Can Mercedes-Benz drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Mercedes-Benz drivetrain system?

How often should I come in for Mercedes-Benz GLK350 differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a GLK350?

A multitude of problems can activate your GLK350’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the GLK350 malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my GLK350?

If your GLK350 has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my GLK350?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your GLK350 includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your GLK350 forward.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your GLK350 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
