Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support malfunction

The Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) may experience sensor failures or software glitches, leading to reduced or non-functional braking assistance during emergencies.

Engine brake performance issues

The engine brake, rated at 255 hp, might not perform optimally due to wear and tear or improper maintenance, resulting in decreased braking efficiency.

Fuel injection problems

The Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) system may encounter issues such as clogged injectors, fuel pump failures, or software malfunctions, affecting engine performance and efficiency.

Turbocharger failures

The M264 engine is turbocharged and may suffer from common turbo-related issues like boost leaks, turbo lag, or even turbo failure due to high mileage or lack of proper maintenance.

Oil consumption

The M264 engine may have higher than normal oil consumption, which can lead to frequent top-offs and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Timing chain wear

The M264 is prone to timing chain wear, which can cause rattling noises, engine misfires, or even catastrophic engine failure if the chain breaks.

Cooling system failures

The engine may experience issues with the cooling system, such as radiator leaks, water pump failures, or thermostat malfunctions, leading to overheating.

Electrical issues

Modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles often face electrical problems, which can affect various engine and braking systems, leading to unexpected malfunctions or warning lights.
