My vehicle is actively subject to NHTSA Campaign 26V073 for a severe high-voltage battery defect causing an immediate fire hazard while parked or operating. Because the manufacturer has no immediate remedy available, I filed an administrative buyback request due to the extreme danger of driving the car.   Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) has formally blocked my safety relief by deceptively citing irrelevant Florida Lemon Laws, despite the vehicle being legally purchased in Maryland and registered/operated continuously in Virginia.   Furthermore, MBUSA is actively attempting to obstruct the safety intent of this NHTSA recall by trying to bribe me with a $5,500 cash payment in exchange for signing a mandatory \"Waiver of Rights\" liability release. This release legally bars me from pursuing future recall remedies or lawsuits if the battery catches fire. MBUSA has explicitly stated in writing that if I refuse to sign this total liability waiver, they will offer zero further assistance, effectively forcing me to continue operating a known, catastrophic fire hazard on public roads.   I request that NHTSA\u2019s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) launch an immediate inquiry into MBUSA for utilizing deceptive out-of-state legal tactics and coercive monetary waivers to suppress safety claims and minimize their financial exposure to Campaign 26V073.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"EQB 350 4MATIC","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]}]}
