2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 94 evidence records for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (832 records, model years 2007–2016) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), suspension and electrical system.
- Manufacturer communications (811 records, model years 2007–2016) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
