Mercedes GLS Hybrid rough engine and stalling issue

My 2023 Mercedes GLS Hybrid engine runs rough and stalls, especially when idling. The check engine light is on, and acceleration is jerky. Could a defective ignition coil be the problem?

I had a similar issue with my Mercedes GLS, including the check engine light and rough idling. The ignition coil is a likely suspect. It's worth investigating the ignition system thoroughly, as a defective coil can cause those symptoms.

Can you share more about your experience? Did you have jerking during acceleration? Was a cable or plug connection the definitive cause?

Yes, I had jerking during acceleration. A faulty connection can contribute, but a failing coil can also be the cause. I suggest having a workshop inspect your vehicle to pinpoint the source.

Following your advice, a workshop inspected my vehicle. It was a defective ignition coil, and the cable connection was also defective. The repair was 95€. The new ignition coil fixed everything. Thanks again!
