ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY RIGHT TAIL LIGHT KEEPS DIMMING AND GOING BACK BRIGHT. I THOUGHT I NEEDED A BULB BUT BUT IT GAVE ME A MESSAGE TODAY FOR EVERYTHING ON THE RIGHT SIDE BUT THEN THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY. LAST NIGHT SOMEONE TOLD ME THE RIGHT LIGHT WAS DIM THEN IT GOT BRIGHTER. I'VE BEEN SMELLING A FAINT BURNING SMELL BUT TODAY IT WAS KIND OF LOUD. I CHECKED AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE PLASTIC AND WIRE IS MELTING ON RTE RIGHT TAIL LIGHT.

ON TWO OCCASIONS, WITH THE LATEST BEING ON 12/11/2018, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COMPLETELY AFTER I PARKED IT. EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN SUBJECT TO A RECALL (2010100002), MERCEDES BENZ CHARGED ME $1255 JUST TO UNLOCK IT WITHOUT REPAIRING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK BECAUSE THE PROBLEM THEY REPAIRED IS PART OF THE RECALL.

THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL MERCEDES. MERCEDES ACKNOWLEDGED THE "TAKATA" AIRBAG RECALL VIA A LETTER IN APRIL 2016. DESPITE RECEIVING REMINDERS THAT MY VEHICLE MAY REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REPAIR SERVICE AS PART OF A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL, NO REPLACEMENT HAS OCCURRED. I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS ISSUE?

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITY RISK YOUR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL BASED ON THE DEFAULT DECISION OF TK HOLDINGS, INC. (TAKATA). IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES DURING A CRASH THAT REQUIRES FRONTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE DEFECT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO EXPLODE DURING DEPLOYMENT AND COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE DRIVER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
