I had the same issue with my last car, an E550 coupe. Accelerate hard and the cel would come on and the car would run rough until I pulled over, turned off the engine and restarted. It was the coil packs but my car was out of warranty so I had to pay out of pocket. The E550 had the 4.7l biturbo V8 engine, I know, different engine than our cars but the problem is identical. Once they replaced the two coil packs that were causing the problem the car worked as it should but I decided to trade it in on the CPO C63 I have now. I drive my car quite a bit so having a warranty is added peace of mind.

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

First of all, I want to bump this thread and get the OP back involved. Second, I am sorry for your pain. My wife has 850 miles on her 2020 C63S coupe. I can't imagine shorty after she gets her 1,000 miles and gets to kick it and she gets a CEL...... I cannot imagine my marriage could go through this for months on end. This is not funny by any stretch.
b3ns c63 amg, where are you on this? I think of all those months wasted sitting in the shop with other people using your! car for lunch breaks and intentionally driving your! car aggressively trying to get a fault code. And racking up the mileage.
BTW, have you been making lease payments during this time? I might suggest: You call the dealership, ask for the GM. Regretfully, you are returning their car to them. Tell him: "You have the car. You have the keys. It's yours. And walk away. Give them one week to respond with an offer of a buyout or trade. Call an attorney and inform him/her what you've done.

I really have nothing against the brand and in fact, I may actually custom built an identical car or move to a GT line once my current car is situated.
Oh btw, not sure if I ever mentioned the car was physically damaged (by the dealer) when I last picked it up. This is including my own wheels, Side skirt, front bumper apron, and front bumper
I'm currently stuck with another basic E class loaner

I know. Thanks man! At this point, I've given up on cars/life/motivation jk maybe that's too much to say lol
Or maybe I should look into a different brand that treats you better in these situations...

Jeez this sucks. I can only imagine your frustration. Paying for someone else to joyride and use the vehicle must be infuriating. You should put a stop to that. Extremely unprofessional.
Hey how reputable is your legal counsel? I thought CA has some of the strongest lemon laws in the nation. MBUSA seemed decent with buybacks of misfiring engines in the 2018 E63s.
