1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2014

Complaint: c-class rear light melting issue. Rear bulb light fail error. Reporting a burning smell of melting plastic and failure of rear turn signals and brake lights. I went out on the internet and saw I wasn't the only one this happened to and that the u. S. Safety regulators have opened a probe of an estimated 218,000 mercedes c-class sedans have been reported. I called the mercedes-benz of seattle and everyone that I tried to talk to about this problem didn't acknowledge it at all. Of course I had the it repaired and it cost $541. 41 again trying to talk to them about this problem and what I had seen on the internet no one was saying anything which showed me they have been told not to talk about it. I called mercedes corporate office to see if they could to a good will gesture but I was told "no". Add me to the list of complaints. I would like to be reimbursed for this amount so I hope I see a recall come through.
