Looking for experienced mechanic for Mercedes GLS Class: unreliable alarm system

Alarm system malfunctions

Hi guys, I am having problems with my 2021 Mercedes GLS Class. The alarm system is acting up, it seems like the communication with the siren is faulty. The car has about 80,000 km down and a gasoline engine. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this and can recommend a good mechanic? I've become quite suspicious after my last experience. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I had similar problems with my 2019 Mercedes GLC. In my case, the control unit was the culprit. It wasn't anything too serious, but a visit to the garage was unavoidable. The control unit controls many components of the vehicle, including the alarm system. A defect can manifest itself in various ways, including the alarm system going crazy. It's best to go to a mechanic. They are trained to diagnose and fix such problems. So don't panic, it's definitely doable, just maybe not easy. All the best with your car!

Hi, thanks for the tip, it really sounds like the control unit on my GLS could also be the problem. Do you happen to remember how much it cost the garage to repair or replace it? And have you had any other problems since then that might have caused it? It would be really reassuring to know that everything was fine once it was fixed. Thank you!

Hey, since I've been to the mechanic, everything has been running like clockwork. The communication issue with the alarm system was no longer an issue. It was fixed quickly. The repair of the control unit wasn't cheap, I paid 1000 euros, but it was worth it. Since then everything has been really great, no further problems that would have caused more trouble. So don't worry too much, it can be fixed quickly. Good luck with your car!

Hey, thanks for the information! It's good to know that everything has gone smoothly since your repair. I guess I need to be prepared to spend a similar amount. It's reassuring to hear that I can get rid of this problem too. I will take care of it tomorrow and make an appointment with the mechanic. Thanks again for your help!
