Safety & Technology

Common Problem

Battery and Start-Up Issues
One of the common problems reported with the 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC involves start-up issues, particularly if the car is not used for a few days. This issue may be related to the auxiliary battery, which works alongside the main battery to power various systems in the car. If the auxiliary battery is weak or failing, it might require multiple attempts to start the vehicle.
Electrical System Concerns
While specific to newer models, electrical issues have been a recurring theme in discussions about Mercedes vehicles post-2020. These issues often manifest as error messages related to various systems like ESP, restraint system, ride control, and more. Although these concerns are more prevalent in newer models, it's worth being vigilant about potential electrical problems in any recent Mercedes model.
Engine and Component Wear
For those considering older Mercedes models, such as the R107/SLC 450, there are known issues with engine heat affecting plastic components near the engine. This can lead to failures in parts like oil-delivery tubes and timing chain guides. While this is not directly applicable to the 2018 SLC, it highlights the importance of monitoring engine components and ensuring regular maintenance.
General Maintenance and Reliability
As with many luxury vehicles, regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and reliability of the Mercedes-Benz SLC. Owners should be prepared for potentially high maintenance costs and should consider investing in an extended warranty to cover unexpected repairs. It's also advisable to get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) from an independent mechanic to identify any underlying issues before buying.
Conclusion
Overall, while the 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC is generally well-regarded, prospective buyers should be aware of potential start-up and electrical issues. Regular maintenance and thorough inspections can help mitigate these risks and ensure a smoother ownership experience.
