problem #1

R350 6-cyl

  • 65,000 miles
On my 2006 Mercedes Benz R350, the rear brakelights and taillights regularly fail to eliminate. The lights are very inconsistent and when they fail a back-up substitute light comes on. A message appears on the dash indicating that the substitute lights are on. After changing the bulbs numerous times, I was told by a mechanic at Mercedes that the contact may be worn out.
