Mercedes-benz Amg cls53 problems
The C257 Mercedes-Benz CLS is the third generation of the CLS range of four-door sedan, and was launched in 2018 as the successor to the Mercedes-Benz CLS (C218). It is only available as a sedan, with no plans to introduce a Shooting Brake variant in the near future. It is based heavily on the E-Class (W213).
Development and launch
Information on the C257 CLS was released online on 29 November 2017, with a public unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2018.
The new CLS uses a four-link front suspension and a five-link rear suspension and comes in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive (4MATIC) configurations. CLS 53 4MATIC+ models utilise variable all-wheel drive, allowing for torque distribution between the front and rear axles. An electric motor is used to boost power output by 16 kW (21 hp) and 249 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft), and also powers the on-board 48-volt system.
The CLS is also now a five-seater car, instead of being a four-seater as with the previous two generations.

Common Mercedes-benz Amg cls53 problems
Mercedes-Benz AMG CLS53 owners have reported several common problems, ranging from engine issues to interior and drivetrain concerns.
- Interior Concerns: Some owners have reported issues with the interior of the AMG CLS53. For instance, the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a common complaint.
- Drivetrain Issues: The drivetrain of the AMG CLS53 has also been a source of frustration for some owners. The car features a permanent all-wheel-drive system, which does not allow for a full rear-wheel-drive effect. While power can be shuffled from wheel-to-wheel, the system can feel unresponsive at times, especially during dry road conditions.
- Ride Quality: The ride quality of the AMG CLS53 has been criticized for being brittle and choppier than expected in a luxury sport sedan. The car's structure does not feel as solid as the E-class's chassis, with even small bumps being felt and heard throughout the interior.

These issues, combined with the car's high maintenance and repair costs, can make owning a Mercedes-Benz AMG CLS53 a challenging experience for some owners.
