| Description of the problem | I bought the mercedes gla 250 in september 2018 and my check engine light would come on for a day or two and go back off. The check engine did the same thing as before and took it to auto zone and stated it was a positive crankcase ventilation issue. I stopped at a red light and the car cut off and had to restart the car then a few minutes later i stopped at another light and the car stopped and had to restart again. I made an appointment with mercedes of bedford on june 25 and the young lady never communicated that i was not under warranty or had to pay for diagnostic fee. I went to mercedes on june 29th and stated i had to pay for the diagnostic fee but was not made aware previously on june 29th. The warranty on on the vehicle was up on march 30th. I left and did some research and seems the positive crankcase is a common issue plus the check engine light has been coming on for sometime now. The dealership stated it would take up to 3 weeks to a month for the part to come in from germany. The dealership stated that this is a known issue with the vehicle. I would like for you to investigate the issue and see how many cars are having this issue. |
