The most unreliable car I have ever owned was a Mercedes Benz GLC 4 door coupe which I bought new in late 2017. From day 1 I had "crabbing" issues with the steering causing the steering wheel to shake violently when on full lock, either left or right. Dealership told me it was within manufacturer's specifications and there was nothing it could do for me.
Research showed there were thousands of complaints, especially in the UK, where it was acknowledged that there was a design flaw in all rhd GLC models. Finally late in 2018 in the UK newly designed steering knuckles were supplied and fitted under warranty.
There was no warranty recall in Australia, and it was only when I brought the recall information in the UK to the dealer's notice that I had the problem fixed under warranty. I also had numerous problems with the electronics and so I got rid of it late last year.
