I have also being pulled over by police officers stating that the malfunction on my tail gate lights and stop / brake lights and also headlamps must be repaired asap, i did bought new bulbs and replaced the old bulbs on both low beam headlamps and brake/ stop & parking lights but they only work well for a few days but then they just stop working or work intermittently .... I have received a traffic violation ticket on 12/28/2018 after several pulled over from the same police department officers as they do not believe that i indeed have replaced the bulbs aforementioned ( i have attached the receipt for that violation ). The issue that worries me the most is the honk failure and the driver passenger airbag recall, those are a very sensitive safety matter and i please want to get help to get this fix. I have already contact 2 mercedes benz dealerships here in california ( downtown la motors & rusnak mercedes benz of arcadia, ca ).... At this time i haven't received any reply to my calls and emails, and i am really worry about it because this is the only vehicle i have and drive to commute to work and to pleasure on weekends when i take with me my 10 years old son, and that is the part that worries me the most, i do not want to risk my son in an event of a frontal crash with the airbags failure, that can cause the airbag to explode with shatter debris that can seriously injure my son and myself and even cause death...
