The June 16th entry is for the A/C and has a document the dealer can use to fix it.
This vehicle is brand new and already there are 4 pages of communications filed with NHTSA concerning various issues with this vehicle. If I was you, I would print the entire 4 pages and have your vehicle inspected for all of the issues noted in these NHTSA communications when you next take it in for the A/C issue. Just my 2 cents of advise.

That's a NEGATIVE.

It took us TWICE to the selling MB dealership to get the AC issue resolved.

The service advisor refused to look at the print out I had for the AC problem from the MB HQ. I had to email it to the salesman who sold the GLB to us to make sure the service department checked it out.

All ok now.

I will post what was replaced when I get a chance.

Thanks for all who helped.

AC is FIXED and NOW COOLING VERY WELL. Even when it's 114 degrees fahrenheit outside

We got the AC fixed.

Please see attached MB dealership service print out.

You know what date was your production date, mileages on your car, and what color is your car?

As I recall Feb 2020.

Mileage when first occurred was back in June was just a couple hundred miles. When we picked up the GLB it had like 7 miles on the ODO.

Can you please tell me why the above matters? It's still a 2020 MB GLB250 4Matic.

Same problem here for GLB250 sold in Australia

It was hot today, 43C outside.
Parked my car on street for 1 hour.
When I came back and started the car, it only blew warm air, I was totally wet in several minutes.
I tried turn on/off AC, stop/start engine, still not working. Drove to nearby MB dealer, their service department does not work on weekend. Evetually, I found if I swtich the AC to manual mode, set fan speed low. Somehow, it started to blow cold air again. When I changed it back to auto, it blew hot air again after a while.
Parked the car under sun again to have lunch, when coming back, same thing, no cold air. Turned to manual and low fan speed, drove faster, AC started to work.

I think some overheating protection or some fluid pressure issue is there. Will take it to dealer on Monday to see what will they say.

I am the OP.

We had the same problem back in the summer (USA). It took two trips to the MB dealership to get it fixed. There is at least one TSB from MB addressing this AC problem.

Please see my post #29 above.

Also another poster #24 above and attached.
