Problems:
Dynamic brake support (dbs) not available
The vehicle lacks Dynamic Brake Support, which could affect braking efficiency in emergency situations when additional braking force is needed.
Potential turbocharger issues
Since the engine is turbocharged (TC), it may face common turbocharger problems such as turbo lag, oil contamination, or compressor failure.
High maintenance costs
Mercedes-Benz vehicles, especially those with advanced engine configurations like the V-shaped M276, typically have higher maintenance and repair costs.
Complex engine configuration
The V-shaped engine configuration can make some repairs more complex and time-consuming compared to inline engines, potentially leading to higher labor costs.
Fuel efficiency concerns
High-performance engines like the M276 with 385 hp may have lower fuel efficiency, which could be a concern for cost-conscious drivers.
Electronic system failures
Modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles are equipped with advanced electronic systems that could fail and require specialized diagnostic and repair tools.
Issues with direct fuel injection (dfi)
Engines with Direct Fuel Injection can face issues such as carbon buildup on intake valves, which may require regular cleaning or more frequent maintenance.
Engine overheating
High-performance engines are more prone to overheating, especially if not maintained properly or driven aggressively.
Cylinder deactivation problems
If the engine has cylinder deactivation technology (not specified, but possible), it could face issues like uneven engine performance or increased wear on the remaining active cylinders.
High repair costs for engine components
Daimler engines and parts tend to be expensive, which can lead to higher repair costs if major components fail.
