My car is 4 months old and in the shop for the second time for the same check engine light. 1st time in the shop for 7 days. Had it back a week and then the check engine light appeared again. This time it remains in the shop and it has been there over 9 days. Time to replace with a reliable vehicle.

GLC 350e PHEV

We we custom ordered a new 2025 GLC 350e last summer and received it in November. We were going to finance it but the dealership talked us into leasing it instead so we did that and so glad we did as this PHEV has had one issue after the other. Surprisingly, none of the issues are with the engine which has been perfectly fine so far. It’s nice being able to drive mainly on electric and I’ve only had to put some gas in 3 times in the last 5 months or so. Power is adequate but by no means is it fast, even when the gas engine kicks on. All of our issues stem from the brakes and the interior build quality, which I thought was supposed to be MB’s specialty. When we took it for its first test drive, there was a horrible rattle/buzz coming from the infotainment screen. Had to bring it in a few weeks later to get that fixed. Then there was a loud rattle coming from behind the dash - had to bring it in again. Then another time for excessively squeaking brakes, volume issues with the infotainment, and most recently, the sunroof switch stopped working. You get the picture. Let’s just say I’d be super upset if we actually went through and financed this. At least we know we can just return this at the end of the lease.

Quite Impressed!

I own a '25 GLC350e PHEV. After 6 months of ownership, I could not be happier with it! We plug in virtually every day at home and/or work and much of that is free. The car performs well in day to day usage. Only 1 tank of gas in over 4500 miles of driving. I believe we're averaging 84 MPGe. MB says 54 mile range, but the battery capacity shows 75 miles of battery range after each full EV charge, and that's been consistent. Vehicle is composed, quiet and handles reasonably well at the end of any given day. My belief is that the hybrid system is a wonderful compromise and very effective for us. We charge at home at both Level 1 and Level 2, and have used the DCFC capability as well, and that is especially impressive to utilize. Only short coming for us is the reduced rear cargo capacity because of the battery location. That being said however, it is still far more capable than sedans or hatchbacks and can be overcome with options in the marketplace. I will repeat this again: only 1 tank of gas used in over 4500 miles of driving in our situation i.e., with daily recharging!! At night after work, in the garage over night (or less time than that) based on usage. Could not be any easier.
