What owners report
The vehicle was driving and suddenly lost power, and started driving very slowly, almost causing an accident on the road. I checked for recalls and other vehicles like mine with the same years that have a recall about this issue, where a high-voltage battery shuts down, also, the back seat buckle does not work to buckle my kids
I own a 2022 Mercedes EQS 580 electric vehicle which has a high voltage battery for propulsion. On [XXX], in Seoul, Korea, a Mercedes EQE with a high voltage battery made by Farasis Energy spontaneously burst into flames while parked in a garage and not on a charger. The fire totaled the vehicle and caused millions of dollars in property loss. My online research tells me that the high voltage battery in my Mercedes EQS 580 was made by either Farasis Energy or by CATL. I park my vehicle in a garage at home. Were my vehicle to spontaneously burst into flames due to a Farasis Energy battery, my family could die and we would have considerable property damage. Although I have repeatedly ask
The incident occurred because the driver's Benz's detection sensor encountered a bug, leading to potential harm to the car occupants. I discovered this bug myself, yet Mercedes-Benz has not compensated me for the issue. I am currently pursuing resolution for this situation.
Driving on residential street at 25 miles an hour with no traffic. Car applied emergency brakes which threw everyone forward. Fortunately no other cars behind me. Very dangerous. This has also happened on the main road at 45 miles an hour,
I was traveling at 10 mph on a two lane road in clear conditions at 4 p.m. A single car was parked legally ahead on the right and there was a single safety cone present, off the road (on the shoulder) and further ahead on the left. The road was perfectly clear for driving. Without any warning, visual or sound, the autonomous emergency braking system fully engaged and brought the car to a dead stop. The driver information system reported nothing. There was no car behind and no collision occurred. It has left a concern that the autonomous breaking system could be triggered erroneously in the future.
