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.

I would like to see if there are lots of entries for the wiggling drivers seat, and also, when the muffler valve fails.
