Safety & Tech Across Trims
Common Problem
Airbag Malfunction
One of the significant issues reported by owners of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB is an airbag malfunction error, specifically a "Front Left Malfunction service required" message. This issue has led to repeated visits to the dealership without resolution for some owners, indicating potential defects in certain vehicles.
Cylinder Head Issues
The GLB's M260 engine has been associated with cylinder head problems. Owners have reported major engine failures due to manufacturing issues, particularly affecting the exhaust valve seat. These issues are prevalent enough that Mercedes has developed updated parts to replace faulty ones. It's crucial for prospective buyers to ensure these updates have been applied before purchasing.
Parking Brake and Rust
Another common problem involves the parking brake rusting to the rotor after the vehicle has been parked for a while, especially following wet conditions. This issue can occur across various models, including the GLA, GLB, and CLA. While it may not affect braking functionality, it can cause inconvenience and requires attention.
User Interface Concerns
The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) interface has received criticism for its design and functionality. Some users find it unattractive and poorly integrated into the car's interior, preferring more traditional mechanical dials over digital screens ,. Despite this, reviews on the user interface are mixed, with some praising its features.
Reliability and Maintenance Costs
Overall reliability concerns have been raised, with some owners suggesting that Mercedes vehicles, including the GLB, might not be as reliable as other brands like Acura or Lexus. Out-of-warranty repairs can be costly, making extended warranties or certified pre-owned options worth considering.
