What do 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT owners report?
5 of the 5 complaints, the most recent for the most-reported components, as the owners wrote them. NHTSA removes names and VINs; long reports are trimmed. CarHooq has not verified individual claims.
The contact owns a 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT53. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning illuminated. Additionally, while depressing the accelerator pedal, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V533000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The dealer was contacted and diagnosed the vehicle with an electrical system failure associated with the recall, but the repair was not covered because the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer…
The recently completed recall on this vehicle back in 2021 last year for the wheel hub caps. Approximately two days ago, I drove it off the dealership and after I got home I noticed the wheel hub cap was missing from my passenger side. This is a known hazard and hasn't been remedied correctly from the last recall service it had and I'm sure it fell off again. Would I be able to get this replaced for free? Because the dealership told me it wouldn't be covered under warranty and they're asking me to fork over $120 for a plastic hub cap.
1)The side cover on the driver’s seat covering the seatbelt harness area detaches from the seat. The defect has been shown to the Mercedes dealer, Autohaus on Eden of Northbrook, IL several times. The dealer refuses to fix it. 2) The wheel hubcaps fly off during a normal drive of 30 mph risking injuries to other vehicles. The recall has been issued by NHTSA, but the same dealer refuses to acknowledge and fix it.
