Water on drivers floor
My wife’s 2019 GLC63 Coupe has less than 3k on it.
Woke up this morning after a pretty hard rain last night to find about 1/2” of water on the drivers side floor. The doors, windows and sunroof were all fully closed.
After shop vacuuming the water out I started it and immediately got a suspension malfunction warning. The suspension keeps going back and forth from S+ to S then the warning again.
Anyone experienced this?

So some follow up:
it was the sunroof drains clogged.
dealer says not under warranty even though the car has fewer miles than required 10k maintenance. I had to get my insurance company involved.

Another update: both wiring harnesses under the drivers floor need to be replaced. Parts need to be made to VIN in Germany and are 15 weeks out at a cost to my insurance company of $14,000.
Takeaway: keep those drains clear!

Where U were driving that U get them clogged with 3k on ODO ? This is absolute BS!!
Your car is almost NEW, if U really did not forget anything opened, there is some other issue like wrong sealing in you sunroof/window or etc.
It should be covered under warranty.

Dealer said service interval 10,000 miles or 1 year, their position is it should have been serviced since it’s a 2019. So basically they can duck any warranty claim if we don’t bring our cars in once a year, I agree- BS.
Dealer also said clog was from “dirt and debris”
I won’t have the car back for 12 weeks, but when I pick it up you better believe I’ll find out where these drains are and how to clear them.

Update: so 12 weeks turned into over 6 months, got the car back last week. Delays in AMG parts and qualified technicians. Final bill to insurance company was $20k. Sheesh.
