2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB problems & recalls

Jun 23, 2026Electrical system, Engine

Learning that my vehicle is subject to a battery-related recall has seriously undermined my trust. Battery defects in electric vehicles can present risks that include thermal events, loss of vehicle functionality, and other potentially dangerous situations. My vehicle has had warning signs, I received emails about the risks my vehicle can present directly from Mercedes. I have had my vehicle in the service department two times in two months for this same issue. My vehicle is overheating while charging.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious safety issue involving my vehicle. For an extended period of time, this vehicle has experienced recurring starting failures. On multiple occasions, the vehicle would not start, requiring service visits to the dealership. Despite repeated repair attempts, the dealership was unable to identify the root cause of the problem and typically performed only software updates. I was repeatedly informed that no specific defect could be found.Recently, the issue escalated into a much more dangerous event. While driving, the engine suddenly shut down witho…

Electrical System/Climate Control/Energy Management DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM: On XXX, I exited my 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ at a parking lot in [XXX] to briefly enter a business. I left the vehicle running in Park and I took the key fob with me and left the climate control (AC) active. Three occupants remained inside the car: my wife, son, and dog. Without any warning, alert, or notification to the remaining occupants, the car automatically shut down its drivetrain and climate control system after approximately 5 to 10 minutes of idle time. The interior temperature in TX in summer conditions…

My vehicle is not included in the current high voltage battery recall under NHTSA recall 26V073, as it has a manufacture date of 08/2024 per door jamb sticker, however, page 5 of the NHTSA report explicitly states “A change in the production procedure of our supplier ensures that this issue can no longer occur on vehicles produced from July 31, 2024 onwards.” This leaves car production between May and July 31 (and likely beyond!) unaccounted for in the recall. My car was built in August 2024, likely with a battery manufactured prior to July 31, 2024 with the defect. I believe my car should b…

My vehicle is a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB 300. Despite the nationwide recall (NHTSA 26V073000) for high-voltage battery fire risk, the manufacturer is providing conflicting and dangerous safety information. I was verbally instructed by dealership representatives to park my vehicle outdoors and limit charging to 80% to avoid a fire hazard. However, when I requested written confirmation of these safety restrictions from MBUSA Corporate Retention (Case Manager: [XXX] ), my request was ignored The manufacturer refuses to put in writing that my vehicle is safe to park in my attached garage or charge…

Feb 23, 2026Electrical system⚠ Crash

At the time of the incident, I was pulling into a parking space in a parking lot near a park. 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, no beeping, no proximity alerts, no forward-collisi…

Although I have not experienced safety issues myself, this exact model+year combination has been recalled more than once: 2024 Mercedes EQB 300 4matic, and when I searched by my VIN it shows recall. I’m very concerned if my car is mistakenly not included - what if it has battery issue/fire risk but I am not aware? This poses huge safety risk on day to day driving. I request an investigation on this particular VIN and reasons of why it is not in the recall list despite all infos match.
