What are the common faults of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?
2 Answers
Here are the common fault types of Mercedes-Benz: 1. Brake friction pads: Over time, the friction pads wear below standard requirements, resulting in poor braking performance, and should be replaced promptly. Note that the friction pads on one axle must be replaced simultaneously. 2. Steering lock system: Improper operation can cause issues with the steering system, making the steering wheel unable to turn. Do not tow the vehicle in this state, as it can be dangerous. 3. Tire inflation pressure monitoring system: This warning light will illuminate if the tire pressure is too high or too low, or it may indicate that the information was not re-entered after a tire change. 4. Electric parking brake: When the indicator light is on, it means the handbrake is engaged properly and will turn off automatically when released. If the indicator light continues to flash, it indicates that the braking force is insufficient to prevent the vehicle from moving.
I bought a GLC260 last year, and the most annoying issue is the strong jerking sensation during low-speed gear shifts, which is unbearable in city traffic jams. Brake squeaking is also very common, and the sharp noise after each rain is downright embarrassing. The most severe interior rattle comes from the passenger door panel, creaking like a symphony during long drives. The scariest part was when the 48V mild hybrid system threw fault codes twice, causing sudden failure to start, which was only resolved after a software update. Additionally, the center display screen went black three times, with the navigation suddenly disappearing, forcing a reboot. I recommend everyone to regularly update the vehicle's infotainment system.
