The contact owns a 2008 MERCEDES BENZ GL450. The contact stated their vehicle had a warning light that stated the seat belt on the passenger side had failed. The vehicle was included in a recall NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V315000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) could cause additional issues with the vehicle's seat belt. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired for the seat belt. The manufacturer was not made aware. The approximate failure was unknown. The contact also stated that the 3rd row seat will not go down all the way and the issue also pops up on the dashboard.

Purchased 2008 cpo gl-450. Unfortunately for me I have had numerous incidental/consequential repairs which does not coincide with the marketing specific performance. The following are the current repairs: Crack in rear bumper 10/22/12, faulty rear hatch 11/01/12, faulty door 2/4/13, engine piston leak 3/5-19/13, , system stereo/navigation failure 5/13, fuel smells 7/6/13, steering wheel replacement 3/14, garnish molding replacement, air pressure shocks malfunction 3/14, and seat belt failure 6/14. And I am to believe my vehicle passed a cpo inspection with all these noticeable failures. As a consumer, I was willing to sacrifice extra costs for quality and reassurance; instead I experienced a defect in ??truth-in-advertisement. I have 4 months left on my extended warranty(you can only purchase Mercedes Benz warranty if you buy a cpo Mercedes Benz vehicle ;which are extra added fees to the cost/price of the vehicle.), if not properly addressed, I believe this type of exceptional circumstance of auto sales/performance and business practice will grow and transfer severe financial hardship on any/ and all consumers.
