Amg c63 a205 (w205 c205 s205) issues cabriolet convertible

[RGL]

Hello all,

New to this mercedes forum , but been lurking here for a while to checking other people feedback on the AMGs.

I pulled trigger and went for A205 - C63 premium Cabriolet and so far I had couple issues with it.

Everyone obviously admire the exhaust note, speed and throttle that peels your face off, however when driving with roof up, I noticed more and more rattles when the exhaust is muted.

- tons of rattles all over cabin, dash near airvent sounds like loose screw moving around when driving on not perfect roads (especially on orange asphalt on m25).
- rattles from both doors, I believe it's the seatbelt extension that actually rattles
- centre console/command rattles
- sunvisor on passanger side rattle (actually was pointed out by mechanic when brought in)
- jerky / kangarooing 1-3 gears in Sport+
- soft top rattles, sounds like heavy rain when roof is up although its not even raining...
- misfire as I had few times that I couldn't get car past 250hp when going by engine readings?
- break squeak, really high pitch

Had car with local MB and they tried to fix it for 3 weeks+ with no luck when some of rattles and roof issues was described as 'charactistics of the c63' by service manager , at what I almost burst out laughing.

So I demanded my c63 back as I had fed up with them trying to give new excuses every time I come back. Had to come back after 1 week after service manager called me saying that car had no rattles to be found or replicated, so I went back and took mechanic on test drive once more to what he confirmed that all same issues that was originally mentioned are still there...this left blush on manager's face when returned back to dealership with mechanic confirming all issues. Last week the car was with local dealer I was told that car has been test driven for longer period and issues fixed which obviously was a lie as car didn't packed up any extra mile (as I was monitoring miles on car on day of drop off and last visits through MercedesMe app) and even when car was collected it had green mould on windows from sitting in compound for weeks.

Now car is with my main dealer who I brough car from, so far they've been good with organising stuff - collection/delivery etc.

Also given details how to lodge official complaint against local dealer as they still should go by MBUK standards which they clearly didnt.

My main dealer even confirmed that they requested info on what's been done on car so not to start from scratch to what local dealer seem to not given any detail or response.

Apart from all these issues, I am most likely here to stay with the AMG, however would keep close eye on all issues while car is under warranty and potentially rejecting it if it won't be fixed and get new one.

Been advised by mate from other branch that AMGs with pana roof and cabrios are the worst to fix and are notorious for rattles comparing to non-pano models, can anyone really confirm this?

Sorry for long post, thought I may have similar experience like someone else have had with their AMG?

Shame that buying 76k car you end up with some lesser models as courtesy cars instead of what you actually pay. Funny way Merc treat their customers...
