The numbers tell one story.
Two drivers, Gabriel Lahijani and Karendeep “Karina” Bath, have filed a lawsuit against Mercedes-Benz, alleging that the AMG logo on their driver’s seat caused them second-degree burns. The lawsuit claims that the logo can become extremely hot and contact the driver’s upper back, neck, or shoulder. Mercedes-Benz has a history of settlements, having paid $149.6 million in December to settle allegations of emissions cheating. The company’s response to this lawsuit remains to be seen. “A brand that burns its customers may be a brand that’s lost its way.”
