Hello and thank you for adding me as a member. I have a 2018 GLC43, only 9 weeks old. I traded my CLA45 in for it. Starting to think it was the worse decision I have ever made. I have been reading with interest the discussion regarding the jerkiness and "bunny hopping" of the car when it is predominantly in Sports+ mode. This has occurred to me many times and to such an extent that I am now quite apprehensive to even drive it in this mode at all. I have had it back to the dealership 3 times now. On the first visit, they advised me that the AMG technicians agreed there was an issue and had 'tweaked' the car to try and alleviate the problem. Drove it out and when it was warmed up, put it into Sports+ mode to see how it would go. Same bloody thing happened. Back again. This time they said 'it was just how the car is" and to only drive it in Comfort mode. Seriously? That was their fix? So after taking it back again, and they again told me it was just how the car is and to accept it - well no. I will not be accepting it at all. I have now lodged a formal complaint with our Department of Fair Trading against the dealership. There is clearly a fault with this car in this mode. To have the car jerk so violently as to almost give you whiplash, not to mention you may crack your forehead on the steering wheel when it is happening - and be told to just accept it as part of the performance of the car - that is a complete joke from Mercedes. I am up for a fight with them on this
- I even believe the car should be recalled due to safety concerns. Happy for people's thoughts.
Cheers
