20251223ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH DASHBOARD SCREENS WENT DARK AND REMAINED SO THROUGH 5 CYCLES OF STARTING THE CAR. HAD NO OPERATING INFORMATION WHATSOEVER. TOLD BY DEALER THAT MANY 2025 GLC-300'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.
20251027ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The instrument panel behind the steering wheel has gone totally dark. This issue happened about a month ago but resolved itself somehow. Issue happened again and will not correct itself.

With a dark/blank instrument panel you cannot know your speed, fuel level, or what gear you have placed the car in. My technician even indicated he has seen this issue on several 2025 MB models.
