2023 Mercedes Benz GLC 300 4matic
car battery failures in 2004-2022 models across the Mercedes-Benz vehicle line
I own a mercedes 2023 glc300 4matic which is not listed but I am having the same issues. Apparently the lawsuit was filed before my vehicle was made and the issue had not been resolved in the 2023 glc models.
I have a no start on my vehicle 3 times since new. Under 9k miles. Today they say that they don't find anything wrong with the vehicle. The say i don't drive it enough for the battery to charge. The suggested i place the car on a trickle or maintenance charger.
very disappointed
Statement from lawsuit:

All three of my cars do less than 9000 miles per year, and the SL gets parked for 4 months in winter, outdoors under a car cover; no battery issues on any of them*. Contrast that to the many cars I drove in the 30 or so years before I switched to Mercedes, when I replaced so many batteries (and alternators) I couldn't possibly count.
*I have had to replace two "secondary" batteries: in the W205 it's actually a capacitor and was covered under warranty, even at over 4 years old, while on the R231 it's an actual battery so it was not covered by the then-valid warranty; cost under $300.

2024 Mercedes GLE63s
48V battery failure
My new 2024 Mercedes GLE63s (7 months old, 4500 miles) barely made it back home this morning. I was on the highway about an hour from home when a message popped up in red saying 48V battery malfunction. It got worse from there as everything started falling and I then got a “STOP VEHICLE” message. I was able to limp home and a flatbed is coming to pick this up. Have any of you had similar problems with a 2024?
