GL450 Issues
I am new to this forum but need help..I have a 2010 GL450. This is my second GL450. I had issues with the first one but thought the second would be better. It's been constant problems. It took over a year to get Mercedes to figure out what was wrong with a knocking noise coming from the front left side of the car. Now, they tell me I need all this:Replace cabin/HEPA micro filter (Found cabin/HEPA micro
filter dirty) Caution $88.90 See AI-18
Replace air filter element (Found air cleaner element to be
dirty) Caution $186.00 See AI-28
Replace both engine mounts (Found engine mount
ruptured/leaking) Caution $882.98 See AI-30
Perform four wheel alignment (New tire(s) installed) Caution $209.99 See AI-35
Replace spark plugs (Spark plugs appear original) Caution $397.12 See AI-50
Perform brake system fluid exchange (Found brake fluid
service due by time and/or mileage) Caution $135.40 See AI-63
Perform 722.9 automatic transmission fluid exchange service
and change filter (Found transmission service due by time
and/or mileage)
Caution $518.33 See AI-73
Subtotal $2,418.72
PLUS over 2,000 more of other things. My big concern is the engine mounts. They told me they get worn and be dangerous and the mounts keep the engine from crashing into the cabin…No offense, but I'm a woman and seem to get ripped off constantly on this and other things. Can someone please help?? I need to know if these front mounts are really this dangerous as we are going out of town for Thanksgiving and I'm told it can wait that they are just now showing wear and leaking….Thanks!
