Hello there, this is my vehicle information 2006 Mercedes Benz C230 sport VIN : (xxxxx) and this is the NHTSA recall number : 16V081 manufacturer recall number : 2018030001 I have started a research after I have experienced too many issues with electrical wiring & headlamps, tailgate lights, stop lights, parking lights and the malfunction on the horn which has stopped working since 2/2/2019. 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.

My first incidence was driving and the steering would all of a sudden get stiff like it needed power steering fluid or something. Check it wasn't the fluid (this happened a few month ago I thought hmmm probably just something freaky) then 1/8/16 riding down the busy interstate highway the car acceleration just left. I pressed the accelerator to the floor but no speed. It was extremely scary. I had the car checked out...it's the classic problem I never heard of until today. ( intake manifold tumble flap) some plastic junk on an expensive car. If I wanted a junk car I would've went to the "junk yard" paid like 250. And be done with it. I'm very disappointed and angry. I'm glad my kids wasn't in the car and it wasn't a horrific outcome. Now I can't do anything with the car right now because it's expensive to repair for such a cheap piece that shouldn't have never been on it and because #1 I'm on a fixed income #2 I still have to pay for it. But what does mb care about that....its just a product to them, a money maker.

Bought the car in Oct.of 2013. Third brake warning comes on from time to time. Have checked my brake lights with someone pushing the brake pedal while I observed more than once and they work fine. Two of my co-workers have told me recently while following me that my third brake light does not always work. I know there is a brake light issue that is being recalled on a different Mercedes model and year. Was thinking that my vehicle might have the same issue.
