Sport dial failed
So at 1200 mi the sport mode dial is stuck on 'C' with no light. I can shift with the paddles but no s or s+ mode. Any ideas? I will take it to the dealer next week to get the diff fluid changed anyway but wondered if anyone else had this problem

Did you check for a blown fuse? There should be a fuse location chart in the trunk with the tools to change a flat tire.
It is possible the car has gone into safety mode for some reason and the dealership will know if there are any codes that are not displayed on the dash.

Looks like you lost power to the selector knob and of course it defaults to C mode every time the car is switch off. Would be nice if MB made wire schematics available...
Keep us posted on what turns up. Interested.

Mine did this once. Fixed itself and never happened again.

happened to me once as well when it was new..also had a problem that sometimes the car electrics would shut off for 1 second( incl the headlights LOL). took it in and the tech said some wires were lose..they fixed it and its been fine since.

quit spilling your coffee on the buttons j/k They probably wouldnt go bad if they wouldn't default to comfort every time you get in the car.

Its happening to my 2010 E63 too. It stays on C mode only. but it can go to S+ mode if I press AMG. Did they fixed your problem? How much was for the new parts? Sucks for me, i'm out of warrenty.

Sports Mode Knob
I just picked up my nice 2013 C63 AMG on Friday. Only 14K on clock. Just been serviced also etc. 2nd day in during many blasts around the sports mode knob would not illuminate when I started her up. Stayed in C mode obviously on the dash, but would and was dead. Left it for half an hour and all was fine again. It seems a couple of others have had this problem. Wondered if it was a common thing or maybe as one other member said it was a faulty knob (maybe from a grubby other driver previously) and when replaced no issue. I wondered should I flag it up now to the dealer or see how it goes? It may be intermittent but if its done it once it sounds like a replacement would be wise under warranty?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You can flag it with the dealer but if it is operating properly when you take it in I doubt they will do anything. There seems to be a few intermittent faults that pop up then go away never to return. If it is currently working correctly you will be wasting your time with the dealer.
