Recently, the car was completely immobilized for over 6 hours because the gear would not engage, making it dangerous and unpredictable to drive. Additionally, the vehicle has experienced multiple charging failures where charging repeatedly cuts off unexpectedly. A formal diagnosis from Mercedes-Benz of Cary confirmed a front axle drive unit failure and high-voltage insulation faults, triggering codes U041A00 and P154800. Crucially, the certified technician noted a grinding noise coming from the axle drive module, which occurs specifically when slowing down. These symptoms perfectly mirror the known manufacturing defects outlined in NHTSA Recall 24V331 for the 2022 EQB front axle drivetrain failure. Despite clear connections to documented, catastrophic high-voltage safety hazards, Mercedes-Benz USA has denied warranty coverage and is demanding an outrageous repair cost of over $14,000 from the owner.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"EQB 300 4MATIC","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11758466,"manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/09/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"08/21/2026","vin":"W1N9M0KB1NN","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"See Attached Letter For The Complaint","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"EQB 300 4MATIC","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11741759,"manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"02/06/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"06/03/2026","vin":"W1N9M0KB0NN","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"The contact owns a 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB 300.
