Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The brake light (driver side) was malfunctioning and giving multiple indicator warnings on the dash computer. After checking to see if it was a faulty bulb... The harness connecting to the taillight housing was burnt and melted. The taillight bulb housing was brittle and was burnt as well. The dealership said they know of no such recalls and are replacing the taillight bulb housing and replacing the burnt harness. (435. 00) they also said that the computer module is bad because it is telling the brake light to stay on. They are not sure which occurred first. This is another 1000. 00 repair. I have researched this issue online and there are many other mercedes c-series vehicles having the same issue. Most experts think the gauge of the wiring is not acceptable to the load of current. This is a safety hazard and is not looking like an isolated incident. Thank you for your support on this matter.
