On the 2023-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Electric, several EQE SUV owners report that OTA software updates have rendered vehicle systems non-functional, requiring a flatbed tow to a dealer for recovery. The bricked state prevents the car from entering ready mode, with the dashboard displaying only error messages.

This issue also affects: Mercedes-Benz EQE, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Mercedes-Benz EQB

Common Symptoms

  • Vehicle will not enter ready-to-drive mode after update
  • Dashboard shows only error messages
  • No response to start button
  • MBUX completely non-functional

How to Fix

If the vehicle becomes unresponsive after an OTA update, do not attempt to force restart repeatedly. Contact Mercedes roadside assistance for a flatbed tow to a dealer. The dealer will reflash all control modules using XENTRY. Mercedes recommends initiating updates only when parked at home on Wi-Fi with a full charge.

Owner tips & cautions

  • WarningDo not install OTA updates immediately after release. Wait 1-2 weeks and check forums for reports from early adopters. Always update on a full charge, parked at home with strong Wi-Fi.

On the 2023-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV Electric, the EQE SUV with AIRMATIC air suspension generates intermittent fault warnings, causing the system to default to a fixed ride height. The issue is primarily a sensor calibration problem in the ride height sensors, which can be triggered by temperature swings or after driving through deep water.

This issue also affects: Mercedes-Benz GLE, Mercedes-Benz EQE, Mercedes-Benz EQS

Common Symptoms

  • Air suspension fault warning on dashboard
  • Vehicle stuck at one ride height
  • Unable to change ride height modes
  • Uneven ride height side to side

How to Fix

A dealer visit is required to recalibrate the ride height sensors using XENTRY. In most cases the sensors themselves are functional and only need recalibration. If faults persist, the ride height sensor at the affected corner should be replaced. Check for water intrusion in sensor connectors.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipMost AIRMATIC faults on the EQE SUV are sensor calibration issues, not actual hardware failures. A dealer recalibration usually resolves it. Save yourself the anxiety — it is rarely an expensive fix.
