Bought the car in July 2013 third brake light lens fell off.I checked my brake lights with someone pushing the brake pedal and observed the electrical component dangling loose inside trunk third light space but no cover lens. Didn't notice the lens had fallen off until several strangers tailing me told me. I know there is a brake light issue that is being recalled on a different Mercedes model and year. I was thinking that perhaps my vehicle might have the same issue. So I googled this issue and to my disappointment found many more Mercedes Benz owners had the same problem as me. The reason its a disappointment because Mercedes Benz vehicles are highly regarded as the most prestige vehicle let alone one of the costly cars. Who would have imagined such small overlooked detail came off the assembly line. As a further insult Mercedes Benz refuse to acknowledge this as a problem and compensate its customers.

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.
