So I just got a 2011 GLK 350 and I noticed that when it is in drive and I let go of the brake, the car sometimes doesn't creep forward, and if it does, sometimes it is extremely slow. When I pulled up to a stop sign (no incline, or not noticeable) , and let go of the brake to start going, it sometimes doesn't creep forward, and if it does, it is so slow that it seems like its almost not moving. I also tested this out in my driveway (which has a very small incline, but with my other cars there is no problem and they creep forward at normal speed). I found out that sometimes, it doesn't move at all when I let go of the brake for a good minute in drive. Sometimes, it starts creeping forward after 10 seconds of letting go of the brake. And sometimes it creeps forward at a normal speed immediately. Is this normal for the GLK or does it have an issue with the transmission/transmission fluid or something else?

I just bought my second 2011 GLK and they both are like this. I believe this is normal. It took a little getting used to but I love this car.

Unless you have a receipt for a revenge transmission oil change, have one done. How many miles on it?

This is auto brake on incline feature...hill assist or whatever it's called. If you are on a hill and let brake off it holds it and doesn't move until you give it some gas or some time passes

What a great feature. I love it.
