Owner complaints6
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Owners of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE report several issues primarily related to the panoramic sunroof and unintended acceleration. Complaints frequently mention the sunroof shattering spontaneously while driving, with no external impact or debris, and glass falling into the vehicle, posing a significant safety hazard. Additionally, one report describes unintended acceleration leading to a crash, despite the vehicle recording no pressure on the accelerator and significant pressure on the brake pedal. These issues occur across varying conditions and mileage, with multiple instances of sunroof failure reported both on freeways and side streets. Used car buyers should be aware of these potential safety implications, as the sunroof issue is consistently denied warranty coverage by dealers.
Owners report issues with the electrical system of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE, notably involving exposed wiring that is susceptible to rodent damage, leading to repeated service visits. Complaints frequently mention dashboard warning lights and the need for dealer repairs due to insufficient protection of critical wiring. One owner describes a crash incident where the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated in reverse, resulting in damage and an injury. Another complaint highlights a persistent camera obstruction alert, with the dealer unable to identify or resolve the issue, occurring at very low mileage. These reports indicate potential safety risks, including unexpected vehicle behavior and possible malfunctions in safety-related systems.
Owners report issues with the Pirelli tires on the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE, specifically noting the formation of bubbles on the sidewalls and subsequent air leakage. Symptoms include tires going flat, with one incident occurring after hitting a 2-inch pothole. These issues have been observed within the first 40 days of ownership, with some owners experiencing up to five flat tires in this period. Complaints highlight safety concerns, such as a near-collision due to sudden tire deflation. Buyers should be aware of the potential for tire-related issues, especially concerning the vehicle's weight capacity on the 21-inch Pirelli tires.
