Smile New to the gl forum 2010 gl450 questions

Hey everyone just picked up a 10 gl450 for my wife that is still under factory warranty for 7000 more miles. Do you know of any "updates" that i should ask for from the dealer before I run out of warranty? I owned a 08 C350 and found several members good ideas/tricks that they informed me about before i would go to dealer for maintenance......can't wait to really get to know this car.

There are no updates for your truck. The updates are mostly for the 07 and 08 x164.


Have them do an overall check (1 hour of labor) on your dime and whatever they find they will fix under warranty.

I scheduled a call and asked them to address the following issues: Wooden steering wheel has hairline cracks and the vehicle when at a stop will randomly raise and lower.....I assume that the air bags have an issue. Hopefully the dealer will cooperate with me and get resolved prior to the manufacturers warranty expiring. Thanks for your input Alx

Good advice from previous person. I've had two GLs and had the air suspension fixed under warranty for both. It just wears out as others have noted over time like any part will. That and any oil leaks are the types of things I've had addressed and would encourage you to explore. Frankly, I'd buy an extended warranty of at all possible.

Thanks, it is a CPO vehicle so I am hoping that will last me a while.
