2020 MB GLB 250
2020 GLB 250 warnings went crazy while going over Sierra Nevada's on I80 for the umptieth time, this time weather moderate 80 degrees. Even started losing power on inclines assume it was the turbo? Reno MB service added small amount of coolant. No reason to lose coolant as got 30K mile service in Reno March of 23. Started this morning and first thing that came up was warning to add coolant. Service said no leaks and I have observed no leaks while stopped in rest areas as service manual told me to do. Engine was hesitant earlier this week on cold start, thought I had bad bad premium gas from Walmart. Turns out its the engine!!!
We like the MLB for many reasons, but this is the last straw. MB Dealers suck and a vehicle put together in MX sucks. 13 recalls with some taking more than a day. Mercedes roadside assistance helped a little but they have no control.
Now we are stuck in Reno until a mechanic can figure this out!

So sorry for your continuing difficulty. I wonder if maybe you can get some financial help for your additional travel expenses through the MB Roadside Assistance program? When you get home, I think you should seriously consider filling under your home state's lemon law for help.
