Example complaints
Electrical system: “The electric refrigerant compressor on my 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC SUV failed without warning. On this vehicle, the compressor is a dual-function safety-critical component: it provides cabin air conditioning and, more importantly, active cooling for the high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack. I am filing this complaint because a single-point failure in a component responsible for high-voltage battery cooling should not occur on a vehicle of this age and mileage, and because owners receive inadequate warning of the safety consequences when it does. …”
NHTSA complaint #11749465, filed 2026-07Brakes: “Phantom braking brings vehicle to a stop like it hand an accident. Driver experiences loud warning sounds with sudden engagement of emergency brakes. It is terrifying experience so car was brought to the dealership multiple times but the can’t not fix the issue since it can’t be reproduced”
NHTSA complaint #11771528, filed 2026-10Other or unknown: “There are several issue with the 2024 Mercedes EQS. I had the car have a full system failure and stop in the middle of the road with no warning. It could not even be towed. Apparently coolant was leaking without any warning. This caused a complete system failure- car wouldn't power on, couldn't be towed, couldn't be pushed to a safe location- nothing. The next most concerning issue is car automatically locks itself within seconds and with the key inside and with a passenger inside. My baby was trapped in the car. I came out of the driver seat and the key was in my purse. …”
