Mercedes Benz R500 owners have reported 2 problems related to electrical system (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The vehicle's rear drivers side brake or reverse light would not go off for a week (to my knowledge) and while sitting in the passenger side I turned on the heat warming device and there was no problem. It was after we had been shopping and returned to the vehicle did we notice a smell of something burning, but could not tell where it was coming from. Still unaware that a fire could start from the back of the vehicle, is when we realized that the cargo area of the vehicles side panel was in complete flames! thus, causing physical and mental injuries, smoke and property damage and a complete sense of insecurity. The vehicles main security feature never warned us of any potential life threatening danger as it would if my tire was low and the on call system failed to be helpful when trying to get help, for we were only able to hear the representatives but not communicate with them which led to 5 representative disconnect calls.
