2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Consumer Reviews

4000 miles 28 days in the shop
I got my Glc 43 amg in July. 4000 miles in they are saying that there is misfiring and an issue with my fuel injectors. Car has been in the shop for 28 days now “waiting on parts” Car was great before it broke down. Not something I expected to deal with buying an AMG. What a joke
Loud Rearview Camera
I have a 2024 GLC SUV. Note that the Coupe does not suffer from the following problem. The rearview camera is mechanical. It deploys when put in reverse (that’s fine) but also deploys when you slow below 14 mph. It then retracts at 22 mph. It makes a quite loud thunk when it does this and to me is beyond annoying. The camera in the 2025 is the same part number and behaves the same way. MB says this is by design so you know the camera is working. Pause and re read that last sentence. That should tell you all you need to know about MB quality these days. Spend some time in the GLC Owners Facebook page. That will also enlighten potential owners of all the myriad of issues with this vehicle. Caveat Emptor.

2025 GLC 300 Fear for Life
I leased a new 2025 GLC 300 AWD in October 2024, securing it while in a boat from Germany. I leave in a mountain town, three hours from the dealer. On the first drive, the radio and computer-related parts went in and out. Then, the computer wouldn’t load-forcing me to drive without knowledge of speed, phone pairing or Mercedes emergency contact. The system was rented at dealer and on the way home it happened again. They took the car for two months, first noting the wires didn’t connect and had to be replaced. Then, after that didn’t solve the problem, they installed a new computer. To do these repairs, the car had to be taken apart. All the while, I am leasing and making payments for a car I don’t have. I now have it back and the car jumps when stopped, strange messages appear in the screen. This car is a mess and Mercedes won’t take it back as AZ Lemon Law doesn’t include leases. Ironically, the car was suppose to go to a dealer in a state that does cover leased lemons. Mercedes is hiding behind a flaw when their vehicle is not safe to drive. After 5 Mercedes, I am crushed at their treatment and driving a car I have no idea is safe. Will the airbags deploy? Will my emergency system work when needed? Is the cruise control working or will go out of control.
2024 GLC 43 | Don't have high hopes
Vehicle has about 1500 miles and already nervous that it will turn into a lemon. Sold our Acura RDX for the GLC 43. The RDX we put 53k miles on and NOT ONE ISSUE. We change the oils, cabin filter, transmission service and one set of tires. We didn't even have to change the brakes in 53k miles! Don't know where to start. I will start by saying once up to speed the vehicle drives great. Vibration noise: when taking my foot off the brake say when the light turns green before hitting the gas I had a vibration noise you can hear in the cabin. Took it back and the salesman and they pulled it in to the shop and took some plastic covers and screwed them back on and the noise went away. Plastic ratting noise: after the car sits for at least two hours upon start up at idle there is a plastic flapping noise coming from the passenger front of the car. After driving the noise goes away but I can't imagine it's normal. The actual engine idles fine but there is a secondary noise. Acceleration: when we first took the car home the car had zero power when starting off and first gear in comfort mode. The dealership must've filled up the car with regular gas (87) The first time I put gas in the car I put 93 and the issue got a little bit better but still the vehicle lacks power when starting off in first gear. the fist few seconds starting out in fist gear it really lacks power and sometimes the transmission feels confused, shakes and bucks especially before the car is up to operation temperature even though the car is never actually cold because I live in South Florida. The lack of power actually gives me anxiety because I feel if I have to step on the gas to get out of a situation (like a car coming faster than expected) it really lacks power the first few seconds. Not sure if this is due to the hybrid system/electric turbos but all of this electrified stuff is new to me and I kind of wish I bought a vehicle without any type of hybrid system. Radio volume issue: The sound of the radio goes up when I speed up and goes down when we slow down. We have been through the vehicle Settings dozens of times in the last month and there is absolutely no way to turn this feature off. I have even called customer service and in their system it is showing several different options how to turn this feature off however this feature is not programmed into the infotainment system. Every time we come to a red light the volume goes down every time we start driving the volume goes up. There is absolutely no way to turn this off Even though customer services system shows there is. Seems like they forgot to program it into the system. I brought the car back to the dealer I bought the car from and the salesman can't even resolve the issue. If there is no software update and there's no feature that means I'm not gonna be able to turn this off ever so I'm stuck with a vehicle that the volume automatically goes up when I speed up and goes down when I slow down. I can't believe I'm saying this but I have a service appointment in a few days. It's amazing I just paid $70,000 for a vehicle and have to bring it in for service. I really hope that they don't charge me to look at the vehicle. Besides the issues I mentioned the card does drive well once it's going. Handles extremely well too I'm just not happy with the things mentioned
Own it for more than a year, fantastic car !
High quality interior, good infotainment, fuel efficient, comfortable ride and high acceleration. I love it ! Owned since July 2023.
