2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE recalls

Since January 2025, the front passenger occupant-classification system on my 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 intermittently fails to detect a properly seated adult occupant and instead displays "Passenger Airbag Disabled" on the instrument cluster. When this occurs, the system misclassifies an occupied seat as empty/child and deactivates the front passenger airbag — meaning the airbag would not deploy for that occupant in a crash. I have presented the vehicle to Mercedes-Benz of Chantilly five times for this defect: - Jan 8–14, 2025 (RO 268946, 4,459 mi) — technician performed a zero-setting recalibration of the N110 weight-classification module and a teach-in procedure; defect persisted - Feb 21

Experienced sudden, unforeseeable and uncontrolled runaway acceleration resulting in significant property damage and damage to the vehicle. Vehicle accelerated on its own uncontrollably up an inclined concrete driveway into and through the wall of a garage attached to a single-family detached dwelling unit. No bodily injuries were apparent.

The contact owns a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 75 MPH, the panoramic sunroof suddenly shattered without warning, producing a loud booming sound. The contact's husband pulled over and inspected the vehicle before driving back to the residence. There were no other vehicles or objects nearby to cause external impact. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where a repair estimate was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

Component/system that malfunctioned: The braking and acceleration system, including the collision assistance (driver-assistance/automatic braking) feature. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How safety was put at risk: The car lags when braking and at times accelerates unexpectedly. On one occasion, the collision assistance system—which is designed to brake—instead caused the vehicle to accelerate. The most dangerous incident occurred when the car accelerated on its own into an intersection, nearly causing a collision. Reproduced/confirmed by a dealer or service center: The vehicle was taken to the Mercedes-Benz dealer twice regarding this issue. On both visits, the dealer

I was driving and the sunroof spontaneously shattered. There was no rock damage.
