Rearview mirror has fog inside the glass, making it impossible to see out of it. Brake lights and headlights continue to fail. Also, dash lights failed.

I've had a dozen bulbs/fuses blow during the life of this vehicle. I've owned other vehicles that never blew a single bulb or fuse over their lifetime. I just wonder if this is a way for Mercedes Benz to increase service revenues. They want over $100 to replace each bulb.

When the vehicle was started the dashboard caught on fire. The fire department determined that the fire was started by an electrical short under the dash. The vehicle could not be driven.
