Mercedes Sold Me a Defective 2020 EQC - Keeps Charging Me for Costly Repairs

Last year, my 2020 Mercedes EQC also displayed a battery malfunction. Since it was an imported vehicle, I was told that it wasn’t covered under warranty and that I had to pay for the repairs. After my car sat in the service center for three months, the rear motor was replaced, and I paid ₺220,000 for the repair. Recently, the same issue reappeared, so I took it to Koluman service. After a week of inspection, they informed me that this time the front motor needed to be replaced, quoting a ₺310,000 repair cost. The repair estimate document is attached. This time, I will definitely take legal action in international courts because this is a clear case of selling a defective product. From now on, Mercedes should be the one to worry about what comes next.

I called the relevant number. In summary, they said we cannot provide support as it is not from an authorized dealer. I said, request it from the factory. Ultimately, I will file a defective goods lawsuit.

Mercedes-Benz Refused Free Warranty Repair on My GLC 220d Headlight Unit

"Update: I Still Haven’t Received a Positive Response to My Complaint Although I have contacted Mercedes-Benz Gelecek Otomotiv Diyarbakır Authorized Service and the relevant authorities regarding the issue of the headlight replacement, which was previously approved under warranty but later rejected (the details of which I shared in my initial complaint on 07.04.2025), I still have not received a satisfactory, solution-oriented response. Despite the time that has passed, I have only been offered a discount. However, there has been no official, written explanation as to why a process previously accepted under warranty was later made chargeable. I would like to reiterate that I reserve my legal rights under Consumer Rights, that my grievance continues, and that I expect the Mercedes-Benz brand to address the process seriously and provide a solution. If the issue is not resolved; - I would like to state that I will initiate application processes with the Consumer Arbitration Committee, - Mercedes-Benz Turkey Headquarters, - And, if necessary, with the relevant legal authorities. I would like to point out that one of the main reasons for being a Mercedes-Benz customer is my trust in the premium quality service of the brand and my belief that I would not be subjected to such grievances. However, the reluctance to resolve this issue is turning the premium perception into disappointment. I expect a global brand like Mercedes-Benz, which values customer satisfaction, to address this situation urgently with an understanding that prioritizes customer satisfaction."
