I pressed the "Park" button, but the transmission did not go into park. When I let my foot off the break, thinking that I was in Park, the car started rolling backwards. Thank God my wife was in the car and noticed the motion and shouted to me to break the car. I was able to stop the car before hitting anybody or anything, but it was dangerously scary.

Vehicle key-less entry locked out the driver and passenger with keys inside the vehicle while parked. Talked to other Mercedes Glc300 owners and they are experiencing same issue. This happened late at night with my wife and 7 year old daughter in a high crime area while I was out of town. Mercedes roadside assistance charged us $99.95 to unlock vehicle. This is a life threatening defect and should be acknowledged and addressed by Mercedes immediately.

This car is new purchased on October 31st 2016 mb says they will replace the engine as it is in warranty, but sentimentally we are so upset, if the fire would have caught on to gas tank. Please suggest. Vehicle was in motion and she was driving at less than 30 miles per hour when she noticed burning smell and immeditely fumes were coming from the ac vents.
