Vibration under load @ low RPM HELP

2017 C63s Coupe. Today for the second time since owning the car I received the “ELECTRONIC REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK INOPERATIVE “ message. Not sure if it was coincidence or not but on the way home once car was at normal temp I could feel a vibration in the drive train under load and low rpm. No matter what gear or dynamic setting. Anything over 3-3500 rpm I couldn’t really feel it. Car has 24k miles on it. Any help appreciated before I dump a bunch of money at the dealership.

No worries man, not a serious issue at all and very common. Are you still under warranty? The solution is just a software update and the message should disappear. Awhile back, I would always receive that message anytime going over 10 mph but I was still under warranty so I brought it in. After a software update, never seen that message again. Around the Dallas Fort Worth area, it would cost 180$ if your not under warranty. There are other threads about this issue and majority was solved with the software update.

No longer under warranty unfortunately. The error message doesn’t have me worried as much as the vibration at low rpms under acceleration. Thank you for the response ! Seems ill have to bite the bullet and get it diagnosed at a dealer
