2023 Mercedes-Benz Eqb 300 4Matic complaints

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 since 2006 with no history of flat tires.

Within one week of car purchase, the car is alerting that the SRS system is not working and it needs to be taken to a dealership. Dealership doesn't have am timeline on when they will be able to fix it.

We were driving along a 4 lane state road and the car suddenly applied the brakes hard and swerved to the right. A light blinked on the dash with a picture of the car and a red line on the right hand side. No cars were in the next lane over and there were no issues with the roadway. I was driving straight in the line and not near the left hand side of the Lane.

There is a reflective chrome accent on the dashboard of the EQB 300 that reflects sunlight directly into the drivers eyes when the car is oriented in certain directions at certain times of day. The light is blinding and impacts the ability of the driver to see the road and respond appropriately. I notified the dealership and Mercedes customer service, and they said there was nothing that they could do and that this was a buyer beware type situation.
