I have also being pulled over by police officers stating that the malfunction on my tail gate lights and stop / brake lights and also headlamps must be repaired asap, I did bought new bulbs and replaced the old bulbs on both low beam headlamps and brake/ stop & parking lights but they only work well for a few days but then they just stop working or work intermittently.... I have received a traffic violation ticket on 12/28/2018 after several pulled over from the same police department officers as they do not believe that I indeed have replaced the bulbs aforementioned ( I have attached the receipt for that violation ). the issue that worries me the most is the honk failure and the driver passenger airbag recall, those are a very sensitive safety matter and I please want to get help to get this fix. I have already contact 2 Mercedes Benz dealerships here in California ( downtown la motors & rusnak Mercedes Benz of arcadia, ca ).... at this time I haven't received any reply to my calls and emails, and I am really worry about it because this is the only vehicle I have and drive to commute to work and to pleasure on weekends when I take with me my 10 years old son, and that is the part that worries me the most, I do not want to risk my son in an event of a frontal crash with the airbags failure, that can cause the airbag to explode with shatter debris that can seriously injure my son and myself and even cause death... please help me to get this repairs done.

I've had this problem several times where I put in the car key to start the car, yes it starts up but the gas gauge, speedometer, and the rest on the dash go to all the way down and don't move, then my check engine light turns on. Sometimes the car doesn't start as well. I've gone to the dealership to buy a new key thinking it was the key but still the same problem. I saw that most of the C class has been recalled for the same issues I'm having but they didn't recall the C230. I believe you guys should do better investigation next time because I don't think I should have to pay to repair something that came defective. Also I've noticed that the 2006 C class also has a recall for the airbag which I've has the esn or esp letters popping up on NY dashboard stating something about the airbag yet my vehicle isn't eligible for that recall as well and I ask myself why? if they same problems I'm having are exactly the same I'm having with the recalled vehicle.

My complaint is against Mercedes-Benz, usa for their failure to inform me of the substantive defects and recalls at the time of my purchase of the 2006 Mercedes C280; VIN [xxx]. on April 24, 2009, I engaged in a contract with Mercedes Benz financial services for the purchase of the above 2006 C-280. I was never informed of the serious defects on the vehicle. I was never given an opportunity to make an informed decision. Hence, the business practice of Mercedes Benz and or it's dealership was deceptive.
