AMG GLE 63S
Angry Thinking to set my AMG GLE 63S on fire..

Just went for a drive and my car started cracking/scratching... Check video..
Really angry and disappointed on this car.

- No i didn't hit anything.
- After a little stop, it stopped doing that.. and i went back home. I drive it back and didn't experienced the same problem..
- Will check tomorrow the problem at my local dealer.

I think it may be this particular car that you own. I read your other thread. Even this is not considered a USED car, it is not new. It is possible that it was driven hard and something got damaged?

A gaggle of MB's
To me - sounds like a caliper "freeze" - for those that have not followed this thread - the GLE63 was purchased from a German "rental car company" - as a former "demo" - and that "demo" history is in some doubt - as there may be significance that this vehicle may or may not have had minor-to-major prior accident history, and/or minor-to-major track use - that not recorded or reported to the buyer.

Keep the beat !

Please remove any magnesium from the vehicle first. Although it will be very pretty if your standing back far enough.



(Sorry for you troubles. I've been in a similar situation before, but not as bad, and it is frustrating. Good luck.)

So obv the video sounds terrible in terms of the sound you're hearing

What does the dealership say?

It's a car and things go wrong they just do.. At ANY price point. Ownership varies in terms of the owners tolerance of things that go wrong and that ultimately determines how disappointed you will be

To me I would just drop it off and let Benz handle it and focus on life's other more concerning problems

I hope you get this fixed

I read the original post and although the dealership checked for issues and didn't find any... That noise (which is horrible) sounds exactly like a stone rubbing the rotor and/or stuck between the rotor and brake/dust cover. I had this same thing happen to my M3 many years ago - ended up being a stone lodged in there.

Agree. My wife's old volvo S40 had a very similar issue/sound, and it was a stone.
