Upon exiting my vehicke., I noticed a strong burning smell but could not pinpoint it. Over the next couple of days the smell persisted and my dashboard warning system alerted me that my tail lights were not working. The messages were alternating between rear left tail lights, rear right brake and tail lights, the turn signals, etc. It was just changing all the time. I took it in to the Mercedes dealer and they said I needed an entire tail light assembly and then told me they didn't know. As if now I have another appointment for 7 Jan 2920.

I was parking in la fitness gym. In la habra on 3/11/14 at 1 P.M, a clear day, in a space in the middle parking space. I was 90% parked in the parking space & had my foot on the brakes while finishing my parking. All of sudden the engine roared & car speed up & hit the SUV parked in front of me. The SUV moved 3-5 feet & touched the car parked next to it on its driver side. This has happened 2nd time. In Sep. 2013 this car accelerated by itself while I was parking behind a car by a residential area by a street curb. Please refer to my ODI # 10547151 for my previous reporting. The dealer has not been acknowledging any of my emails in this regard. My car's damaged is being repaired by house of imports in buena park, a Mercedes dealer. Please advise how can I recover my out of pocket loss & have the manufacturer fix this very risky defect.
