Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG

MBUX system would not turn on. Warnings of Blind Spot in operatable, Parktronic not operatable. Was not able to access any features through MBUX. Climate Control, Operation of Covertable Top, Maps, all options run through MBUX. It was a safety issue because the battery light comes on, after being on charge, and without access to MBUX, you do not know if the car will stall on the freeway, or at a stop light. Safety issues also around front lift without cameras access. The vehicle was inspected…

Had some issues with turn signals and a check engine light. My car is a 2013 SL63 AMG with 22700 miles. It sits in garage 95 percent of the time under cover. Took car to dealer and they replaced both batteries it fixed al of the lights except my turn signal. I asked the dealer why didn't you check the turn signal I got no response. I had to drive to Louisville the next day and on the way home I noticed my headlights were out and had to drive 75 miles with only fog lights. I took it to another…

When driven on the highway, speed drops abruptly down (65 mph to 40 mph) stuck on 4 or 3rd gear in this automatic 9 speed transmission and gear won't shift up causing engine rpm rise over 3000 & gas pedal won't have effect even it was pushed down to floor all the way. Almost rear ended in multiple occasion & it is extremely dangerous to change lane to get off to safety as car does not respond to throtle up or gas pedal to speed up. Dealer was not able to duplicate issue in two service visit…

Initially got a transmission malfunction warning and to turn car off. The cars battery keeps dying at only 1500 miles. Constantly needs to be on trickle charger. Recently the car died, charged battery. Car turned over for 3 seconds then stalled. Now car even with full battery with turn over but will not start whatsoever. Has to be towed. Multiple people ok forms reported this same issue.

I WAS DRIVING A 2006 SL65. THE CAR HAD AN ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM. THUS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS CONNECTED TO A SENSOR WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO A PUMP WHICH TURNED THE BRAKES ON. SOMETHING FAILED.
