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.

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 can reach dangerous levels within minutes of AC loss, creating a life-threatening situation for car occupants. The car provides no prominent warning to the driver at the time of exit that this automatic shutoff will occur. There is no accessible, clearly labeled setting to disable this behavior. The only known workaround — pressing a small fan icon on the lower display screen before opening the door after powering off — is non-intuitive, undisclosed in routine car operation, and limited to approximately 30 minutes. This design is in stark contrast to competing electric cars (e.g., Tesla) which offer an explicit, clearly labeled "Keep Climate On" or "Dog Mode" feature that maintains cabin temperature indefinitely when occupants are present. In high-heat states such as Texas, where temperatures routinely exceed 100°F, an unexpected and unannounced climate system shutdown poses a serious and

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-collision warnings, and no automatic emergency braking activated at any time, despite the vehicle crossing curbs and approaching fixed objects. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle continued accelerating without driver input and struck and knocked down a fixed light pole. After the impact, the vehicle continued moving forward until I immediately slammed on the brake and brought it to a stop in the middle of the adjacent roadway. No orange cones or warning devices were present prior to the incident. Any cones visible in photos were placed after the collision by responders for safety and traffic control. The sudden acceleration and complete lack of safety-system response occurred during a low-speed parking maneuver where the vehicle should not have accelerated beyond idle speed.
