Mercedes-Benz EQE & EQS Lemon Law

Mercedes recalled EQE and EQS models over an electrical concern — a high-amperage fuse and power-distribution issue that can create a fire risk in the vehicle's high-voltage system. An electrical fire risk in a six-figure EV is a serious safety defect.

EQE and EQS owners also report blank or frozen instrument and infotainment displays, charging failures, reduced range, and software glitches that undermine the luxury-EV experience.

A recall isn't automatically a lemon. But a fire risk or a display that hides driving information is a serious safety defect, and if it can't be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, or your EQE/EQS is out of service for an extended time, California's Lemon Law may entitle you to a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement — with Mercedes-Benz paying your attorney fees.

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it's the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free repair. California's Lemon Law (the Song-Beverly Act) comes into play when a substantial defect can't be fixed after a reasonable number of attempts, or when your EQE & EQS has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative days.

If your Mercedes-Benz EQE & EQS qualifies, you may be entitled to a buyback (a refund of what you've paid, minus a mileage offset), a replacement vehicle, or a cash-and-keep settlement — and Mercedes-Benz pays your attorney fees on a successful claim, so pursuing your case costs you nothing out of pocket.
