Exterior Lighting Problems of Mercedes Benz SLK320

Previous recall 05v505 has been completed but the issue has returned the issue has been intermittent for a fee months but the tail light has been non op for a few months, I have tried different sockets and bulbs to no avail. The issue has not caused any incidents but I have no brake light on the drivers side due to melting on the lamp itself aswell as the pins on the connector are warped.

The contact owns a 2002 mercedes-benz Slk320. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message that the rear light had malfunctioned was displayed. Upon inspection, it was discovered that while depressing the brake pedal, the driver’s side brake light failed to illuminate as needed. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the rear lamp module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 05v505000 (exterior lighting). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced that failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 106,000.

Rear break lights were repalced in 2006 recall (05v05000). Same problem in Jan of 2015. No chance of dealer standing behind the recall again. Now I have to pay out of pocket the cost to fix the lights that were recalled prior. Over $600. When they just replaced the recall with the same faulty lights. Turns out their c-class is now having the same recall problem.
