2021 GLA250
New Member

Hi all. I bought a 2021 GLA250 with pretty much all the bells and whistles at the beginning of July 2021. I'm writing at the beginning of September, and the car still has less than 2k miles on it. It was in the shop for about two weeks before it was returned to me with the message that everything was functioning as designed, or the various problems I described couldn't be duplicated.
Last night the brakes suddenly slammed on for no reason I can determined, so I want to post about that in the appropriate forum.
All in all, so far, I have to say - I wish I'd bought the Volvo.

Welcome. Sorry you're having issues with you new GLA. I would suggest you scroll down the main forum page and find the GLA section. You can post your concerns there. The GLA owners there will be more than glad to help you.

Welcome! Please post a photo of the GLA.

There is more evidence every day, such as your experience, that MB is producing garbage from its factories. It’s a pity.

Not to in anyway discount the difficulties that are being reported, I think it's important to remember that people are more inclined to post if they're having difficulty with their vehicle than if their vehicle is behaving just fine so I think the results on the forum are pretty unscientific. However, this forum exists to help members with their vehicle's issues so they're coming to a good place.
