Hi all,

I've been a happy owner of a 2017 W205 C63S since May of last year when I picked up the car - until this evening. I had a run in with a jerk in a Honda on the highway, who decided that a C63S passing him in an empty fast lane was just not right - and who just cut right into me at the last second. So in equal manner, I moved over a lane, watched him pound the throttle on his little 4 banger accord and inch away for a few seconds.... and gave the throttle a tug to reclaim my place (he tried to get in front of me again after, no idea what that was about - people are mental).

That being said a little later after I got off the highway, I noticed the dash light up with a slab of errors. Dunno if this guy's lack of horsepower is somehow balanced out by excessive voodoo magic skills and he hexed my car?

I presume that some errors are just generic canned messages that are triggered by one or two systems being disabled. On the list are :

Suspension Malfunction (suspension button is also inoperative with the left LED turned on as though the car is in Sport mode - I had it in Sport+ when the errors came up)
ESP Inoperative
Active Brake Assist Functions Limited
Active Blind Spot Assist Inoperative
Active Lane Keeping Assist Inoperative
I also have the check engine/service light turned on.
After I shut the car off, the screen popped up with the Electronic Rear Axle Differential Lock Inoperative message.

Locked/armed the car - gauges stayed up with the error on the display. Unlocked/turned back on and everything is still showing up after two more cycles.

Has anyone had this happen before? I've had a 2016 S Class with just a suspension failure, but that was the Airmatic. Not sure to what degree the airmatic suspension shares functions and features with a W205 and all of the associated AMG gear (ie. rear diff lock). I'm going with the assumption that the suspension is likely the main point of focus and disabling other systems down to the LSD?

Going to call the stealership on Monday to book a visit, but it would be nice to see if anyone else can give me an idea as to what I could expect (I like to come prepared ).

Cheers!

 

 

I am not sure also but perhaps blown fuse or battery/voltage related? Just guessing of course. I recall someone else had this issue before. Perhaps do a search.

 

Had some fun with the dealer today who is booked solid till mid August; I'm just going to tow it in and let them deal with it (and have my rental reimbursed). There's a good restaurant next door while I wait for the flatbed to drive me to the next entrance over. (searched the internet over for W205 suspension fault but couldn't find anything, maybe I'm just aging poorly and can't use search features the way that I used to :o)

 

 

Hey x - fire I know this thread is old but I'm having the suspension malfunction display on my car with the sport light stuck on and the ride like a stiff pogo stick!! I'm just wondering what the final verdict was on your car?

 

I have a 2021 GLE 53 AMG, WITH 30,00KMS on it, I rarely go for long drives , but today today I went for a five hour drive and an hour from home I got the error malfunction don't drive above 80kmph AND THE LITTLE COIL symbol , so I pulled over tuned off the car, and then the ERROR cleared, I drove for a further 1 hour it didn't come back, but its off to dealer Friday, as I only have two years of warranty left, and want everything fixed , before warranty runs out, I got anther error too that the front camera is restricted, and my lane control and auto collision detection was offline, , and it did it about 10 times... I had a E200 for 8 years and I never got one single error ever with it, starting to wonder about all the computer and software on this machine, or perhaps its build quality? Maybe I should have stuck with german built car, instead of one built in the USA!

 

software update by the dealer fixed the issue all free under Australian warrnety
