Anybody else is experiencing these significant problems in their 2019 S63 COUPES?




I'm experiencing the following mechanical issues so far in less than 3 months of ownership:
1. ASSYST PLUS Service reminder indicates that my next service is due in 24000 Miles instead of 10000 Miles.
2. The vehicle shakes when Ideal no matter what driving mode is selected.
3. The vehicle shakes for about 10 to 15 seconds then smoothens during average acceleration on a highway or local driving.
4. The vehicle has an interment jerk when accelerating from a stop no matter if it was cold or warm.
5. There is a metallic cranking noise coming from behind the AC Air vents after it warms up no matter the AC fan is on or off.
6. The passenger side window goes up half way then back down while trying to close it, but the service department fixed it.
7. Finally, the passenger-side sensors warning audio and the 360 cameras are always on while slowing down during Highway or local speed.

2. Yes, slightly rough idle when in P, but not D Hold
3. No
4. Yes, crappy 9G-Tronic.
5. No, but my 2017 had that. Fixed under warranty.
6. This happens sometimes. Just follow the manual, and keep the rubber seals clean.
7. Proximity warning comes on occasionally when driving near lorries and other things that have lots of metal. But maybe once a week only.
Here's my list for the car's first service:
- jerk at low speed
- Telemetry shows gas pedal 0% when using Distronic+
- steering wheel assist warning
- Trickle connection broken
- Door sill light brightness
- AMG cylinder deactivation
- Squeak going over speed humps @~23
- What does COMAND Personalization do?
- Trunk hands free access fails
- Recall Campaign 2019040024 and 2019040025




We paid that much for these vehicles and by the end comes with that many issues!!!
Its been in the service since last week for the 4th time in 3 months, but at least my dealer doesn't damage it while its there.
My 3rd AMG, the 1st 2 no issues at all.

2: only when cold, after half a minute it is (almost) gone. Never had this with the old M157 5,5 Liter V8.
6: seems a common "feature", had this already on my Audi, a friend of mine has the same on his Bentley and on my previous S63 I had it sometimes. Reset the window module (pressing 5-10 seconds down, up and down again) will probably solve it. Seems the same vendor of all these window mechanisms?
7: not always, but only in crowded streets. You can loosen the sensibility of this "feature" somewhere in the menu (under Parking sensors somewhere you can select "close" or "less close" or something).

f: did not manage to activate this "feature" yet. Was able to get "sailing mode" , so complete engine is off when driving downhill or on a flat without pressing the pedals.
h: so you can use several COMAND settings and store that under a Personal profile (connected to your ME Account). So you can easily switch to profile YOU abnd profile WIFE or GUEST or others. Includes color schemes, etc.
j: the links do not work, what does it concern?
BTW, tried to post on the new AMG Lounge forum, but it seems to be Read Only for now..........tried different computers, tablets, smartphones and different browsers, but reply-en does not seem to work...........also pics of avatars are not visible anymore.
Of course I know this is not the right place for comments regarding another forum, but............since it is not possible to post there anymore, maybe somebody here knows what is wrong or how to solve it???

Recall Campaign 2019040024 APR19 – 2018-2019 222, 217 equipped with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist the Hands-off Detection function of Active Steering Assist may incorrectly assume drivers hands are on the wheel. As a result, the system would not provide any warnings for the driver to return hands to the wheel and would not ultimately bring the vehicle to a stop. Dealer will update the electronic power steering (EPS) software. Approximately 6203 vehicles are involved.
Recall Campaign 2019040025 APR19 – 2018-2019 222, 217 equipped with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist, boot for the steering shaft may not have been installed according to production specifications. Hands-off Detection function of Active Steering Assist may incorrectly assume the drivers hands are on the wheel. As a result, the system would not provide any warnings for the driver to return hands to the wheel and would not ultimately bring the vehicle to a stop. Dealer will check the position of the steering boot and rework. Approximately 6200 vehicles are involved.

If you have a 2019 S63 coupe or Can, can you send me a picture of your Assist plus services reminder showing after how many miles your service is due, I prefer a photo that shows the dash of the S63 Coupe or Cab.
Unfournatly, not much 19 coupes are available around me so the technician can verify its in my vehicle ONLY and not a recall like what MBUSA is claiming.
I really appreciate your help with this matter.
Thanks in advance.

There are more problems than that!!








problem 5 : i think there is a design blind spot for MB and you have warranty , so you can let them check and fix at anytime, but for my car I actually found out is the silver plastic lining on the door made the cranking noise (the vent does too but it is too small when you have music on, so I just ignore it )
problem 7 : If you had a wrap on your car let the guy who wrap ur car take wrap that cover the sensors off, otherwise if you dont have a wrap, you got ur warranty, and just let MB check it, reset it or get you a new one
hope it will be helpful




Order MY20 but too worried to face the same issues that I faced with that one especially that I noticed a lot of them were bought back for major issues, some with less than 1000 miles.
@efathalla sounds like your MY19 was truly a lemon, and if MB repurchased it must be so because they don't do that except for good cause.

What im facing with my 2020 S63 convertible is a knocking noise during cold start up, i don't know how to actually describe it. But its like two things are crancking with each other. I went to the nearest MB dealership and they said that it's fine and normal. However, im quite sure its not !
if someone can help me with that please, that would be much appreciated 🌹
