| Exterior Lighting problems |
I purchased a mercedes ml 430 2001 in may 2001. Since then a part called a stop light switch has gone out 6 times. The following are dates and mileage on vehicle: 5/10/05 40,561 miles, 9/28/06 47,767 miles, 8/14/07 51,801 miles, 4/10/08 55,151 miles, 3/17/09 61,105 miles, and 1/28/10 65,465 miles. On August 14, 2007 with this stop light switch going out I could not disengage the vehicle out of cruise control. By the grace of god I was able to pump the brakes until it disengaged before almost running into a vehicle in front of me at 60 mph. This part is defective and will one day kill or seriously injure people.
