My 2023 Mercedes Has Severe Transmission Vibrations

I am absolutely outraged with Mercedes-Benz and their authorized service centers! My 2023 Mercedes-Benz, still under warranty, is experiencing severe vibration and shaking in first and second gears. This is a brand-new car, and it's practically undrivable.

I first went to Gülsoy Otomotiv in Florya, Istanbul. They diagnosed a software issue, updated it, and the problem actually got worse! Then, I was directed to Has Otomotiv in Avcılar, Istanbul, another Mercedes authorized service center. Here, they found a fault with the clutch pressure plate and flywheel. They supposedly "cleaned" the flywheel, but after that "repair," the car started shaking so violently in first gear that it could barely stay still, and all the vibration was transferred straight to the clutch. It was significantly worse than before.

I suggested to the service center that this was clearly a factory defect and that new parts should be installed. However, they flat-out refused, claiming it wasn't covered under warranty. My car is now practically inoperable, which clearly indicates a technical fault that should be covered by warranty. Despite two repair attempts, my vehicle has been further damaged. The technicians actually sanded down my clutch pressure plate and scratched its interior, then sprayed it with brake cleaner, causing even more damage! I warned them not to, but they ignored me, insisting they knew best and would replace it if there were problems. Now, they're denying everything.

They've caused direct damage to my car, and I am suffering both financially and emotionally. Mercedes-Benz, I demand that you fix my car immediately and compensate me for all damages! This level of incompetence and disregard for a customer's vehicle is unacceptable for a luxury brand.

"Update: I Still Haven’t Received a Positive Response to My Complaint Although I have contacted Mercedes-Benz Gelecek Otomotiv Diyarbakır Authorized Service and the relevant authorities regarding the issue of the headlight replacement, which was previously approved under warranty but later rejected (the details of which I shared in my initial complaint on 07.04.2025), I still have not received a satisfactory, solution-oriented response. Despite the time that has passed, I have only been offered a discount. However, there has been no official, written explanation as to why a process previously accepted under warranty was later made chargeable. I would like to reiterate that I reserve my legal rights under Consumer Rights, that my grievance continues, and that I expect the Mercedes-Benz brand to address the process seriously and provide a solution. If the issue is not resolved; - I would like to state that I will initiate application processes with the Consumer Arbitration Committee, - Mercedes-Benz Turkey Headquarters, - And, if necessary, with the relevant legal authorities. I would like to point out that one of the main reasons for being a Mercedes-Benz customer is my trust in the premium quality service of the brand and my belief that I would not be subjected to such grievances. However, the reluctance to resolve this issue is turning the premium perception into disappointment. I expect a global brand like Mercedes-Benz, which values customer satisfaction, to address this situation urgently with an understanding that prioritizes customer satisfaction."
