CLA35 2022 - Engine problem?

Hello,







I have a 2022 CLA 35 with 50,000 km.







When I start the vehicle, before moving or giving it gas, sometimes the car shakes a bit. Nothing alarming, but it feels like there's a lack of power when the vehicle isn't moving.







The check engine light came on only once, and Mercedes replaced an injector (under warranty).







The problem is not always present, so it's challenging to go to Mercedes and show them the issue. Recently, they replaced the engine head (under warranty), a 19-hour job (around $10,000, under warranty).







They replaced the coil pack (due to a misfire on cylinder 3).







They replaced the chain tensioner.







The issue is still not resolved, and I'm tired of going back and forth to Mercedes for a new vehicle.







I can live with, but I wouldn't want the problem to become more pronounced in the future and be out of warranty.







Have you experienced a similar problem, a lack of power at low RPM without moving, especially when starting the car, below 1000 revolutions per minute?







Thank you!
