1. Transmission Problem Vehicle Rolls backwards when the gear / transmission is in "Drive". It happens in these two situations: a) I am stopped at a Traffic Light which is Red. The road is at a moderate upward incline. When the Light turns Green, and I move my foot from the Break pedal to the Accelerator to move forward, the GLB rolls backwards even though the transmission is, and has been, in "Drive". b) I am backing out of my garage. Our driveway is at a moderate Backward / Downward Decline. As I reach the point where I shift the gear into "Drive", the car still continues to roll backwards. This is despite the fact that I had to depress the Brake pedal to place the vehicle in Drive. c) I have checked the settings and confirmed that the transmission is NOT in manual mode. The problem is happening when the Transmission is in automatic mode. I have been cautious and prevented an accident over the last 6 months that I have owned this car. ___________________________________ 2. Cruise Control: This is a situation is that I am driving, and I have the Cruise Control "On". I encounter the traffic to be slowing, so I push the "Cancel" button for the Cruise Control in the left bar of the steering wheel. As I manipulate the wheel to make a left turn, the "Resume" button, also in the left bar of the steering wheel, gets touched without my realization. The GLB zooms ahead violently! This is dangerous and unexpected acceleration. A corollary to this malady is that the radio suddenly blasts loud as I manipulate the steering wheel to make a right turn. The radio volume button in the bar of the steering wheel gets touched without my realization. This is dangerous. It can make the Driver jump and react suddenly to the unexpected loud noise. I REPORTED THESE 2 PROBLEMS TO MERCEDES BENZ OF NORTH AMERICA THROUGH THE WEBSITE IN DETAIL AS ABOVE ON DEC 9, 2024 THE SITE PROMISES A RESPONSE IN 24 HOURS. I HAVE NO RESPONSE

Jul 24, 2026

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2020-2021 CLA, 2019-2022 A-Class, 2022-2023 C-Class, 2024 CLE, 2020-2026 GLA/GLB, and 2023-2024 GLC vehicles. Please refer to MBUSA's recall report for specific model information. The micro-switch in the driver's door lock may corrode and fail to detect an open door, preventing the electronic parking brake or "Auto-Park" feature from engaging automatically. This may result in a vehicle rollaway.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy: Dealers will replace the driver's door lock, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2026. Owners may contact MBUSA customer service at 1-800-367-6372. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning July 31, 2026.
