The contact owns a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the 48V bolt battery had caused the check engine warning light to illuminate. The contact was informed by the dealer that the temporary fix would be to reduce the battery charge to 25% then charge the battery to 75%. The check engine warning light returned soon after the fix and the contact was informed that there was no permanent fix for the defect. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,800.

Brand new '24 GLC300 4MATIC. Engine light came on with no error message. Brought it in for service. Miscellaneous engine repair states: "Found current code POA7F00 in drivetrain control unit. Followed LI54.10-P-077250. Cleared codes. Drained 48V battery to below 25% SOC. Charged vehicle to 70% SOC. Job complete." Service foreman mentioned that the service performed may not resolve issue. He contacted Mercedes-Benz Engineering and said no fix at this time and no ETA. Left service with no more engine light on. However, it didn't take long, and the engine light came on again. I called service again, and I was asked to take the car back in to be sure it is not anything else. Took my vehicle back, and service foreman diagnosed the issue. Code is the same as before with issues on the 48V battery. Service foreman is unsure of the exact issue. Mercedes-Benz Engineering did not provide details of the problem. I believe this issue poses a safety risk without knowing for sure what is the real cause and what might be the effects on the vehicle. This GLC is my family daily use, and it has become a big safety concern on the road. Service was very helpful and accommodating with my vehicle's issues. Unfortunately, fix is unknown from Mercedes-Benz to be able to resolve. I have also called the Mercedes-Benz Customer Care, 800-367-6372. Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do. I've asked to open a case. Case # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
