I seldom use mine for trips less than 20 miles. My personal belief is that there is more noise than substance to the problems.

I didn't have any problems either and I am sure that those like yourself with low mileage and good performance are bound to be defensive. But there are problems as I am sure you have read on the GLK forums.
This is one shops's post that crops up in several places:

I love the older Mercedes diesels and always wanted to buy a new one. When I did, I hadn't realized just how much they had changed. Still drive my 85 300D regularly!
