Questions About 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your GL350’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
