2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2012

My transmission began leaking fluid with 22,000 miles on it and now the transfer case needs to be replaced because it is leaking transmission fluid. I was driving up a hill and my SUV felt like it was skipping gears. The next day I noticed red liquid on the garage floor. It was towed to mercedes service department in hoover and supposedly fix. However, the transfer case is still leaking.

3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2011

We have had continuing problems with the control buttons on the windows,temp controls, lights, etc. Losing their painted covering/delaminating. Mercedes has said that this is an environmental problem due to hand lotion and/or air fresheners and not a defect. We've have many cars over many years and we've never had this problem occur before. Apparently mercedes has recognized the problem and sent a service advisory to their repair entities but they are refusing to acknowledge this as a defect. This is a safety problem as the letters and words on the buttons become illegible forcing the driver to take their attention from road to try and obtain the required action.
