Brand New 2020 AMG GT 53 Engine died
Anyone else have this issue? I don’t even have 2,000 miles on the car! I did everything according to the rules of the break in period also and never drive hard or push the pedal to the floor. I don’t understand why the engine died.
Had to get towed today and the dealer said the engine is dead and has to be replaced. Insane...

I felt the car shaking slightly when at a light on the way to work this morning. When I got to work I heard a clicking noise, so I called dealer and they told me to bring it in early, but I didn’t make it and had to be towed.

So they are giving me a brand new engine and it was in stock. I get the car back next week. Still crazy that a car this expensive and not even 2,000 miles on it the engine dies.

Probably something came loose, rather than wear out. Still not excusable.

I leased the car, would never buy a German car, every Benz I’ve had since 2003 has had issues, all my friends bmws have had issues, etc. lease only, if I ever wanted to buy, I would buy Japanese.
