What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 mercedes-benz glc300. While driving 5 MPH, the brakes malfunctioned without warning. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle surged forward independently. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the contact's barn. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained severe whiplash to the neck and wrist pain from the crash. Medical atttention was required.
Squealing brakes! At around 6k miles the brakes starting squealing. It was very loud and embarrassing. We took it in and they replaced the brakes, the issue still persisted. We've since been told the manufacturer accidentally packaged the defective brakes so our defective brakes were replaced with another set of defective brakes.
