There are 2 owner-reported air bags & restraints complaints for the 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL-Classin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The steering wheel airbag spontaneously deployed with no prior warning sensors activated or collision (moments after pulling into driveway at home). Mercedes Benz refuses to take any responsibility, or at least inspect and replace the steering wheel and airbag. Driver's arm was partially injured due to deployment, not severe. However the concern remains of whether this could have deployed while driving, causing critical injuries. Should we worry about the remaining airbags spontaneously deploying?
THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE LATCH BROKE. WE NORMALLY HAVE A CHILD SEAT BUCKLED INTO THAT BELT. BUT WE WERE ON A TRIP, AND I WAS THE ONE USING THIS SEAT BELT. I COULD NOT LATCH IT, AND FOUND THAT A CHUNK OF THE PLASTIC HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM THE BELT AND WOULD NOT LATCH. MERCEDES AND MY EXTENDED PROTECTION PLAN WILL NOT REPLACE IT WITHOUT A COST. OF APPRX 170.00 I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH A SAFETY DEVICE IN ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED, AND I BELIEVE THAT A CAR THAT COSTS OVER 80,000.00 WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHY IT HAS FAILED. I AM GRATEFUL THAT MY GRAND CHILD WAS NOT BUCKLED INTO THIS BELT! *JS
