Common Problems with the C63 AMG
#76
I had an s2000 for a while and after beating it to death, driving in DC and other pothole infested/bumpy roads too, I never ever got even a squeak or rattle...and remember, it was a convertible as they all are. The tight suspension is on par with a C63 too.

So far on the car they have taken the driver's seat apart and felted it in various spots to stop BAD squeaking and changed the shock to fix the rattle in the rear. The car now is great... no squeaks, no rattles, no strange noises.

Rattle above the driver's side dash
Had to top off the oil after 500 miles
Hood did not fully close/align on the right side---dealer fixed
Slight thumping noise starting off in first gear coming from the front--intermittent/not a clue
Twice wouldn't start--think it is an issue with the key?
Small tank--at the gas station more than with any car I have ever owned. With only short daily trips too
Very happy with the car as is and these are minor issues that I can live with

I have it. Last time I brought it in to the dealer, they said it's the rear speaker cover and I was told it's felted to drive the rattling away. But obviously it's come back.

Anyone have a issue with the driver seat making lots of noise? maybe its because im a big guy and the plastic is bending? but i owned a s550 e350 gl450 and never has a problems with the seat making noises. really annoying and every 10 seconds i hear it.

Yep... They took mine apart and applied felt in various places to stop the crazy squeaking. Now it is perfectly quiet.

self cancelling clattering
Look at 1-8-12 input this thread for loose grill after touching it with a sponge during washing. Well I listened in distress as wife started the car this week and a loud clatter came from the engine compartment. It sounded like either dry lifters or a loose pulley . In an immaculate healing the car was perfect upon return. I believe the grill has again loosened in its clips as I had just washed the car. Hardly Mercedes class fit and fitment, but nice recovery.

2012 C63 Coupe. Eurocharged, Charcoal Filters Removed, R-S3 Tires
My new C63 Coupe started having rattling noise in the dashboard after 2000km.
The parking sensores didn't work since the day I picked it up from the dealer. I brought it back and the dealer changed the parking sensor module as it was not functioning since the day it was installed at the factory in Germany. I think after that the rattling noise started. Do you guys know where the module located in the car?
The dealer says they didn't touch the dashboard as the module is under the passenger floor area. I have to bring it back to fix the noise but I'm afraid if they touch the dash board it will make even more noise after. Actually this is also what one of the service reps at MB told me. He said: "every time we disassemble a dashboard it makes 4 times more noise!" WDF?????
What a disappointment!!! Such a nice performance toy from AMG and so poor quality from MB!!!
What are you suggestions???

my wife bananas! :D
question for you guys with the rattling and squeeks.. when you took it to the dealer to check it out and fix it... was it covered or did you have to pay out of pocket?
i got some squeeking as well and its annoying... but not sure if it will cost me like 2 hrs of labour to find and then x to fix.
lastly, i noticed many of you with more serious problems mentioned you saw the actual MB invoice.. the one back to MB. Are we in a position to ask for a copy for our own records to see exactly what was fixed?

I will say the only disappointment with this car are the squeaks. This is the worst car I have owned from this perspective (2 M3s and 2 G37 coupes) by far in the last 6-7 years. It is a little disappointing from MB. The dealer has been greatso far in fixing the issues but I expect the dash creaking I'm now getting won't be easily fixed.

I have a very annoying rattle coming from the center dash/vents, when i hold the dash with my hand over bumps it kinda goes away. I also have rattles in the speedo as well not as annoying as the dash.
The rear brake light in the rear by the rear speakers rattles around as well when the music is up and that's very fustrating.
I do love the car but man I've never had a car with so many rattles after 50 miles on it!. Very poor fit and finish by mercedes.
My corvette 08 z06 and standard 06 corvette didn't rattle anywhere near this car!

I'm scheduled with Midtown Merc to drop off my car for a fix on Wednesday. I will keep you posted on results.

09 w 45k miles
1. uses about a half quart of oil every 1000miles
2. brakes squeak at low speeds
3. trunk creaks when opening
4. hits 2nd gear hard sometimes...almost like dropping the clutch in a manual with a big chirp of the tires
5. always hit the button to open the center console by accident
6. grille came loose on drivers side
7. My 02 E55 had a way better build quality and NEVER used a drop of oil no matter how hard I beat it....wish I never got rid of it

I test drove a couple of c63 coupes before i bought mine and they all had rattles with no miles on them, very shocking to say the least.
Its still a great car and I love it but I can't stand rattles
