| Description of the problem | Just saw on the internet the investigation on 2008 c350 and faulty brake lights. Ever since about 2009-2010 we've been plagued with electrical problems with this car, but always we get warnings about the tail brake lights. We've had the car to the dealer multiple times, and have had several expensive repairs changing out boards. Still.... Every time you start the vehicle you have to clear the taillight error messages. To be fair we've not had any burning or melted parts, maybe we've just gotten lucky. But there is definitely something wrong with the design/manufacture of the system. Please investigate further and if warranted start a recall!!!! |
