Thanks,

- Picked up new C63s July 2017
- Car has been back to dealer 50 miles from me but where i bought the car 5 times for fixing creaks and rattles.
- Drove car for 700 miles and reported problem of vibration coming from accelerator over 80mph, wheel balancing has been done by a very reputable company so no issues from that..
- Drove car to Europe covered 2500 miles with vibration from the accelerator and brake pedal, when i got back to England it went straight back to the dealer.
- Dealer told me that it was a buckled wheel and tyre - i dis agreed but bought wheel from Mercedes to and tyre elsewhere to try and solve the problem, before fitting the garage i used said wheel was ever so slightly buckled but was fine and tyre fine. They said it was the brakes biting after inspecting. Leave original wheel on the car.
- Car back to dealer again, MBUK now involved - The car has carbon ceramics - 4 weeks later and a lot of aggro, ceramic discs and pads replaced as one disc had had high points/ run out apparently causing vibration, nobody from Germany or Milton Keynes knew why but a cost of £5,000 to Mercedes.
- Car back to me, run in brakes for approx 300 miles, vibration still there but not as bad and now the steering wheel vibrates between 80-100mph above this speed it gets much worse, and the accelerator pulsates every so often.
- Re balance all wheels, and check Geometry , nothing wrong with it all in the green.
- Car currently is pulling considerably to the left, more than it should and feels very twitchy, checked tyre pressures are correct.
- Changed front left wheel to new alloy which they say was buckled and new tyre and re balance. Vibration still there.
- Mercedes coming up with a compensation figure, however i am not really interested in that for the moment i just want the car fixed, or them to take it back, the first report of it was done within 30 days however it has been ongoing so long i don't know what else it could be!!! I feel i have given them enough opportunities to fix the problem and long enough and at the moment it is really consuming my time and worse than that the car feels very sh*t to drive. Most of my driving is abroad and not having the confidence in a car which should be good to 155 mph is quite annoying... Not sure where to turn next. Could it be the caller or suspension related ?!
Thanks,
