2013 C63 Car stalling at red light.
I just recently bought this car and when I come to a full stop at a red light and the car is in Sport + I change it to Comfort Mode and the car just stalls. Can someone give me some info on what this can be. It will be gladly appreciated. Thank you

Had it happen for the first time in my 14 507 the other day, never had an issue in 2.5 years of owning it - was driving it a bit hard in S+ and then M and switched it back to C at a light and died dead and didn't want to restart, put it in park and said it wasn't in P put it back in D then P and it worked and took a few tries to start it back up - super weird but seems to happen a lot. Checked codes and car had no codes to indicate anything went wrong on mine.
In my case I think I put it from M to S+ while I was still moving and not fully stopped, manual says to not do this
Only change from automatic drive program C, S or S+ to manual drive program M when the vehicle is stationary.

Technically you are supposed to be able to go between M, S, C S+ etc while moving, but do it only while sationary and the user maual doesn't say you can or should while moving. It's kind of vague. But if your car is stalling, most likey as mentioned, it is a fuel cut off problem or an ignition issue, or injector issue...you need codes or you will have to start replacing everything and do process of elimination...

Was this ever solved? I just had this problem with my 507. I was driving in S+, stopped at a red light and switched it to C and the car completely died (all lights lit up on the dash). I had to turn off the car completely and start it up again.

I don't have the full answer, but that it can die out at idle might be that the alternator is going bad and cannot put out enough power to run the engine at idle rpm's. Use a voltmeter on the battery terminals while the engine is running, you should see 14V or greater. If it's low 12V or under then it's the alternator.

Same thing just happened to me today. Downshifting pretty hard on an off ramp in S+, stop and switch to C. Car stopped and lights came on. Had to put in park and start.

Me too factory software, only mod at the time of the issue was secondary cat delete and high flow primaries - my 12 C63 never experienced the issue the 2 years I had it and had a secondary cat delete on it most of the time and had eurocharged tune on it for 1 year. When it happened to me it was uphill at a light, after some spirited downshifts in M mode, came to a stop but may have been still moving just a little when I moved it from M to S+ mode and engine just shutoff and could not restart after putting in park by hitting the button, had to hit the button a bunch of times probably to get it fully off and back on before it would start and then it started and has been fine ever since.

UPDATE: Car died on me twice in one trip. Once in "C", and once in my garage in "S+". So apparently, my fix wasn't a fix after all. The hunt continues.
Regards,
Joe.

for the aftermarket tune guys...same thing, but as most if not all shelf tunes do not actually adjust fueling, your fueling generally is way off the mark and the above stated items are accentuated even further.
stock guys, if your fuel trims are more than +/- 5 at idle, you have an air leak from PCV, throttle body mounting plate, or other. tuned, guys...can't help you as i didn't build the tune for you, but generally speaking shelf tunes are usually off by +/- 12 or more. this combined with an air leak does not allow the ECU enough of room for error to correct fueling since fueling is already way off. in turn what occurs is the engine dies when in a perfect situation, the computer will raise the rpm by 50 or make a micro adjustment to fuel.

I will check my fuel trims, new PCV and new intake manifold gaskets and plugs about 18 months ago, before it stalled that one time, but new doesn't mean no leaks either.
