Common problems with glk250?
I'm sure this has been discussed but I'm in the market for a 2013 glk250 and want to know any common problems you have experienced?
What are major defects or maintenance you have had to do?
I own a 2010 c63 AMG and that has had its fair sure of expensive maintenance and the motor is known for having a headbolt issue. Anything like that with the diesel?

Fj cruiser 2014 GLK250
Not sure I can speak for everybody, but our experience has been good. The only issue we had was the 10 starts remaining issue when we first had the car. This was a quick drive to the dealer and a couple of hours later we drove home. Otherwise the car has been flawless just routine maintenance and a new set of tires at about 50,000 km...

2013 GLK250 Bluetec
"Zero" Reliability
i bought my 2013 glk250 bluetec in jan 2015 with 70,000 kms on it. initially, i was very happy with it; the feeling didn't last. by jan 2020, i had enough and sold it. over the 5 years that i owned it, it cost me over $18,000.00 in repairs (repairs included sensors, brakes, tires, numerous bluetec related issues). the deciding factor was when i had it in for yet another bluetec issue, shortly after (and $2,000 later) it began jerking when i accelerated, that was the final straw. i ended up leasing a 2020 lexus ux250h and so far, so good.
