Owner report 11662245 · 2025-05-21 (May 21, 2025)
On February 3, 2025, a recall (NHTSA Recall No. 25V050 / Manufacturer Recall No. 2025040005) was issued for my 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ due to a defect involving the high-voltage battery that may cause a fire.

I ran out of battery and had to be towed to another charging station…

I was traveling at approximately 3–5 miles per hour, consistent with idle or walking speed during a routine parking maneuver. I was nearly stopped and aligned with the parking space when the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated without driver input. This occurred from a near-idle speed in a parking lot, not during roadway driving. During the unintended acceleration, the vehicle traveled over multiple curbs on both sides. No audible warnings, n…
