| Description of the problem | The led tail lights are failing. My assessment on this issue is that water and debris are entering the tail light due to a gasket or seal that is failing. Dealer and mercedes does not want to help, and have told me they will no longer respond to my emails. Im getting the run around. Its clearly a safety defect/hazard, based on transport canada. This happens with no warning, until enough led's are out the message turned on. |
