What owners report
My 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB250 (VIN: [XXX]) is currently sidelined at Mercedes-Benz of Pompano with a dangerous High-Voltage system failure that causes an immediate cascade error of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and vehicle braking systems. The technician verified the codes match Mercedes Service Bulletin LI42.45-P-079407 for an HV DC/DC Converter defect and matched my serial number to the bad batch. The vehicle simultaneously carries an active Federal Safety Recall for an internal High-Voltage Battery Pack explosion/fire risk (NHTSA Campaign 26V073). Mercedes-Benz USA Corporate (Case #[XXX]) and Service Director Hayden Smith are actively refusing to honor the 8-year/100,000-mile High
The rear liftgate glass (backlite) of the vehicle shattered spontaneously while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied inside a closed parking garage on 09/30/2026. There was no break-in, no impact, no vandalism, and no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure. The entire tempered-glass pane crazed and partially collapsed with no visible point of impact, consistent with spontaneous tempered-glass failure caused by a nickel sulfide inclusion, a documented glass manufacturing defect. The failed glass is being replaced through the owner's insurance by Safelite AutoGlass. The selling dealer, Mercedes of Seattle, declined to inspect the vehicle and stated they had never hear

BATTER RECALL FIRE SAFETY: I have a 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ affected by NHTSA safety recall 26V073. Mercedes has acknowledged that the high-voltage battery can fail internally and cause a fire. Iâm instructed to charge only to 80% and park outside away from structures, and Mercedesâ latest remedy requires replacement of the entire high-voltage battery. This is already a low range vehicle and limiting to max 140 miles on interstate before having to charge 45 minutes is a nightmare. I need to drive between states for work and this is just simply not feasible after doing so for months without a solution. The first recall was March 2025 with no fix.
The battery in this car can catch fire at any time while parked. The dealership would not take the car to inspect, repair or replace the battery because there is no remedy available at this time. The recall information go back to January 2026 with no remedy or resolution available period. Instructions say I can charge it only up to 80%. I have to make adjustments to my daily routine. Instructions say I have to park it away from buildings. This car is a serious safety hazard for humans and buildings.
