2020 GLE 400 D and a 2024 EQE 350SUV
Drive line Vibration

My 2008 C280 has a fine driveline type vibration that is very slight but I can feel it through the whole car. Its between 60 and 100 kph. after that its as smooth as silk.

Tyre pressures, WB and WA have been checked.

Any one else having this problem?

I can feel some vibration from the engine when accelerating, and when coasting, it mainly is an annoying "crunchy" vibration coming through the gas pedal

Not on my C, but I have had experience in the past with bad motor mounts transmitting vibrations at particular speeds.

Probably a wheel balance issue

Unbalanced drive shaft or the wheel balance is off ( check it again somewhere else). it doesn't take much for a WB to cause vibration.

Same issue that I have...vibration through the gas pedal and the engine sounds rough and "gruffy" most of the time during acceleartion. In addition, the engine idling is rough and noisy.

obviously, something is not right. I still say it sounds like a motor mount issue but let us know what the dealer tells you.
