Two drivers of Mercedes AMG cars have filed a class action lawsuit against the luxury car company, alleging that the AMG logo on the front seats becomes so hot that it burns drivers and leaves branded marks. Gabriel Lahijani suffered second-degree burns on May 31 while wearing a tank top in his 2026 Mercedes-AMG E-Class, with a dermatologist documenting the injuries described as « AMG inscribed ». Roughly six weeks later, Karendeep Bath, a Chatsworth, California resident, received similar burns. Both plaintiffs are seeking compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, as well as the removal of the logo from other affected vehicles. In December, Mercedes-Benz USA and parent company Daimler AG agreed to pay $149.6 million to settle allegations of emission cheating devices in hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
