S63 engine shut off recall in process

MBWorld Fanatic!
Had thought the crap 7yo, yet unsolved, MCT box was 63's only major lemon issue
Interesting that they also can't even solve 63 motor software vs basic/critical safety risks of stalling, etc
But not surprised given AMG has struggled to debug old-tech 65 motors despite being in (obviously low) produc for past 10yrs
Of several repeat buyers of new 65s (guys who buy at least 1 new 65/yr) I know, each has had at least one 65 lemoned by MB.....suggests pace of AMG ability to innovate but debug any new tech
But I'd argue AMG is far above Porsche/Ferrari/anyone else in ability to innovate/debug cars vs real world uses
But would also say 63s&MCT of past 5+yrs are a troubling sign of mainstream AMG ineptitude
If not for latest 65s, would have fled AMG a few yrs ago.....
