2 Back Up Lights problem of the 2008 Mercedes Benz C300

Failure Date: 04/12/2014

The rear lights continue to fail - brake lights, stop lights, turn signals and backup lights fail repeatedly. The dashboard indicator announces lights are out and when I checked the bulbs are intact but and the lights come back on by jiggling the whole lighting housing. They go out again as soon a travel resumes.
