2020 MERCEDES-BENZ Amg C43

Car stops accelerating and shifts into neutral without warning I nearly got hit from behind. I have consulted several other Mercedes vehicle owners and all had the same issue. Two of the other owners stated that this happened on the interstate and was very lucky they were not involved in a collision. Both vehicles were GLC 300. Mercedes does not seem to have an answer to the issue and all previous owners traded vehicles for fear of dying.

Uneven wear pattern.The wear often occurs on inner shoulder of the tires 5k to9k miles,which can be dangerous tire can wear down to belts on inside edge while the outer tread still looks fine. i have brought this to dealership multiple time with NO FIX but to sale me new tires and alignments.I have spoke to multiple owners of 2020 mercedes c63 and they have the same problem. This is a safety issue and has left my wife and kids on the side of freeway broken down.

On Tuesday, June 24th, 2025, the glass panel located between the windshield and sunroof on my 2020 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG unexpectedly detached and flew off while driving. This posed a serious safety risk to me and others on the road. There were no prior warning lights, messages, or symptoms before the failure occurred. This appears to have resulted from heat stress weakening the bonding that secures the panel to the vehicle—an issue consistent with NHTSA Recall 23V854000. That recall covers my exact year, make, and model, yet my specific VIN has not been included for reasons unknown, despite experiencing the exact same failure described in the recall notice. The issue was confirmed by Mercedes-Benz of Boston, where my vehicle is currently located. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. The dealer quoted me approximately $2,200 for repairs but declined to cover the cost under warranty since my VIN is not part of the active recall. I have opened a case with Mercedes-Benz Corporate to request full or partial reimbursement, and I am reporting this to NHTSA so that my VIN may be considered for inclusion in the recall.

I was driving on the highway, with no other cars near me and my panoramic sunroof exploded. It made a very loud gunshot like sound and I felt shards of glass fall on my head while driving. I had 2 other passengers In the car. One in the passenger set and one in the rear passenger side seat. They both had glass hit them in the face on head and go inside their clothes. I was extremely startled thinking that someone had shot at us or something and had to quickly take a highway exit to pull over and see what happened. Apparently this is a common thing with Mercedes as there is a class action lawsuit relating to this issue.

The car will randomly go into a neutral condition while driving the car. This occurs about once per month, sometimes more often. I will come to a stop for a light or stop sign, upon green light I release the brakes and then gas only to find the engine free revving and the car will not move. I must place the car in Park and then Drive again in order for it to move forward. I have brought this up with Mercedes multiple times and eventually had the transmission replaced. 2 days later, the same thing happened. They do not have a repair available and are dragging their feet to fix. There is a systemic defect in the 9G tiptronic transmission. There are other reports of this transmission going into a "neutral" condition. With the C43 being a relatively lower production class in the C class lineup, I suspect the issue has not made the attention that a higher production vehicle would. I have video with the car 'in gear' and not able to move. And video evidence of the of the transmission glitch.

This has happened a couple of times to me so far. I have been driving down the road (today it was the highway) and my car fell out of gear into neutral and would not go back into gear unless I restarted the car. Every time it has happened, I have had to coast it to a safe spot to restart the car to get it back into gear. Not having power and needing to coast it to safety is a risk to others because I have no control to get myself to safety in some situations. No dealer has been able to reproduce it because of how infrequently it happens. It has happened 3 or 4 times in the last 15k miles. There were no warning messages or indications that it happened or was going to happen and no parts have been inspected. It is really scary when it happens and I hope it dosen't happen to anyone else.

The contact owns a 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the tire pressure warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a tire center and was informed that the front passenger’s side rim cracked, causing the tire to deflate. The tire center repaired the original rim. The failure recurred with the rear driver’s and rear passenger’s side rims. The contact stated that the wheels were the original wheels on the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed after the most recent failure. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Car randomly goes into neutral despite being in D drive mode. Often at stop light, after the light turns green, the car revs up but is not in gear despite in 'D' drive. I have to shift to park or turn car off then on to get it to go again. This has happens multiple times since new. This is very random and distressing when it happens. Car has been evaluated multiple times at the dealership. There are no trouble codes thrown. The car otherwise works and has no other problem. The technician (off the record) told me there is a known issue when he contacted Germany. Official response to me is that it is perfectly fine.
