2006 Mercedes Benz CLK350

I've just bought the car and it has only 70k, the engine doesn't want to go, it stalls but there is no check engine light on, I'll be driving and the car will just die, or start to diminish, and gas consumption , now all my lights fail, high beams, low beams, turn signals, Brake lights one after another, so I go to auto zone to purchase lights and one of the associates comes to help me, he stares that all the we ires are exposed,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCEDES BENZ CLK350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 5/19/15*CN THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE, GAS FUMES BECAME VERY STRONG IN THE GARAGE AND INSIDE THE HOUSE. UPDATED 7/1/2015*JS

BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY 2013 THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LENS FELL OFF.I CHECKED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WITH SOMEONE PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND OBSERVED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT DANGLING LOOSE INSIDE TRUNK THIRD LIGHT SPACE BUT NO COVER LENS. DIDN'T NOTICE THE LENS HAD FALLEN OFF UNTIL SEVERAL STRANGERS TAILING ME TOLD ME. I KNOW THERE IS A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE THAT IS BEING RECALLED ON A DIFFERENT MERCEDES MODEL AND YEAR. I WAS THINKING THAT PERHAPS MY VEHICLE MIGHT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SO I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT FOUND MANY MORE MERCEDES BENZ OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THE REASON ITS A DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES ARE HIGHLY REGARDED AS THE MOST PRESTIGE VEHICLE LET ALONE ONE OF THE COSTLY CARS. WHO WOULD HAVE IMAGINED SUCH SMALL OVERLOOKED DETAIL CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. AS A FURTHER INSULT MERCEDES BENZ REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND COMPENSATE ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

2006 MERCEDES CLK350 CONVERTIBLE- ABOUT 45, 000 MILES ON IT, BOUGHT AS A USED CAR IN SEPT 2009. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE LEFT ON ALL DAY AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS RECHARGED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I WOULD DRIVE ABOUT A BLOCK OR TWO AND THE SECOND TIME I PUT ON BRAKES, THE EPS DASH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. THE ENGINE COULD BE RESTARTED AND THE CAR DRIVEN (INCLUDING THE FREEWAY), BUT THE EPS LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON AND KILL THE ENGINE, AFTER MORE BRAKING. THE CAR DIED, ON THE WAY TO THE STOCKTON, CALIF. DEALER, AS I BRAKED ON THE OFF RAMP AS I BRAKED AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS REAR END ACCIDENT BY THE CAR FOLLOWING ME. ADDITIONAL, THE SIDE DRIVER WINDOW THAT AUTOMATICALLY DROPS DOWN WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN, WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO ALL THE WAY BACK UP WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. I TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THE WINDOWS NEEDED RE-SYNCRONIZING. THAT THERE WAS A MISCODING IN THE COMPUTER, WHICH NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPGRADING. I ASKED WHY OTHER MERCEDES OWNERS WERE NOT INFORMED, BUT GOT NO ANSWER. I ALSO ASKED TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED, SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ONLY TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT, SINCE THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY COMPUTER UPGRADES. I WAS NOT TOLD OF ANY RECALLS, YET THERE APPEARS TO BE A POSSIBLE RELATED COMPUTER RECALL BULLETIN FOR IMPROPER CODING. THE DEALER DID THE RESYNC AND COMPUTER UPGRADE AND THE CAR IS BACK TO DRIVING NORMAL. *TR
