2023 MERCEDES-BENZ Eqe 350

On several occasions the vehicle aggressively stopped and jerked as if someone hit my car from behind. I took it to the dealership and they thought it was a software malfunction issue, since there were recalls on the vehicle. I received my car back from the dealership and in a week of receiving my car, the issue happened twice. This has been extremely scary especially because on two occasions a car almost hit me in the back and both times my son was in the car. The car has done this where there were not any cars around and the car falsely believes there is a car around a collision will occur. Today , the car did it twice. The first was while I was taking my son to school going slowly. The second time this happened was while I was stopped at a red light. The dashboard then had a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside. Every time the car stops it caused my neck and back to hurt and I am afraid a car will actually hit me from behind.

On Mon, [XXX], my father was involved in a single car accident in the family's Mercedes-Bens EQE 350 (all electric) vehicle. When he was in driveway, he claims he was on the brake when the car suddenly accelerated on its own. It destroyed the garage door and then went through the garage destroying property, the attic staircase, and the frame of an interior wall into a bedroom. We have pictures of the damage. Emergency repairs were required to stabilize the frame of the house with more 2x4s. The insurance company says he likely confused the brake and gas pedals, but he's convinced that he was on the brake when it suddenly accelerated on its own. Importantly, no auto-emergency braking occurred, no airbag deployed, and no other emergency systems engaged. We received no indication that the system reported an accident. I was able to source an online forum where individuals recounted identical fact patterns about being on the brake and the Mercedes EQ vehicle accelerating dangerously on its own. We believe that the issue was a electrical computer malfunction and yes, the car is available for inspection. It is currently being repaired at a collision shop in Edison, NJ. I have sent a general service request to Mercedes Benz to encourage an inspection from them. The problem has not yet been sourced or reproduced and no warning lamps or messages appeared prior, during, or after the accident. Here's the MB electric vehicle community message board describing similar accounts [XXX] I am messaging to initiate a safety report about this vehicle since this issue could potentially cause a fatality if not properly addressed.
