2011 GL350 CPO Issues - Need advice
Hope you guys can give me some thoughts / advice.
Background - purchased a single owner CPO GL350 Dec 2013 with approx 48K miles on it.
We brought the vehicle in for it's 60K service earlier this year (Febish). After the service, the vehicle started leaking oil. I would guess it dropped a 1 qt our driveway.
We brought the vehicle back in and were told "the seals (O ring?) fail on these pretty frequently, but once we fix them, you won't have a problem again". The repair charges (under warranty) were about $6K.
Last week, the vehicle started leaking oil again. It has leaked about the same amount of oil, and the driveway is starting to look a bit like a Dalmatian. It is scheduled to go into service this Saturday - to hopefully address this new problem.
We have two other unresolved problems as well:
- 2nd row seat, passenger side doesn't lock properly; we were told this is not fixable under a CPO claim due (which doesn't make sense to me)
- Consistently hard idle at altitude while in Drive at a stand still (they can't trouble shoot it)
I am concerned that we have had these many problems with a CPO MB in such a short period of time.
Any thoughts / insight / advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

If it's a 2011, then its a X164 GL. You are in the X166 (MY 2013 - present) forum. I would suggest reposting to the X164 forum since you might have participants that have seen this issue.
