12V Battery malfunction twice in a month - GLS63 - 2021

HI,
I have a 2021 - GLS63 with 8000 km.

the 12V Aux Battery has Mal-Funtioned twice now.

Causing the Vehicle not being able to Start, and had to Tow it.


two weeks ago, the dealer did a Software Update, eventho I kept on telling them that its a Battery Issue.

Now, I need to tow it again, and will see what they say.

I am super frustrated,

Does anyone know what the fix for this would be? If they change the Aux battery will it solve the issue?

If MB Canada is looking at these postings, please contact me.


thanks

Sorry to hear. Try posting in the X167 or V167 section, where this problem has been relatively commonly reported.

You are experiencing the same issue that I had with our '21 GLS 63. In the 5,000 miles and 18 months of ownership, it has spent 4 months at the dealship. It has has two 12 volt batteries, one 48 volt battery, the "recall ground cable" issue and numerous check engine light issues.

The car has left us stranded three time. Thankfully the dealer/Mercedes bought the car back.

Thanks for sharing the experience @rob.anderson

What vehicle did you end up with after the GLS?

We have not replaced the vehicle yet. The dealer placed an order for another GLS63 for us. We will most likely take delivery of it whenever it shows up.
