A/C issues
I have a 2011 GLK a few months back I had a day of the a/c not blowing cold air. The very next day it worked fine and did work great until last week when the same issue recurred. It is again working fine. I called the local dealership and they want me to bring it in as it is most likely low in freon. I took it on a long road trip over the weekend and it worked great. Does it sound like low freon to you?

Try a simple test yourself. When it's working, find the larger a/c line under hood & feel it. It should be cold, sweating. When it quits working, feel it again. If it's warm, the compressor isn't working. If cold, the climate control is malfunctioning. If it's warm, try a compressor relay.

They drained the tank and refilled it with Pure gas. No shaking since. We did take it on a long road trip over the weekend to Austin. I tried to find 100% gas but there is not any to be found in Austin. The car ran fine with the 10% so I'm still confused. I called the dealership and asked them about not having the pure gas available and the service manager said it it's necessary?? They now are saying maybe I just got a tank of "bad" gas that caused the shacking.
