'13 G63
Angry :mad: 2013 G63 battery drain issues

Purchased a new matte black '13 G63 in October '12 after trading in my white '10 G55.
Starting April '13 with <5000K miles, car would not start because battery was drained. Didn't think much of it and called MB roadside assistance to jumpstart the car. Couple of days later, battery was dead again. Had car jumped and took in for service. Service tested battery, which was fine. They found no issue.
Couple of days again, dead car, jump started and took it right back to service. They held onto the car for 1 week and car died in their possession. They tried to fix a module on the door, didn't work.
In summary, got the car back and returned for same problem 3 more times. Service techs couldn't figure out the problem and had to contact engineers in Germany.
Currently car is still being tested on
Do I have a lemon?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I bought a 2013 E550, and have had the same problem twice. Haven't taken it to the shop yet; based on your experience, not so sure I should.

I had this problem once on my G63. Service couldn't find any problems. Haven't problems since... knock on wood.
