NHTSA Complaint #11665355 — 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250

Jerking and loud noise from the engine after attempting to accelerate from a red light stop. Vehicle is idling very roughly and almost sounds like a diesel engine. Check engine light came on. Inspection at the dealership found multiple faults for camshaft positions deviating from the specified value. When the oil filter was removed, the shop reported finding some metal particles in the oil. The conclusion was that a mechanical fault caused a metal part in the engine to brake and clog up the engine. The car did not run smoothly after the jerking sound and could have caused an accident if the car was in active motion. The recommendation now is that the engine needs to be replaced.
