R headlight turn signal will not work (rest of headlight works) randomly flash check different lights and all work. Random issues with front windows. Abc light. Car has less than 54,000 miles on it. Mercedes told me all recalls have been considered fixed and I shouldn't have purchased the car if I didn't want to spend the money to fix it. Now it has thrown the v-belt. I have read the forums about the many issues and there doesn't seem to be any assistance offered to remedy these issues. When you spend a lot of money on a vehicle you would think it would be dependable for a while without having to put thousands more into it. I am not talking about the regular maintenance and upkeep. This is a great car minus the many issues.
