Severe, life-threatening autonomous safety system and powertrain failures in a 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. The vehicle exhibits sudden, violent unintended acceleration, unprovoked emergency braking, and steering lockups. On multiple occasions, including at 75 MPH on the freeway and 45 MPH on city streets, the vehicle abruptly applies maximum braking force down to a near-stop without driver input or any road obstruction, nearly causing multiple catastrophic rear-end collisions with semi-trucks and buses. Conversely, the vehicle experiences sudden unintended acceleration; during one severe city street incident, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated from 40 MPH to 60 MPH while the driver was actively braking, causing the brake pedal to feel completely locked, stiff, and unresponsive for several seconds before stopping. While stopped at red lights, the vehicle violently surges and rocks forward/backward as if wanting to accelerate without driver input. The steering assistance system abruptly locks up or pulls hard to the right without warning, requiring the driver to physically wrestle control to maintain lane alignment. The braking system suffers from severe malfunctions, including the pedal randomly repositioning itself lower while driving and dropping completely to the floor during parking, causing the vehicle to roll until pumped. The electronic parking brake intermittently fails to release when shifting into drive/reverse. Additional systemic electrical and safety defects inc

1. March 11th: First Incident was when crossing a railroad crossing in [XXX] ~2:00pm the car suddenly braked and seatbelts tightened very strongly and immediately stopped, Automatic braking was engaged. There was a car Behind me and barely was able to brake and avoid rear ending me. We took it to dealer in Fremont (mb of fremont) a service advisor checked the car and drove it for a while (Joe Defraeitas) they were not able to find any issue and sent us back. asking us to bring it back if it happens again. my speed was between 30-40mph. I don't remember if there was lights flashing warning or not. all I remember it suddenly halted and stopped and I was really scrared. 2. March 17th at a very close time to ~2:00PM at exactly same place this issue happened again, this time I was with my daughter [XXX] ) and same exact thing happened; luckily no cars were behind me at that time again, same as before speed 30-40mph and no warning lights that I remember. this time we took the car to service dealership on March 20th and they asked us to schedule an appoint and we did bring it back on march 26th. The RO# from mboffremont is XXX; again same advisor. they claimed they checked all the software and sensors and nothing wrong with the car. 3.

While driving down the highway late at night, with no other cars around, the panoramic sunroof exploded, throwing shattered glass everywhere. The window was not hit by an object and had no previous damage. Shattered flying glass while moving at highway speeds caused a momentary loss of control.

My Mercedes EQE equipped with 21” AMG wheels has suffered six blowouts using Pirelli ride flat tires that came with the car. It seems the car is too heavy for this tire/wheel configuration, which is a standard option and was installed on the car when I leased it. Various EQE, EQS, and S Class owners have reported the same problem in online forums over the last several years, specifically with 21” AMG wheels and ride flat tires. All cases of this happening presented immediate risks, fortunately no crash occurred. Four incidents damaged one front tire, one incident damaged a front and rear tire. Mercedes should recall vehicles with this wheel and tire combination. The car has just 22,000 miles, bringing the mean time between failure for six tires to just 3,667 miles — well below the norm. I have owned many cars and typically average about 75,000 or more miles per tire, and never have catastrophic blowouts. The blowouts seem to occur because the Pirelli ride-flat tires have exceptionally stiff sidewalls that appear to fail under lateral impact resulting from even the most minor road imperfections. The car’s forward camber, low center of gravity, and heaviness exacerbate the problem. Two blowouts occurred while transiting over standard slightly recessed steel manhole covers traversed by thousands of vehicles daily. I have driven other Mercedes loaner vehicles with no incident. The problem appeared within a week of vehicle lease (May 2023) and I lost three tires in October 2025, w
