Description of the problem	I purchased a used 2008 mercedes benz ml350 vin: [xxx] today, my power lift gate stopped operating. I can hear the motor running when i press the open/close button the driver's side door, and also on my remote, but the power lift gate doesn't operate. Upon doing some basic research, i understood that recalls were made on the 2009 and newer ml350 due to a faulty seal with the rear lighting assembly unit, which would cause water to leak into the spare tire assembly area and cause the power lift gate to stop working; it may also cause a fire. Upon removing the spare tire to inspect the area, i saw a large pool of water in the area. There was also water near the left brake light assembly. The water appears to have even caused deterioration of wires associated with the left brake light assembly unit. Following my above observations, i checked recalls and nothing was shown for my 2008 ml350, but clearly this is associated problem of my year as well. How can we go about getting this covered? Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
