Interesting.

Effectively a 10 year warranty against mold in the HVAC system. No payment cap.

Seems a reasonable settlement. I wish more class-actions resulted in similar settlements. Seeing settlements like what Equifax got, where attorneys make bank and the consumer gets shafted, is frustrating.

Although the QX30 is basically the same vehicle as the GLA, I doubt we'll see similar coverage extended to our vehicles.

If you read the excerpt of the settlement, GLA 2013 to 2016. Not GX30 years.

The proposed settlement class is defined as a nationwide class of all current and former owners and lessees of Mercedes-Benz 2008-19 C-Class, 2010-15 GLK Class, 2012-17 CLS-Class, 2010-19 E-Class, 2015-19 GLA-Class, 2013-16 GL Class, 2016-19 GLE-Class, 2017-19 GLS-Class, 2012-15 M-Class and 2016-19 GLC-Class vehicles who purchased or leased their vehicles in the United States.

I think you need to re-read that.

You're right, I read it wrong. Good thing mine is a lease that expires next year. Sad fact is that I like the car and am considering keeping it at that time, but the values seem to be dropping below the lease buyout due to the orphan nature of the car.
