On December 19, 2025, the vehicle showed lights that a sparkplug had misfired. The dealer notified me that in less than two full years of having the 2023 vehicle, it required a complete engine rebuild. This is the third major engine problem I have had with the vehicle with more than $20K in fees. The services performed in December 2025 repairs included Cylinder Head Assembly to Replace Engine Cylinder Head Assemble due to multiple cylinder head fault codes, including misfire, injector injection, and mixture formation code. Cylinder 2 is leaking out of the exhaust valve. Camshaft replacement and rollers due to deep scoring on both intake and exhaust cams, not by cylinder two. Exhaust valve leaking from the head while the camshafts are scoring, leading to misfiring as well.

Reporting because I see reports on other searches of this happening on other Mercedes Benz various years and models, the front stationary roof panel has shattered, cracked. I was lucky, my vehicle is only cracked (leaving my windshield components open to the weather , ie rain in Washington). Others report shattering while driving and having injuries from blowing glass. This appears to be an ongoing problem with Mercedes, they want over $2000 to fix a common problem with their vehicles.

My 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 is experiencing engine misfires and fault codes consistent with a known cylinder head defect that is the subject of a recall affecting 2022 and earlier models. A certified mechanic has confirmed the issue aligns with the recall defect. Despite identical symptoms and engine configuration, my VIN is excluded. The condition results in loss of power and creates a potential safety hazard while driving. The following codes are referenced in the Mercedes recall and by recorded by the auto repair shop that provided an estimate for the repair: P1CEF85 - Injector injection quantity adjustment for cylinder balancing has almost reached the upper limit value at atleast one cylinder. P1CE577 - Injector injection quantity adjustment for uniform mixture formation has detected an excessively lean mixture at atleast one cylinder.
