Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG Problems

Brakes
  • Soft braking compounds that contribute to good braking performance are known to wear after approximately 20,000 miles; owners should be vigilant about getting their brakes checked.
  • Brake fluid should be flushed every two years to prevent premature anti-lock brake system (ABS) failure.
Suspension & Steering A problem with the ball joints can cause a creaking noise. There is an updated part to remedy this problem.
Drive Train
  • A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.
  • The 7-speed automatic transmissions can have problems with internal component failure that cause rough shifting going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Mercedes released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled.
