New Mercedes GLB 200 Had Paintwork on the Roof

June 23 10:18 PM

In December 2023, I purchased a brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLB 200 from Hastalya, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership in Denizli. After taking delivery of the vehicle, I discovered that there was localized paintwork on the roof. Finding paintwork on a vehicle that was sold to me as brand-new, especially on the roof, completely damaged my trust in the vehicle and took away my enjoyment of owning it.

As soon as I noticed the issue, I contacted the dealership staff. When I reported the situation, the representatives told me they would discuss the matter internally and with the relevant departments, then get back to me. However, so far, I have not received a clear, satisfactory solution.

I believe that paintwork on the roof of a brand-new vehicle significantly reduces its market value and will also cause problems for me if I decide to sell the car in the future. For this reason, I request either a return of the vehicle based on its current market value or payment of a substantial compensation amount that reflects the loss in value caused by the painted roof.

I request that Mercedes-Benz and the authorized dealership review this matter as soon as possible and provide a fair solution that compensates me for the loss in value and the inconvenience I have experienced.

Mercedes-Benz Refused Free Warranty Repair on My GLC 220d Headlight Unit

April 21, 2025 3:19 PM81

"Update: I Still Haven’t Received a Positive Response to My Complaint Although I have contacted Mercedes-Benz Gelecek Otomotiv Diyarbakır Authorized Service and the relevant authorities regarding the issue of the headlight replacement, which was previously approved under warranty but later rejected (the details of which I shared in my initial complaint on 07.04.2025), I still have not received a satisfactory, solution-oriented response. Despite the time that has passed, I have only been offered a discount. However, there has been no official, written explanation as to why a process previously accepted under warranty was later made chargeable. I would like to reiterate that I reserve my legal rights under Consumer Rights, that my grievance continues, and that I expect the Mercedes-Benz brand to address the process seriously and provide a solution. If the issue is not resolved; - I would like to state that I will initiate application processes with the Consumer Arbitration Committee, - Mercedes-Benz Turkey Headquarters, - And, if necessary, with the relevant legal authorities. I would like to point out that one of the main reasons for being a Mercedes-Benz customer is my trust in the premium quality service of the brand and my belief that I would not be subjected to such grievances. However, the reluctance to resolve this issue is turning the premium perception into disappointment. I expect a global brand like Mercedes-Benz, which values customer satisfaction, to address this situation urgently with an understanding that prioritizes customer satisfaction."
