Vehicle has about 1500 miles and already nervous that it will turn into a lemon. Sold our Acura RDX for the GLC 43. The RDX we put 53k miles on and NOT ONE ISSUE. We change the oils, cabin filter, transmission service and one set of tires. We didn't even have to change the brakes in 53k miles! Don't know where to start. I will start by saying once up to speed the vehicle drives great. Vibration noise: when taking my foot off the brake say when the light turns green before hitting the gas I had a vibration noise you can hear in the cabin. Took it back and the salesman and they pulled it in to the shop and took some plastic covers and screwed them back on and the noise went away. Plastic ratting noise: after the car sits for at least two hours upon start up at idle there is a plastic flapping noise coming from the passenger front of the car. After driving the noise goes away but I can't imagine it's normal. The actual engine idles fine but there is a secondary noise. Acceleration: when we first took the car home the car had zero power when starting off and first gear in comfort mode. The dealership must've filled up the car with regular gas (87) The first time I put gas in the car I put 93 and the issue got a little bit better but still the vehicle lacks power when starting off in first gear. the fist few seconds starting out in fist gear it really lacks power and sometimes the transmission feels confused, shakes and bucks especially before the car is up to operation temperature even though the car is never actually cold because I live in South Florida. The lack of power actually gives me anxiety because I feel if I have to step on the gas to get out of a situation (like a car coming faster than expected) it really lacks power the first few seconds. Not sure if this is due to the hybrid system/electric turbos but all of this electrified stuff is new to me and I kind of wish I bought a vehicle without any type of hybrid system. Radio volume issue: The sound of the radio goes up when I speed up and goes down when we slow down. We have been through the vehicle Settings dozens of times in the last month and there is absolutely no way to turn this feature off. I have even called customer service and in their system it is showing several different options how to turn this feature off however this feature is not programmed into the infotainment system. Every time we come to a red light the volume goes down every time we start driving the volume goes up. There is absolutely no way to turn this off Even though customer services system shows there is. Seems like they forgot to program it into the system. I brought the car back to the dealer I bought the car from and the salesman can't even resolve the issue. If there is no software update and there's no feature that means I'm not gonna be able to turn this off ever so I'm stuck with a vehicle that the volume automatically goes up when I speed up and goes down when I slow down. I can't believe I'm saying this but I have a service appointment in a few days. It's amazing I just paid $70,000 for a vehicle and have to bring it in for service. I really hope that they don't charge me to look at the vehicle. Besides the issues I mentioned the card does drive well once it's going. Handles extremely well too I'm just not happy with the things mentioned
Dont buy it

I had a SIX cylinder Audi s4 for 10 years. Not one problem. Wife wanted the 2023 GLC 300. After 6,000 miles it sprung an oil leak. A mechanic friend warned me about high revving German 4 cylinder turbos. I did have one in the 90's an Audi A4 which also leaked oil. Had a ton of other issues then the turbo blew up at 50k miles. Don;t do it!

I got my Glc 43 amg in July. 4000 miles in they are saying that there is misfiring and an issue with my fuel injectors. Car has been in the shop for 28 days now “waiting on parts” Car was great before it broke down. Not something I expected to deal with buying an AMG. What a joke

Things I don’t like about my GLC 43 one ,I am disappointed of the rearview camera when you back up it only show partial of the space that back up. It doesn’t show the whole full screen in the back for the back and two when you start your car from a Stop to start. It has like a jolt like somebody is holding your car down and then all of the sudden it kicks you in the butt I don’t like that feeling other than that I can say performance is pretty good. I took it up in the mountain and , a lot of curves tight curves smooth curves with 55,65 m/h It handles amazing . Comfort for me being 5 foot five woman it’s pleasant. I love it. I don’t have anything to complain about that ,cargo space for the back. I don’t carry that much cargo, but whatever I need is good space , backseats again I think is reasonable Space .my husband he’s a big guy. He’s 6 foot three 260 pounds so he thinks it’s too tight for him .overall I like the car I don’t have any other complaints. so I’m giving a 8 out of 10
