German Website Login and Emails

I own a 2022 EQS AMG and its so frustrating that I randomly get email communications in German and also some websites login are in German until I am logged in. I have owned multiple other German manufacture vehicles and none of those other companies ever get the language information so screwed up. I love my care but absolutely hate the customer experience of Mercedes Benz. I have contacted customer support and they have tried to help but unfortumately the issue still continues. Anyone else in the US are seeing these issues?

Can you redact your personal information and show us an example of the email?

it-s basically the e-mail notification about Mercedes me subscription expiring and after I logged in to check the status of my subscription I renewed it and received confirmation in German.

Is it only in German for the confirmation emails?

Interesting, so it collected your location data and for some reason defaulted to German? Sorry to hear contacting customer support to no avail though.

I had this issue with one of our EQ cars. I can't recall how I resolved it, but you are not entirely alone.

Yes I think the password verification prompts leads you to some emails or sites that are written in German. Most browsers can easily translate but it is odd.

I was recently logged out of the Mercedes Me app and needed a 6-digit code sent via email to log back in. However, the email was in German, which seems unusual for a North American user like me. This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered German text in the app or on the Mercedes Me website when trying to log in.

While I was ultimately able to figure it out and log in, it was definitely an unnecessary hassle. You'd think Mercedes would recognize my location and provide a region-appropriate user experience.
