2016 S63C...is this normal?

with just under 200 miles, my car seems to have developed a thud/ban coming from the front wheel(s) while in a sharp slow turn...like pulling in/out of a parking spot or garage. is this normal?

I'm really getting pissed with MB and have to vent. I've been a BMW guy and wanted to try something new. It seems each time I take the MB out, there's a new issue. My problems thus far:

1) condensation in both front lights
2) MBrace remote start is a bad joke!!!!!!
3) can't keep the ECO on default off...like BMW
4) Two recalls allready
5) hard banging downshifts to 1st while in sport mode - while easy driving
6) now the front wheel banning

How much do you have to pay to get a working MB? More than 185k i guess.

Later edit: Seems i confused your car S63 with my 63S...
Still same problems..


Hi, i'm sad to say i have the same problems + a few more..

- Cracking/popping sound from the front wheels in 60-100% of the steering right or left in drive or in reverse (this not happens all the time..)
- Front headlights also gets foggy because of condensation also the interior beams are scratched.
- Both rear stop lights cracked, seems because of the leds..
And a few more little problems...

Really disappointed after paying ~ 140k Euros...

"Disappointed" is a good word for it. I'm trying to enjoy my new MB, but it's hard to turn a blind eye. I've owned may cars from vintage, expensive, and in-expensive. I've never seen so many recalls, issues and things not working as I have with the brand new MB.

Best of luck to you...

MCT is a POS; well-known phenom: this is ~8yo news

Rest of bugs are arguably within normal % of any $200K+ AMG or P or F (or $50MM+ jets or any other luxury good/svc on planet): that's what warranties/lemon laws/relationships w/dealers, etc are for....

Find new, 2yr leased 65s are best value car on planet (63s among worst)....would do barbell strategy if couldn't casually lease a $250K disposable, leased, commuter 65: 2yr lease a C300 until can....
