Not a Lemon Law expert here but I'm pretty sure the folks that can help you will need a lot more info, not limited to:

1) Model year of GL and purschse (lease) date
2) Country and/or State of residence
3) Itemized list of every repair and the date of such repairs

What are the problems you are experiencing?

If you experience the same issues over and taken it to service more than 3 times in one year for that issue, you may be eligible for a Lemon Law.

Also, you didn't state the issues of you 2015 GL550.

I leased my 2015 GL550 last year, halloween to be exact, encountered only electrical issues which was fixed. Now I got vibrational issues at highway speeds and the tires are the next to go.

Lemon laws typically pertain to first year of ownership and only cover a new car buyer. Not sure how long you have after first year of ownership to file a claim. Start with a Google search for your state's laws.

I have a 2014 GL550, currently dealing with lemon with MBUSA. They've accepted as a lemon, I am just waiting for them to give me the numbers. PM me if you want, I believe there will be a gag order when I sign over the buyback, so I don't wanna shoot myself in the foot thus far along.

What kind of lemon issue?

Not your squeaky interior.

It has to do with my continuously failing 2nd row seat.

Though, a very good friend of mine also have the exact squeaky, torqueing interior that is simply driving him nuts, and dealer has lubed all they could multiple times but it comes back after awhile. It is utter madness for him as he hears it every day in and day out. His is GL450. It seems like there is a certain bad batch of something that comes out of the factory that causes these noises.

I do however had my fair share of failed sensors and vibration at 68mph problems.

My other good friend also said every benz is a lemon. LOL, so I guess in a few days it would be best or nothing for me, literally.

Reading all these threads has me pondering, but at the same time I've had my share of Benz's and have never had these many issues. Every premium car regardless of brand has their share of issues. My wife's C350 is flawless so far, almost four-years old. My very new '16 GL still has less than 1000 miles on it so who knows. But so far, perfect. You will always hear a flex, a click, etc., these are cars, not perfection of finite engineering, there's no such thing.

First problem i encountered was with the Active Curve System, after a few weeks it again made problems, they changed a few things from then on the car hasnt gone a few weeks without visiting the dealer they changed more parts than the car even has, they even changed struts on a new car.. go figure
now the car has been there for a few weeks without them even telling me whats wrong with it
its my first Mercedes, a $110K car, custom ordered, very frustrating
