I didnt realise there was a sticking cupholder issue - have never had one.
Is the problem a faulty spring or something else?

That's surprising. Who is that dealer? We should all avoid them.Originally Posted by hookson

Glad to hear about this fix...Hard to believe its a $6000 repair. That's crazy.
I spend my "quality time" reading all the Carfax reports on AMG GT cars to look for trends in defects and trouble spots. Its a fairly common problem in the early years (2016 - 2017) for cupholders to fail and require replacement.

do you mind posting a link?
I would like to see if there are lots of entries for the wiggling drivers seat, and also, when the muffler valve fails.

that's good. I had this issue too. Replaced under warranty. Since then I have been more gentle with it. I think it helps.Originally Posted by hookson
