As the result, the hand tended to hit the edge of protruded sunroof center console, resulting in repeated laceration to the hand. Three incidents had occurred over the three months I owned the vehicle so far.

Severe, life-threatening autonomous safety system and powertrain failures in a 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.

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…

ALL TIRES MENTIONED HERE ARE PIRELLI ZERO RUN FLAT TIRES (MBQ-8-40-3071, PIRELLI 255/35R21) My Mercedes EQE equipped with 21â AMG wheels has suffered six blowouts using Pirelli ride fat 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. EQE, EQS, and S Class owners have reported the same problem in online forums over the last several years, specifically with 21â AMG wheels and ride Yat 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…
