2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS-Class

The fuel rail system failed on the passenger side of the engine and leaks. This is the same issue seen on, but VIN number isn't apart of it: Campaign No. : 2022030003 CA DMV. : 220303 NHTSA ID 21V961 I have taken the vehicle to a Mercedes dealer twice for the concern of smelling gas. The second time I had a video but the service tech couldn't replicate the leak. This safety concern pose a great risk as the gas could come into contact with a hot surface and ignite but passenger at HIGH risk. The problem has taken to the dealer twice with video showing the leak., however they cannot reproduced confirmed/replicate it. No the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the police, insurance representatives or others? But has been taken to the dealership, not the manufacturer. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?Just when it leaks there is a strong gas smell as well as a visual of where the leak is coming from.

The sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving down the interstate. No other cars involved and no rocks or debris caused it. It was inspected and repaired at a Mercedes dealer, however, Mercedes refused to cover the repair under the pre-owned certified warranty. We had to file an insurance claim. In doing research, it appears this is a common and ongoing problem with various models of Mercedes.

The vehicle, 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS450, was being backed out of the garage when an electrical failure occurred causing the vehicle to malfunction. This was a major safety issue that caused the entire vehicle electrical control systems to fail as the vehicle would not turn-off. The vehicle eventually turned-off and was not operational. It was towed to a local dealer where we were they discovered that a heating/cooling system hose caused moisture to enter the cab of the vehicle. The end result was major electrical damage to the vehicle control system of the vehicle. This vehicle is my wife's primary means of travel along with our 4 young children. Had this major malfunction occurred while on a highway going at high speeds a parish the thought of what could have happened to the safety of my wife and children. Per attached dealership bill, the dealership was not able to obtain coverage for this $4,255.15 repair bill. In addition, I did find other Mercedes-Benz GLS450 models who were recalled for this very safety issue where moisture in the cab resulted in major electrical control systems of the vehicle.

On numerous occasions the transmission does not fully down shift to the next lower gear and then when I have to accelerate quickly it will drop down to the lower gear like it’s supposed to but won’t shift out to the next higher gear and when I let my foot off the accelerator the truck slows down quickly like applying the brakes which almost had me rear ended a few times and now the adaptive cruise control is malfunctioning

I am writing to escalate an unresolved service issue with my 2020 Mercedes Benz GLS 450, VIN [XXX] . During a maintenance service on March 6, my trusted independent services shop for 25 years, Carrera Motors in San Mateo CA, identified that the electrical harness of my GLS 450 was significantly damaged. The plastic casing around the wires had effectively disintegrated, exposing the wires directly to the engine. Carrera Motors indicated that this was a serious issue and does not normally occur with a 5 year old vehicle. They encouraged me to contact Mercedes directly. At the instruction of Carrera Motors, I contacted Mercedes customer care on March 10 and was issued a case number (#[XXX]) for the harness issue. She mentioned that someone would get back to me within 3 business days. Unfortunately, 3 days went by without a response. I called and left 3 messages over the next 2 days. Finally, MBUSA returned my call and instructed me to take the car to an authorized Mercedes dealer. At my own expense, I had the car towed from Carrera Motors to Autobahn Motors in Belmont CA on March 18. Mark Nissen at Autobahn was responsible for the service of my vehicle. He and his services team have verified that the electrical harness was seriously damaged and needs to be replaced at a cost of $5,009.99. Replacement is considered critical, and it’s been identified as a serious safety issue. This issue has not been resolved.

On a long road trip - about halfway on [XXX] - received an error message on 48v system malfunction - immediately called nearest Mercedes dealership (Richmond Va) to schedule a service - while on the line received an engine overheating pull over and shut it off message - at this point vehicle deaccelerated over riding my control of vehicle speed. Had to navigate from far left lane to right hand emergency lane at 40 mph - very dangerous maneuver as losing power. Vehicle was towed and received a 48v software update - software that deaccelerates the vehicle with no override for safety is a real problem INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The shock absorbers have prematurely failed as other recalled 2020 GLS vehicles, but our VIN is not showing under the recall campaign 20V329000. Can our vehicle be included on this recall?
