The Mercedes-Benz GLA is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Mercedes-Benz over two generations. It is essentially the SUV equivalent of the A-Class, and the smallest SUV marketed by the brand. The production version was revealed in August 2013 ahead of the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show in September 2013.

The GLA is powered by a range of petrol and diesel 4-cylinder engines, and comes in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the latter marketed by Mercedes as 4Matic.

The GLA nameplate aligns with Mercedes SUV nomenclature, where GL stands for Geländewagen (German for off-road vehicle) and the A designates its overall place in the Mercedes range, in this class, the smallest or A-Class.

Based on the information provided in the search results, here are the common problems reported by owners of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA45 2019:

Engine Failure: Certain petrol engines built between July and September 2015 may experience camshaft failure, requiring a new camshaft to be fitted by a dealer to rectify this issue.
Front Passenger Airbag: In some cars manufactured between September and November 2014, and August 2016 to March 2017, the front passenger airbag might not deploy correctly in a collision, necessitating a change in fuses or a replacement of the airbag unit.
Window Airbags: Cars built between August 2016 and March 2017 may have issues where the window airbags might not deploy in a collision, requiring a dealer to check and replace these airbags if necessary.
Risk of Fire: Some cars produced between October and November 2015 could have cracked high-pressure fuel lines, leading to fuel leakage into the engine bay, potentially resulting in a fire. Affected cars need new fuel lines to be fitted.
Oil Leak: Certain diesel models manufactured between February and November 2014 may suffer from a faulty oil seal causing leaks, which if left unchecked, could damage the engine. Dealers can identify affected cars and replace the oil seal.
Engine Stalling: Cars made between October and November 2015 might experience engine stalling issues due to a faulty engine part, requiring a replacement to prevent the engine from going into limp home mode or cutting out completely.
Overheating Starter Motor: In some vehicles built between February 2014 and February 2017, the starter motor could overheat if the engine seizes up, necessitating the addition of an additional fuse to prevent overheating.
Vacuum Lines: Vehicles assembled in the first year of production may have vacuum lines going to the brake booster that can break, resulting in a loss of boost pressure after a few brake applications. Affected cars need to have more durable lines fitted.
NOx Recall: All diesel models were subject to a voluntary recall in 2017 to reduce NOx emissions on engines made before 2015. Owners should contact a dealer to check if their car needs the software updates.

These reported issues highlight various potential concerns with the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLA45 2019, emphasizing the importance of regular maintenance and prompt attention to any signs of these problems to ensure the vehicle's optimal performance and safety.
