Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG

At the end of a drive on XXX as i was pulling into the parking spot i smelled smoke in cabin. After parking and exiting the car i noticed smoke from left rear quarter panel above the wheel roughly. i opened the trunk and saw flames jut in wiring hole ahead of the trunk in rear left area. called the [XXX] and within a minute the acr was engulfed in flames and the whole back area and cabin burned down before the fire department turned off the fire. I beleive this might be related to safety…

MBUX system would not turn on. Warnings of Blind Spot in operatable, Parktronic not operatable. Was not able to access any features through MBUX. Climate Control, Operation of Covertable Top, Maps, all options run through MBUX.

Safety issues also around front lift without cameras access. The vehicle was inspected…

Had some issues with turn signals and a check engine light. My car is a 2013 SL63 AMG with 22700 miles. It sits in garage 95 percent of the time under cover.

When driven on the highway, speed drops abruptly down (65 mph to 40 mph) stuck on 4 or 3rd gear in this automatic 9 speed transmission and gear won't shift up causing engine rpm rise over 3000 & gas pedal won't have effect even it was pushed down to floor all the way. Almost rear ended in multiple occasion & it is extremely dangerous to change lane to get off to safety as car does not respond to throtle up or gas pedal to speed up. Dealer was not able to duplicate issue in two service visit…

Initially got a transmission malfunction warning and to turn car off. The cars battery keeps dying at only 1500 miles. Constantly needs to be on trickle charger. Recently the car died, charged battery. Car turned over for 3 seconds then stalled. Now car even with full battery with turn over but will not start whatsoever. Has to be towed. Multiple people ok forms reported this same issue.
