GL550 hesitation on start up
does anyone else with a GL550 experience a hesitation when starting the car?

i've noticed a hesitation and the dealer hasn't been able to figure out what is causing it.

if anyone has had a similar issue, and a fix was done can you please share details.

thanks.

I was having the same issues with my 2008 Gl550 and just changed the battery for an interstate battery and no more issues.

Thanks. Battery was replaced under warranty with a new one, but the issue is still there.

Ask your dealer to check the coils going to the spark plugs.

Just in case anyone has a similar issue, dealer replaced the starter motor and now its starting up fine and actually turns over much quicker.

New AGM and auxiliary batteries went in today. Let's hope this staves off a starter replacement anytime soon. Free install was great!
