In December 2024, I brought my 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB to Mercedes-Benz Beverly Hills for scheduled service. They told me the vehicle had a recall and booked me for a future appointment, but I was unable to attend because I was out of town. I called the dealer multiple times afterwards to reschedule, but they never told me the reason for the recall or explained the safety risk.

The rear windshield shattered spontaneously without any external impact while the vehicle was parked. Mercedes-Benz USA advised bringing the vehicle to the dealership for evaluation of a possible manufacturing defect, but the dealer replaced the glass and charged for repair. This raises a concern for potential safety defect or glass stress failure in EQB models.
On October 8, 2025 the sunroof exploded from within while driving. There was no external force involved. It sounded like a gunshot going off in the car. My wife and I looked at each other expecting to see blood, but fortunately, there was none. We were both quite shook up. Upon inspection the remaining shards of glass were pointed upward, although that is difficult to see from the pictures. Fortunately, the shade was closed so the glass shards did not fall on me or my wife. No other debri
Mercedes performed a recall and stated the charging would increase only by 10-15 minutes. For my vehicle it is now exceeding 30-45 minutes to get to the same state of charge at a fast charger such as electrify America. Mercedes refuses to do anything about this, instead they want me to drive around with a defective battery which still has a potential to catch on fire.

When driving above 40 mph, I have experienced seemingly random brakes, which most likely is due to the automatic emergency braking system. I have seen it work properly when a car cuts me off in traffic, which it makes sense then. But in several instances, it's pumped the brakes when there is no obstacle or car around. It's quite scary since you might get hit from behind. One time it braked so suddenly I was jolted forward in my seat. It also has an issue with parking sensors going off a

The EQB is advertised by Mercedes of having a range of 232 to 260 miles. The actual range currently is 145 miles, far less than what Mercedes advertises. I understand winter charging decrease range but not by 38 percent. Thatâs not acceptable. There are 4 EVâs at my dealer today all complaining about lack of advertised range. My car has been into service three times over the last month and will be going back in soon forms fourth time. The first two times, the dealer updated EV software

Mileage: 5,000
Since new in April 2023, I have had 6 flat tires in less than 12,000 miles. Always the same failure mode: tearing by rock chips. I have been advised by the Mercedes dealer that at my own expense, I can replace the tires. The tire dealer noted that the low profile wheel/tire combination as this vehicle has as standard equipment, is subject to rock tears. This is an SUV and there is no advice to avoid gravel roads such as my own driveway. This vehicle is unreliable. I have had the same driveway si
