On [XXX] an alert pop up on dash board saying to stop the car. I was driving I [XXX]. When stopped car showed an alert to Tow the car to dealer because a malfunction in the system. Called tow company and went to the dealer. They told me that day that the magnet part that regenerates when brake was broken. After 15 days I called back for an updated then they told me a software update is necessary and will be released on May 2024. On [XXX] dealership contacted me and gave me my car back with no repair or software update installed. There are reports that this car model stops when an error occurs, if they don't fix the software could be an accident. Being software means that could affect at least all the car in this model EQE 350 SUV, or even all the EV form this manufacturer INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving almost 60 mph, car shuddered and went to 20 mph then 10 mph in seconds. Drove on the shoulder, only 650 miles since I leased the car. Second time has happened in four weeks.

THIS IS A SUDDEN ACCELATION INCIDENT in reverse with a brake incident. On January 11, 2024 shortly after 12:00 p.m., I was leaving my home and reversing out of my garage. As the tail of the car went slightly beyond the garage door, it stopped abruptly as if detecting something in the path of the car behind it. As I was looking at the rear camera to see why it stopped and what was in the path and contemplating whether I should get out and go see in person (as I did not clearly see anything in the rear camera) the car started moving again at what felt like a high-speed, backwards as I was still in reverse. I tried to brake but the brakes did not work. So, I started turning so as not to go directly into the home of the neighbor across the street. I turned sharply enough that the car went diagonally into my next-door neighbor's yard to the left of our home. The car continued to move in reverse and I kept steering to avoid the car hitting my neighbor's home. The car hit and knocked over the neighbor's in-ground basketball on the opposite side of the driveway. I believe the car slowed a bit after that impact but kept going in reverse heading back into the street in front of my home. Still steering and hitting the brakes, I remember the car spinning in the street and then had somewhat of an elliptical pattern and was headed back across the yard to my same neighbors home but hit the parkway tree in front of my home and stopped with that impact. Believe electrical failure. Brakes didn't work. Airbag did not deploy. Many sudden acceleration cases end in injury and death. Thankful no children out since middle of day. MBUSA (only) is investigating. Attempted independent review but told that unable because of proprietary software. 5 weeks in and no response to investigation status.

***THIS IS NOT MY CAR*** My car was in for service at the dealer. The dealer provided this EQE350 as a loaner. The loaner was electric, which exploded in our garage and burned the house down. The dwelling is 100% loss and 90% of contents were lost. We have pictures and videos from ring doorbells showing the combustion, and you can hear the thermal runaway. Please help us.

This vehicle is extremely unsafe to drive and will cause an accident. I am constantly having to fight the steering as the car constantly fights the direction I wish to turn or maneuver. In addition several times I tried to break to slow the vehicle and the brakes did not allow me to engage them. I have been driving since 1980s. If something is not done to get this vehicle off the road quickly someone will get hurt.
