Common Problem

Engine and Transmission Issues
One of the most frequently mentioned issues with the GLA models, including the AMG variants, is related to the engine and transmission. A user reported experiencing a dragging and rumbling sensation in their 2019 GLA 250, which led to concerns about potential severe mechanical problems. Additionally, earlier models like the 2015 GLA45 AMG had known transmission issues that were reportedly resolved in later models.
Reliability and Maintenance Costs
The reliability of the GLA series can vary, but many owners have shared positive experiences with regular maintenance. The cost of ownership is higher compared to non-luxury brands, largely due to expensive parts and service fees at dealerships ,. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and servicing of the transmission and rear differential, is crucial to avoid costly repairs.
Interior and Comfort Concerns
While the GLA45 AMG is praised for its performance and driving pleasure, some users have noted that the interior feels cramped and has an excessive amount of plastic, which can detract from the luxury experience expected from a Mercedes-Benz. The vehicle's firm suspension can also make it uncomfortable on rough roads, where every bump is felt.
Wheel and Tire Durability
Owners of the GLA45 AMG have expressed concerns about the durability of the wheels and tires, especially when dealing with potholes. Larger wheels with lower profile tires are more susceptible to damage, which can be exacerbated by poor road conditions.
Infotainment and Electronics
Some users have reported issues with the MBUX infotainment system, including squeaks and rattles within the cabin. While these may not affect the car's drivability, they can impact the overall user experience, particularly in a premium vehicle.
