Technology & Safety
Common Problem
Oil Migration and Engine Harness Issues
One of the significant issues reported with AMG models, including the AMG GT, is oil migration into the engine wire harness from components like camshaft hall sensors. This can lead to expensive repairs involving items such as fuel injectors and the main engine control unit (M.E.). The repair for this issue can be quite costly, with the harness alone costing around $4,000 and labor taking up to 28 hours.
Electrical and Sensor Problems
Owners have frequently reported electrical issues with various AMG models, which include problems with blind spot assist, traction control, and other electronic modules. These issues often result in the car spending significant time in service. Additionally, some owners have experienced problems with the exhaust system, particularly with performance exhaust flaps getting stuck, affecting the car's power output.
Exhaust and Power Throttle Issues
There have been reports of the AMG GT experiencing power throttling issues, especially when driving at high speeds or using sport modes. This problem sometimes resolves itself after restarting the vehicle but can reappear sporadically. Exhaust system issues, such as sticking valves, have been noted as a typical problem that might require software updates or mechanical adjustments.
General Reliability Concerns
Despite being praised for their performance, AMG cars are known to have reliability concerns. Some users have expressed frustration over recurring issues not being resolved even under warranty. Furthermore, there are complaints about the susceptibility of electronics to damage from minor incidents, such as water splashing on the electronics near the shifter.
Maintenance and Cost Considerations
AMG vehicles, including the AMG GT, are expensive to maintain, with high costs associated with parts replacement and labor. For instance, replacing brakes can cost around $5,000. Owners also mention the importance of considering additional expenses like winter tires if living in colder climates.
