2023 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Mercedes-Benz tow?   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 GLS450’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your GLS450 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my GLS450 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2023 GLS450’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mercedes-Benz's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Mercedes-Benz GLS450 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your GLS450 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who fixes Mercedes-Benz GLS450 transmission leaks? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair GLS450 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mercedes-Benz GLS450 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your GLS450 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged.

A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
