Consumer Description

After noticing my engine light come on, I had my vehicle checked out, the dealer informed (after spending $250.00) 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.
