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.

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.

Defective crackcase vent valve
- Cordova, TN, USA
The fuel line leaks directly under the driver seat. Filling the cabin with fuel vapors. Mercedes has an extended warranty for this problem but only on vehicles from 2004 to 2009.

P052E code, Positive Crankcase Ventilation Regulator Valve failed. It is a known issue by Mercedes Benz on its 2016 and newer C-Class and GLC class vehicles. The valve is clearly a manufacturer defect that is burdensome to the consumer as the part is located near the engine mount and prohibitively expensive to fix due to per hour labor rates. Hundreds if not thousands of consumers have been affected through no fault of their own.

While driving, the malfunction indicator lamp (mil/check engine light) came on. After some digging this was caused by an obd II code of P052E, which indicates a blocked crankcase vent valve actuator. This appears to be a manufacturing defect in these vehicles.
