If you don't hold it down, it just puts it in sport mode.

Mine spins the wheels so bad that it is hard to drive with traction control on but when it is off, I know how to feather it for perfect launches

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I am kind of surprised that your GLC 63 struggle with traction especially how it has 4MATIC, what tires do you have on them?

I have a Stage 2, E30-Eurocharged Tune and a TCU tune. I stick best with PS4S and that is what I immediately put on all my cars the second I get them.

You mentioned your vehicle was tuned but I didn't expect it to be a stage 2, that clears it up for me thank you for your reply.

I see but 4MATIC should indeed help a lot despite being rear biased but since a 63 is an enthusiasts' vehicle the wheel spin is a bonus for them. Stage 2 however would be on a different level.

Oh I don’t doubt that, having a stage 2 would dramatically change things for the better…erm, or worst depending on how much money you have in replacing tires that is he he he.

2020 AMG GLC 43 coupe here in Charlotte, NC, which I've had for about a year. My driving style with this vehicle isn't different in any relevant way versus with past vehicles. There is an acceleration dead spot which is the default occurrence when I am coasting at a low speed and then go to accelerate. Common scenarios are driving toward an intersection and rolling forward as you determine if you are clear to go and then accelerating, or slowing down to let a car in the lane next to you go by so you can then switch lanes and accelerate. I swear, I've almost gotten killed a few times when I had time to go but only if I hustled; depress the accelerator, and nothing happens for a full second. Then I go from having enough time to almost getting hit.

MB local dealer where I got the car provided no answers or solutions. Of all the damn ironies, coming back from that dealer after the most recent service appointment, I had to slow down due to a car in my lane waiting to turn left, then tried to gun it to get into the next lane over, and...nothing, just no response. That time I actually aborted the lane change before the acceleration kicked in.

It doesn't do this in any other set of circumstances, not from a dead stop, not when I accelerate quickly after coasting downward to 20 mph (for example). I wonder if anyone else has experienced this or has thoughts? Thank you!

He said, "its a performance car. It's not safe for everyone to drive."

I have since escalated the issue to MBUSA Headquarters and will be relaying this thread as well. Please continue to let places know like car and drive, and reach out to higherups in MB as well. We need this solved. It's not safe

Thankyou so much for posting this

@wizardLee Thanks for sharing that - and WOW, what a horribly arrogant (and stupid) response. It's **clearly a design flaw** and he's trying to spin it as a "feature"? lolol, absurd

Almost got killed again the other day, I just can't 100% eliminate the life long expectation/experience of, you know, my car actually doing something when I hit the accelerator.

Keep us updated!

It was wild though because as we were driving it, there was a window to make a tight intersection turn while de-accelerating and the mechanic driving the car wouldn't take the turn. That spoke in volumes about his trust for the car.

Since that day, I have been caling head quarters and the rep named roman for weeks. He hasn't returned my calls or emails. This whole proccess has been infuriating

I am so glad I am not alone in this. Please everyone try and call mercedes benz head quarters and maybe Car and Driver

Thankyou!
