GLK350

On 11/18/2023, while driving my GLK350 2014, I decided to open and later close the sunroof. As I closed the sunroof, I heard a distinct cracking sound, which caught my attention. Initially, I was unsure of the source of the sound and continued driving. It wasn't until I arrived home that I made a shocking discovery - the front black stationary window panel, located just above the windshield, had shattered unexpectedly. Prior to this incident, I had meticulously cared for my car, ensuring it was regularly maintained and kept in excellent condition. There were no visible cracks or signs of damage on the front black stationary window panel. I even hand-washed the vehicle earlier that day and inspected the panel, confirming its integrity. I had a clear view of the area around the car while I was on a ladder, ruling out the possibility of any rocks or debris causing the breakage. My adult daughter was present in the car with me as a witness to this unfortunate event. We were both astonished by the sudden and unexplained shattering of the window panel. Given the circumstances, it became evident that there is a significant safety concern regarding the GLK350 2014 model's front black stationary window panel. The shattered panel poses serious risks to the safety of both the driver and passengers. These risks include compromised structural integrity, the potential for harmful glass projectiles, and impaired visibility that could lead to accidents or hazardous driving situations. To address these urgent safety concerns, I have written this letter to request an immediate safety recall for all GLK350 2014 vehicles. It is our collective responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of all drivers and passengers who rely on your esteemed automobile brand. Please consider the gravity of this situation and take swift action to rectify

Taken Glk350 three times to dealership for having issues with water coming back to drivers front windshield when raining and not having the ability to see on drivers side due to heavy smear of water being left behind when wipers going back down after wiping off, happens any time it rains light to moderate.
