Owner report 11619675 · 2024-10-14 (October 14, 2024)
September 8th, 2024 @ approximately 3pm My Mercedes EQE 350+ accelerated to a high speed when the front tire touched a curb. The car ran over the curb and into the parking lot. I was able to steer the car but the brakes didn't work. The car kept going through a stop sign and into the intersection. Luckily there were no cars in the intersection and I finally thought to turn the car off. It then stopped. The whole rubber covering over the battery was destroyed from the rocks on the curb. The battery was severely damaged also. The car was at the …

Owner report 11701695 · 2025-11-26 (November 26, 2025)
My Mercedes-Benz EQE has an intermittent but dangerous brake failure. When braking lightly and then needing to brake harder, the brake pedal becomes soft and fades, sinking further with almost no increase in braking power. The vehicle continues moving forward even when pressing the pedal harder. I must quickly release the pedal and press it again to regain braking. This creates a serious risk of crashing, especially at low speeds or in traffic. The issue is happening more frequently. Mercedes-Benz of Encino told me “everything is good,” but th…

Owner report 11718164 · 2026-02-15 (February 15, 2026)
The vehicle experienced repeated electrical wiring harness damage in the lighting, tire and connector areas due to exposed and insufficiently protected wiring near socket terminations. On two separate service visits, authorized dealership technicians confirmed that rodents chewed through multiple exposed wires. The affected wiring involves critical electrical systems. The connectors lack adequate shielding, loom, or protective insulation at exposed termination points. The insulation ends before the connector, leaving conductors vulnerable to e…
