This car has lot of issues with water pump, radiator leak, lot of engine problems. Oil leak it's got less than 100,000 miles. Radiator hoses leak. Car stopped on mass pike going to albany, NY took it to Benz of albany they said engine misfires needs engine replacement and it would cost $47,000 to replace. Very very bad engines. I left a voicemail on Benz customer service and no one called back or send me any type of recalls. Very bad service.

GL450

My child, who is 11, can not sit in the rear seats of this truck without the shoulder harness sliding across his neck, a terrible situation should an accident occur. His head is forced downward by the head rest in either the up or down position. Given the position of the head rest, even a booster seat is ineffective. The vehicle is equipped with "power easy entry" option which makes removing the headrests impossible (vehicles without this option have removable head rests). The dealer, after seeing my child in the seat, also agreed that there is a significant safety so, at its expense, removed some parts of the "power easy entry" option so we could remove the headrests. The manufacturer needs to address this safety issue.
