| Description of the problem | I currently own a 2009 mercedes c300 that has ongoing problems with the brake light malfunctioning. This first happened in 2011 when the dummy light told me that the brake light was out. I brought my car to a local auto shop to have the light repaired and was told by the shop that they weren't able to change the bulb because the panel with the light was melted and smoking |
