2021 GLS63 idle vibration
Just bought the 2021GLS63 has 47k miles , Has anyone experienced the idle vibration on gls63 or gls580 that has V8 engine, When the car parked/ stop ,the vibration/shaking is noticeable on both front seat even on the door panel( always as long as the car in use, not just cold start ) . took it to dealership twice they checked motor mounts and CV axle, said nothing wrong all good condition and no error code at all , they stated that is common on a gls63 as V8 animal. I had drove 2 different gls450 I didn’t feel any vibrations at all. As a luxury suv should not be experience like this , I had owned a x166 gls550 v8 and wasn't like that. Thank you for any opinions.

2021 GLS 580 vibration in steering wheel and floor
I purchased this car brand new. Started having intermittent vibration during idle recently. I took the car in for service B and mentioned this. They replaced my motor mounts and transmission mount. In addition, they replaced my steering wheel because the threads were unraveling. After getting the car back, I have had excessive vibration in the steering wheel and on the floor board when the engine is running. I still have the intermittent rough idle, as well. I also feel the car rides much rougher than before the repairs. I have returned to dealer 3 times for this issue. They are telling me this is normal for the GLS 580, however I did not have this before.... very frustrated. A luxury SUV should not feel this way and it didn't prior to the "repair".

The "intermittent" part of your problem is the issue.
Too bad the new mounts didn't work (I wouldn't have expected them to).
So now they've eliminated a variable, and can move forward in fixing the residual problem.
Good luck.

Vibration started after motor mount and steering wheel replacements
The vibration in the steering wheel and floor of my vehicle started after the motor mount and steering wheel replacement. I have returned 3 times and they keep telling me this is normal for my vehicle. What are my other options at this point?

I don't understand the sequence. An earlier post said that they replaced the mounts to correct the vibration, and now you're saying that the mounts caused the vibration. This would be hard for a Shop to follow as well, I'd think.

GLS580
I’m experiencing a similar issue in my ’24 580. It’s a very subtle vibration in the front seats when the car is at idle. My issue is very consistent, so I’m hopeful the dealer will be able to reproduce it Monday when it’s in for service. If anything conclusive is discovered, I’ll report back.

I'm going to get Jeff Jackson's "best price," then go to my Dealer to see if she can beat it.
We'll see.

Check your idle speed.
Under normal conditions my GLS580 starts up idling at 500 rpm and is dead smooth.
If it is hot I think some accessories kick in (fan?) and the car idles at about 800 rpm. Then I can feel a slight roughness or vibration. It disappears after driving the car a few minutes. Then it idles smoothly again at 500 rpm.
Hope this helps.

Similar issue....I Purchased GLS580 2024 In October and its been in the shop 4 times for Shaking at idle and Rough shifting while driving slow. They replaced engine mounts, did alignment, replaced fuel injectors... issue was fixed for 1 day and it went back to its shaking like a tractor....
