Engine light. Told by Mercedes mechanic it is a code P052E - positive crankcase ventilation regulator valve issues that can cause engine to seize while driving. Repair cost $2,500+

- Easton, MD, USA

After noticing my engine light come on, I had my vehicle checked out, the dealer informed (after spending $250) that the problem is the crankcase ventilation and it's a common problem. It seems the oh so familiar crankcase ventilation system is not working. This is a common problem with the GLC300 and Mercedes Benz needs to correct it. The engine is not being ventilated properly and the overwhelming smell of gasoline engulfs the interior of the vehicle. This is putting mine and the life of my family at risk, due to a faulty manufacturer issue. Mecedes Benz needs to obviously correct the faulty parts they use as soon as possible, before someone loses their life.

Engine light - crankcase vent valve issue

- Manchester, NJ, USA

The Positive Crankcase Ventillation harness fails and check engine light goes on. Through my research I found that many C class and GLC class with same engine have had similar issues and there was a recall and covered. My particular VIN was not included in the recall but had this check engine warning sign before 50K miles warranty expires. The light always went away but now it has come back on for the third time and not going away. The cost to replace this simple module is mostly labor at 8 hours is around $2,000. I believe this is an emission component and need to be covered under state and federal emission standards warranty. The initial recall with this issue should be involved with same engine and cover all cars and SUV's with same engine. I do believe this is an Emission control device that is regulated by state and federal standards and should be covered under warranty.

engine light caused by Crankcase pressure sensor

Catastrophic engine failure at 63,000 miles. Mechanic says its a known issue with this particular make and model of that year. Dealer says I need to replace the engine.

- Richmond, TX, USA

Getting error code P052e which has been a very common issue with these engines on Mercedes models. It does not affect driving but since it-??s out of warranty, it will cost over $3,000 to repair. Mercedes knows this and included it on their extended warranty for Diesel engines, not gasoline.

- Los Angeles, CA, USA

I was suggest by dealer to replace crank case vent value as its blocked and quoted $300 for part and 1800 for labor cost as they need to remove whole engine and replace part. Issue is how can mercedes benz design such engine with 6-7 hrs of labor intensive work and 6 times higher labor cost than part cost. I was told this work is necessary for engine efficiency and to pass SMOG test. I feel design issue is related to car / passenger safety and environment hazard. Also it looks like a very common recurring issue with mercedes models based google search. Added to it local dealer didnt find a problem when my car is under warranty or within service packages. Warranty completed and came up with these problems.
