Tl* the contact owns a 2015 mercedes-benz gl450. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and the pre-safety function limited warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was pushed over to the side of the road by the contact and passenger. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle, but it failed to start. The vehicle was towed to mercedes-benz of arcadia (101 n santa anita ave, arcadia, ca 91006, (626) 701-8904) where it was diagnosed that a loose screw was not fastened by the manufacturer and an unknown wire was detached, which caused the vehicle to stall.

Gl 450 with vin [xxx] experienced exact problem defined by nhtsa recall # 18v272 in may 2018 (2 or 3 weeks prior to receiving recall notice from mercedes-benz usa). Dealership, mercedes-benz of midlothian virginia, performed repair work required (based urgent need from mil saying "do not drive vehicle. Mb midlothian repaired the active suspension system by replacing the "sealing cap" on the "acs oil reservoir" - the exact repair specified in the recall. I was charged in excess of $400 for this repair as the dealership "had not yet received official notice that the recall would include (my) vehicle." upon receiving the official recall letter in june 2018, i contacted mercedes-benz usa. Mb-usa told me that the work i had paid for was, indeed, covered by the recall, and that mb dealership should reimburse me for the charges and re-charge mb-usa. On august 20, i again contacted mb midlothian who told me that i needed to file with mb-usa for reimbursement. So i, again, contacted mb-usa and asked for reimbursement. Mb-usa, again, told me "no", the dealership must initiate the process and provide reimbursement. Mb-usa rep said that the dealership should reimburse me since the work conducted was now a recall. Payment for the recall is directly between mb-usa and mb-dealership. However mb-midlothian dealership said that "this is not the way it works." this is an issue between mb-usa and mb-dealership-not me. I, the customer, am caught by the finger-pointing in the middle with no resolution.This is a known major safety issue identified by a recall !!! Mb-usa and their dealerships work it out, and not leave customers with no resolution because of their incompetence. I am a phd automotive engineer, but do not work for or get paid by mb. Thus, as a very frustrated customer, i am caught in mb bureaucracy with no resolution or acceptance of responsibility.
