Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 1 fire, 6 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 1 active recall campaign, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 15 investigation files overlapping the 2022 EQS 580. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

20240823FireELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I own a 2022 Mercedes EQS 580 electric vehicle which has a high voltage battery for propulsion. On [XXX], in Seoul, Korea, a Mercedes EQE with a high voltage battery made by Farasis Energy spontaneously burst into flames while parked in a garage and not on a charger. The fire totaled the vehicle and caused millions of dollars in property loss. My online research tells me that the high voltage battery in my Mercedes EQS 580 was made by either Farasis Energy or by CATL. I park my vehicle in a garage at home. Were my vehicle to spontaneously burst into flames due to a Farasis Energy battery, my family could die and we would have considerable property damage. Although I have repeatedly asked Mercedes to tell me whether the high voltage battery in my vehicle was made by Farasis Energy or by CATL, it has refused to provide the information. I have no way to obtain the information otherwise and am extremely worried that my family and I are at risk because I have a Farasis Energy battery

The incident occurred because the driver's Benz's detection sensor encountered a bug, leading to potential harm to the car occupants. I discovered this bug myself, yet Mercedes-Benz has not compensated me for the issue. I am currently pursuing resolution for this situation.

20230724FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Driving on residential street at 25 miles an hour with no traffic. Car applied emergency brakes which threw everyone forward. Fortunately no other cars behind me. Very dangerous. This has also happened on the main road at 45 miles an hour,
20230214FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was traveling at 10 mph on a two lane road in clear conditions at 4 p.m. A single car was parked legally ahead on the right and there was a single safety cone present, off the road (on the shoulder) and further ahead on the left. The road was perfectly clear for driving. Without any warning, visual or sound, the autonomous emergency braking system fully engaged and brought the car to a dead stop. The driver information system reported nothing. There was no car behind and no collision occurred. It has left a concern that the autonomous breaking system could be triggered erroneously in the future.
