They allege the front seats of certain Mercedes AMG vehicles have a design defect where the raised metallic AMG logo is “reasonably expected” to come in contact with a driver’s upper back, neck or shoulder. Mr Lahijani, a Los Angeles resident, leased a new 2026 Mercedes AMG E-Class car from an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealership, the suit states. When she entered her hot parked Mercedes AMG car wearing a sleeveless top, her shoulder immediately touched the logo, causing a burning sensation, according to the court document. In the following days, a mark in the shape of the AMG logo “darkened and became visible on her skin, consistent with a thermal contact burn”, the suit states. They also want the car company to pay for other owners to have the logo removed from their cars.
