Bro just wondering what is your update out of curiosity.
Same $h!t bro. I get notifications car being switched on and off every now and then. I finally got a hold of Service director who recently came back from vacation. He is supposed to get back to me with a reasonable answer on his employees joy ride I’ve mentioned previously. I just can’t wait to situate the issue do I can move on with my next car purchase. I may or may not stick with Merc at this point.

I honestly think you just unfortunately got a lemon. But it totally makes sense if you want to leave Merc after your experience.

True... I just had all sorts of bad lucks ever since I got the car even though I don’t believe much in bad luck. I’m interested to see the new BMW M4 if you’ve heard about it. Otherwise another Merc

In case you were wondering, they finally released the car yesterday (after 73 day being in the shop, excluding previous visits). Below are the RO notes.

I do not even know what they changed and what they did not anymore. They changed only one spark plug again? I really think you should not let them get away with this. If one spark plug has carbon deposit, the others most definitely do. They should change all 8 or nothing.
oy... If the OP is anything like me... they will be silent while negotiating or going thru something like this until it's done....... there are obviously dealership employee's on these forums who may or may not report back to the boss's about forum traffic.... best to go silent until it's done...
I was just reading up on what happens to these lemons. Turns out they are just sold again as a used vehicle with little information for the new buyer to know that it was returned as a lemon. Sucks for the next buyer.
As I was telling my wife, “they actually fixed my car this time” and came to a stop and did a quickie race start in S+ mode, got the misfire followed by flashing CEL, followed by solid CEL back on, followed by power loss and rattling. Since couldn’t stop immediately, on my next stop, turned the car off and turned it back ON after 15-20 min, engine light was gone and everything went back to normal
I’m going to shut up here and give you technical info only...
will have to drop off the car back to dealer on Monday I guess at this point
This sure is a weird thread...glad you got a 6x6 but why would you even want to keep dealing with this car you've never really been able to enjoy? Are you really human? LOL
Good luck, I suppose the thread is entertaining to read, if nothing else...

I am going to keep reading for entertainment purposes.
Hahaha. Glad to hear it being entertaining for some of you guys. I tend to state some technical facts here. At this point I really have no choice but to pick up the car once it’s “fixed and ready to be picked up” and drive it until the issue comes back and drop it off to the sealer for repair and going through the loop until my Lemon is processed. Technically I’m still liable for the car until it’s situated by MBUSA and law firm. The reason it takes so much to process is because the courthouse in my county is way too busy and they go through cases very slowly...
I’ll post my Laguna Seca final lap here which I enjoyed sometime today.

While I have no doubt your car is a lemon, I can't help but notice the complete incompetence of your dealership though. I personally think your injectors and spark plugs were completely fine. Something is frying them again and again. So if the ignition coil is going kaput again and again, clearly it is not your ignition coil that is not wonky. It makes way more sense to start with your engine wiring harness. Regardless if you can get the car declared as lemon or not, I would have created a havor in the dealership for getting this fixed. It really is not that hard to fix a problem like. There is only so many system. Change everything in the line altogether and problem should technically be gone. They are just playing with you and changing things one bit at a time.

Agreed! I'm going to take it to a different dealer this time regardless of knowing the fact that I won't be keeping the car anymore. But until then, story to be continued lol
Btw, I had a 2020 GLC 300 (****ty still) loaner for a while with updated MBUX which I loved the system. I don't like our infotainment system anymore lol
I got a CEL yesterday. Used my OBD2 scanner to pull the codes and see three codes, two related to engine misfires and another one I'm not sure if it's related. I'm going to take it to the dealership after the holidays to see what they say. I am suspecting similar issue as the OP wrt coil packs / spark plugs.
@OP - Any updates regarding your issue? Did you continue to see more CELs after repeated fixes?

P0300, P0301 and C0703
Wishing you a good luck on that one! lol
Yeah, I haven't been keeping you guys up to date. Took the car to a different dealer (after the joy ride issue with my previous dealership). They also work with MBUSA using the same open case with them. This time they were told to open the engine and check for any mechanical failures (see below pics). Per my new SA, no mechanical issues were observed and no fixes were applied. MBUS has ordered the dealership to keep driving the car and observing the Misfire issues. My car has been driven all over, even stays the nights in technician house (per Mercedes Me app) I even seen the tech taking the car to shopping center (not sure exactly why)...
My Lemon Law process is still moving forward but very slowly. The car has been at the dealer for total of 178 days as of today with total of 4 trips to dealer. I took delivery on April 4th this year. I only had the car for 85 days which was mostly garaged due to my accident...
Hoping to start a better year next year
Again, I'm only providing technical info here and nothing else.
