2017 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA250
Filed Oct 19, 2026
The check engine light on the vehicle came on and remained on each time the vehicle is running. An independent service center in an effort to fix the problem, ran a diagnostic test and found that the check engine light is on due to two codes. (1) P052E-71 crankcase ventilation system has a malfunction (PCV has failed, needs tube assembly). (2) P06DA-00 oil pump solenoid circuit failure. Additionally, the independent service center found a Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC News Channel Update Warranty to…

1. The suspected component is the rear differential/rear axle assembly in my 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 4MATIC. The vehicle has developed abnormal knocking, popping, and drivetrain noises, particularly during turning and low-speed maneuvering. A repair facility provided an estimate of approximately $8,180 to replace the rear differential assembly. I am requesting further review to confirm the exact cause of the failure. The vehicle and any removed components may be made available for inspection…

1. Left front wheel assembly lug bolts. All five lug bolts sheared off completely while driving, resulting in a wheel separation and structural failure. Yes, four of the five physical sheared lug bolts are preserved and immediately available for independent forensic laboratory inspection upon request. 2. The left front wheel assembly separated while operating the vehicle on a public roadway at speed. This caused an immediate loss of directional vehicle control and severe chassis instability,…

2022 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250 4MATIC
Filed Sep 17, 2026
The check engine light illuminated and the engine began running rough with misfires. Stored fault codes included P0301 and P0302 (cylinder 1 and cylinder 2 misfire detected) and P0315. An initial repair facility replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, the main battery and the auxiliary battery, which did not resolve the condition, and the vehicle was referred to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. The Mercedes-Benz dealer performed an engine inspection and found compression of approximately 80…
2021 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA 250

Vehicle would unexpectedly stall out while driving at slow speeds or stopped. Car was brought to an independent car shop and it was determined the Fuel pump had started to come apart sending debris into the fuel tank/system causing low fuel pressure. The fuel tank with fuel level sensor and suction jet pump was replaced along with, fuel injectors and other fuel system components. This looks very similar to other Mercedes Fuel system recalls that does not seem to cover the GLA250 but has the…
2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA250
Filed Aug 29, 2026
My 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 has a check engine light for code P052E, which points to a broken crankcase ventilation valve. My car has only 59,000 miles on it, but this same exact part already broke once before and was replaced under the original warranty. Now, the replacement part has failed too. This proves the part is defective and keeps breaking. Mercedes-Benz already knows this part is defective. They gave a free 15-year or 150,000-mile extended warranty to fix this exact issue for free…
