New owner needs some help.. Malfunction alert.

Hey guys, new owner here of a 2020 GTR roadster and had for about 2 weeks. I've driven it maybe 3 times and yesterday I got a message on dash that says..

Malfunction - drive at max 50 mph, the ride gets really rough afterwards. I thought it was possibly a glitch and shut the car and came back a few hours later and took another ride, same thing happened. Seems to clear with an off/on cycle but comes back after a few.


Any ideas? Any others have this experience?

You should do an OBD scan for codes.

Recommend obtaining better OBD scanner such as Carly from Germany: https://www.mycarly.com/brands/mercedes/
This is the most inexpensive scanner with near-Pro level output, as it interrogates most, if not ALL, the MB modules.
In addition, it further allows user to Clear the codes, etc. I've used it to great effect for the W204 C63, and the AMG GT R.
I've been very impressed with its thoroughness and detail.


Best of luck!

Let us know how it all shakes out, so we can also learn!
