WTF! Check Engine Light at 11k miles!
Got a Check Engine Light (CEL) about 2 weeks ago. Used a code reader and got code P0308 which is 'Cylinder 8 Misfire Detected'. Taking to dealer tomorrow. Wouldn't have expected a CEL or misfire with only 11,700 miles on my GLE63s

Could be bad plug or injector...I bet they clear it (again) and wait for it to happen again then maybe react...

Maybe both but more easy. I don't race or track. When I do performance drive it's usually for just seconds.
I fear something serious. Dropped car at dealership on Monday and no updates yet. Sent email this morning. Another issue was the car never goes into EQ Start/Stop mode in at least 8 months. I cannot get the car to turn off at stop lights while in Comfort/EQ mode.

Very common to have misfire issues on these V8s, it has been happening since they came out. I have been out of MB since the end of last year but i'd be surprised if they have actually fixed it at this point, they were over a year in and were still guessing at things. Don't worry, that's what your warranty is for, they will fix it.

I also had my first c/e light after about 25k kms...I ran a scan but decided not to clear and took to the dealer..they cleared them and called after a week to check status...none returned...this was 4 weeks ago....I suspect it was the -38C temp we had and/or bad fuel...my GLE has been faultless...except for a few minor trim issues,,,exhaust tip peeling a little...replaced under warranty...I replaced the rear brake pads myself,,,that's it !!

It's OK to clear it. Dealer will still see a CEL. Clearing a CEL is not gonna remove from the system entirely.
