Safety & Technology

Common Problem

Starting Issues
One of the issues reported by owners of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC is difficulty starting the car after it has been idle for a few days. This problem could be attributed to a faulty auxiliary battery, as Mercedes vehicles typically have both a main and an auxiliary battery. The main battery might compensate after several attempts if the auxiliary battery fails initially.
Oil Migration into Engine Wire Harness
A significant issue noted in similar models, such as the CLS AMG, involves oil migrating into the engine wire harness from camshaft hall sensors. This can lead to expensive repairs, affecting components like fuel injectors and the M.E. (Motor Electronics). Repairing this issue can cost around $4,000 for the harness and requires extensive labor.
Electronic and Sensor Failures
Mercedes vehicles are known for their advanced technology, but this can also be a source of problems. Owners have reported issues with electronic components and sensors, often related to age and wear. These problems can manifest in various ways, including malfunctioning air suspension systems.
General Quality Control Concerns
There are broader concerns about quality control with newer Mercedes models. Some users have experienced parts with inconsistent quality, leading to frequent warranty returns. This issue may stem from supply chain disruptions or other manufacturing challenges during recent years.
Depreciation and Maintenance Costs
Like many luxury vehicles, Mercedes cars, including the AMG SLC, experience significant depreciation within the first five years. Additionally, maintenance and repair costs can be high, with brake replacements costing around $5,000 for both front and rear brakes. It's important for potential buyers to consider these factors when purchasing a used model.

R172 introduced modern tech and a 3.5L V6, later renamed SLC in 2016. Key updates included a 2.0T/3.0T engine lineup and 9G-TRONIC transmission, though its aging platform drew criticism.
