Finally found a 2018 without any issues on it's CF. Waiting on VMI simply because CF doesn't report it doesn't mean it didn't have it but having stumbled across so many 2018 with issues and ones that were buy-backs or lemon'd I wonder if it would be better having one that had all the issues and resolve versus a ultra-low mileage one which may not have had an opportunity to stretch it legs and experience the problems.

These repairs are indicative of misfiring and I agree w/ E634ME. Is this the case for most if not all the 2018?
Have the revisions in firmware and parts resolved any of this? Have the issues been resolved in newer models?
Anyone know more about this car? Came across it as well. Actually just sold my W212 wagon that was a buyback, so it could be a continuation of a very odd niche for me.

I agree, there’s so many buybacks on the 2018’s that it feels like there’s gotta be some kind of theme to it? I’m one to roll the proverbial dice, but helps to know the game I’m playing.
