The infotainment and instrument panel screens blacked out after the vehicle was started a few miles away from our home. I was unable to see the speedometer while driving back home. This was the first time that this has happened to us. After a Google search of Mercedes Benz 2025 GLC 300, this event appears to be fairly common.
When I entered my vehicle after it was washed at the Mercedes-Benz service location, I pressed Memory 1 button and the seat returned to my normal position. Without any further input, I started the engine, and the driver's seat automatically moved backward by itself. When I readjusted the seat and shifted into Drive, it continued moving rearward. As the seat moved backward, my feet could no longer reach the brake pedal. At the same time, the car began to move forward, and I lost control of the ve

The entire main console display AND the digital instrument cluster screen have completely frozen. Additionally, the gas gauge for how much fuel is in the vehicle is nowhere to be found. Temperature touch controls (no physical option), volume, car settings (which can adjust safety features, multimedia features, accessibility features), etc. are all completely unavailable and unable to use. For example, if the defrost option was on which defaults to full blast heat, I wouldâve unable to turn i
The brakes did not function at all. Upon trying to brake, the brake pedal was hard and the car would not stop. The car went into s storefront where the cashier is located and could have resulted in serious injury or death to anyone waiting to pay at the store.
