Headlights Problems of Mercedes Benz C Class

The wires within both of my headlights of my 2009 mercedes c300 have their insulation so deteriorated that the wires are fully exposed. This issue causes the lights to cut in and out without warning which have occurred during highways speeds and or rural areas in puerto rico. This dangerous situation is not being taken care of by the manufacturer with various attempts tried.

Many newer cars are equipped with blinding, blue-green, headlights that are a safety hazard and should be prohibited. There are several problems. First, when seen from any angle, these headlights are highly distracting, in that they draw ones eyes from the road ahead and on either side; the reason that they are distracting is that they are of a notably different color and are much brighter than the traditional incandescent lights. Second, when viewed from any angle, the light "flares" about ones eyes, forming spikes that radiate outwards from the light itself, thereby obscuring one's view of things above, below and on either side of the light itself. Third, when viewed from the opposite direction, the lights are often blinding, depending on whether the road is flat or hilly, the result being to obscure almost everything ahead, about the same as traditional incandescent lights on "high"beam. Fourth, when viewed from the opposite direction on roadways that are not perfectly level, these headlights alternate rapidly, back and forth, like a strobe light, between "standard" and "blinding," a result of the fact (which I assume) that the lights are very tightly focused, and the problem being that the "focused" light under these conditions is repeatedly focused on the eyes of the driver heading in the opposite direction. The most hazardous are items three and four, but item four is particularly hazardous because it combines the worst of all of the others - both distraction and blindingness. Clearly, headlights need to be designed to light the way ahead; but there are competing goals, which include not blinding other drivers. Like everything else in this world, what is good for one person must be weighed against its negative impacts on others. That is where government has a key responsibility; to assess the benefits and burdens and arrive at a compromise that optimally suits everyone's needs best.

3/03 within 3 months of purchasing my 2002 c-240, the air conditioning stopped working, fuel gauge failed, headlight washer broke, and one of the vents on the dash fell apart. Took in for service and was given another 2002 c-240, and while driving the loaner car in the mountains, it began down shifting itself and there was no power. Car would come to complete stop and then would start moving again. Happened 6 times. Mercedes dealer thought was isolated incident. I felt it was very serious as I was on interstate when it would suddenly stop in traffic. Could have caused a very serious accident. 4/03 air conditioning not working again.
