Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Reliability through December 31, 2012

An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.

General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.

Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Reliability and Durability of the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Our previous vehicle was a 2005 Mercedes Benz C-240. From a reliability standpoint, the C-240 was flawless. I am hoping the GLK will be as good as the C-240 was.
