2017 and good luck if you own one.

2014 GL-450 62,000 miles and Blown Motor

It looks like my expectation for Mercedes quality and first in Class engineering was misguided. My babied 2014 GL-450 with 62,000 miles blows out the #1 piston. The lack of empathy was evident when the quote was given "$40,000 for the motor, $10,000 for the install, what would you like to do". When I said I would not and could not afford to pay for that he gave me 2 days to "get my car out of here". WOW!!! I'm pretty speechless. Now I own a beautiful 6,000 pound paperweight with a Mercedes emblem on the grill. Looks like need to buy a bigger desk.
