What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mercedes benz c300. The contact stated that the rear driver's side light failed due to a melted electrical connector. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 50,000.
Tail light assembly burning up again. My 2010 mb c300 4matic sport had a recall to replace both tail light assemblies about 3 years ago. Now it is happening again and mb dealer wants $159 just for a diagnostic. Problems: dash warning messages started to appeal saying problems with tail light, brake light, fog light, turn signal, reverse lamp... Everything is out. Light bulbs looked fine but I replaced all bulbs anyway (from autozone parts), worked for a few hours, then warning messages showed up again.
