Tl the contact owns a 2006 mercedes-benz Slk350. On several occasions, while the contact's daughter was driving, the headlamps became inoperable. The contact stated that the wiring harness to the headlamps melted and left the wires exposed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
Side marker bulbs constantly burning out. Purchased car in 2012, and every annual inspection need to replace bulbs. But after about two weeks, they burn out again. Was told by mechanic wiring in light assembly defective. Cost to replace assembly estimated $150 per side/$300 for both - excluding labor. If assembly defective, feel I should not absorb cost to replace. An obvious mercedes defect.
