Latches/locks/linkage Problems of Mercedes Benz C230

I have a 2003 Mercedes Benz C230 kompressor sedan. Today my rear door opened by itself while in the car. I closed it and it opened again. This is very dangerous, since it can occur while driving at high speeds. This is the first time this has happened to me.

Door lock malfunction - while driving, I heard something come from the left/driver side. . . It sounded like a box or something fell from my rear seat, onto the floor and under my seat. I sat in the car, unlocking/locking, and it continued to go nuts. . . Even the central locking button on the dash failed to work a few times. . . Looks like a door lock actuator problem that costs about $400 to fix.

I am the owner of a c-230 4 door sedan VIN# wdbrf40j93f386357. I have an issue that I was looking into addressing when another major issue just arrose that I need help from the manufacturer who I have contacted but not received a response. 1) last week I decided to quote insurance and make a change to allstate. Once they put in the VIN# major issues came. The price was way different then what I was paying with Mercury. To make this short, after talking to my broker at Mercury, it turns out my 4 door has the VIN# of a 2 door coupe. I called beverly hills ltd where I purchased the car new. They did nothing. I have the original temp registration from the day I purchased the car new, and the dealer typed coupe not four door and on the lease agreement. I did not notice this. Here are my issues. The coupe is more expensive on insurance - I have been overpaying since 2/2003. 2nd, am I paying a fair lease rate if the VIN# is for another body style. This car has been nothing but nightmare to deal with since the day I purchased it. It has been serviced 8 times, transmission work, 2 computers, camshaft, new radio, idle issues, brake system failed, and so on. It's a complete lemon. It is going in next week again. I have only 21,000 on the car, and drive my 2nd car more a 79 300sd mercedes as it is more reliable then this new car. I need somewhere, someone to go to, any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, darren weingarten - phone or email.
