Instrument Panel Failure problems of the 2003 Mercedes Benz S430

While driving getting ready to enter the highway my 2003 mercedes S430 instrument panel went out. The gauges got stuck on what they were while driving. I wasn't able to see anything on the panel. I took it to the nearest shop and they changed the fuse, however the fuse blew right back out each time they changed it. The car was still drivable. I haven't had this car for 1 year yet and I am lost at what to do. The shop said the instrument chaise will work but something is blewing the fuse. I was also told that the aluminator in the instrument panel is faulty and needs to be replaced. Any help with this issue is helpful. . Please help as this car has become a nightmare (instrument panel, doors don't lock, passender seat moves at wierd times, and the air strut busted) instead of a good dream. I have read a number of issues with the instrument panel failure in these cars. I wish I would of seen this before I purchased it. Mercedes needs to cover the cost in fixing this issue.
