The vehicle lacks Dynamic Brake Support, which helps reduce stopping distances in emergency braking situations. This may increase the risk in sudden stop scenarios.

High engine brake horsepower can lead to increased wear and tear on engine components and may require more frequent maintenance.

V-shaped engines can be more complex and harder to maintain due to their design, potentially leading to higher repair costs.

Turbocharged engines can suffer from turbo lag, increased maintenance requirements, and potential turbocharger failure.

Direct fuel injection systems may suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, requiring periodic cleaning or maintenance.

Specific engine configurations like the L-9 might have unique maintenance needs or potential issues that are less common in other designs.

DBS may fail to activate properly, leading to insufficient braking force during emergency stops.

The in-line configuration can sometimes lead to uneven fuel distribution, causing misfires.

Turbochargers can suffer from lag, overboost, or mechanical failure, affecting engine performance.

Direct fuel injection (DFI) systems are prone to clogging or failure, leading to poor fuel economy and performance.

The engine's high performance can put strain on the cooling system, leading to overheating issues.

High-performance engines can experience accelerated wear on timing chains or belts, leading to potential engine damage.

Modern engines rely heavily on ECU for management, and faults can lead to various performance issues.

Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, leading to reduced efficiency and power.

High torque from the engine can put stress on the transmission, leading to wear or failure.

High-performance engines are often more prone to oil leaks, especially around the turbocharger and seals.

DBS might fail to activate during emergency braking situations, reducing the effectiveness of the braking system.

The turbocharger (TC) can suffer from lag, failure, or reduced efficiency, affecting engine performance.

DFI systems can develop carbon buildup on intake valves, leading to misfires and reduced fuel efficiency.

The V-shaped configuration can sometimes cause uneven cooling and hotspots, leading to potential overheating issues.

Timing chain issues are not uncommon in some Daimler engines, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.

V8 engines, like the one in this model, can be prone to oil leaks, especially around the valve covers and oil pan.

Modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles can experience electrical problems, affecting various engine and vehicle functions.

Misfires can occur due to ignition coil or spark plug failures, which can be more common in high-performance engines.

The fuel system can suffer from contamination, affecting the DFI and overall engine performance.

Various sensors (oxygen, MAF, etc.) can fail, leading to incorrect readings and potential engine performance issues.
