“The temperature LED has completely gone out and the clock/gear selection LED is unreadable... I believe seeing another complaint of the same type in the database, don't remember the model but was wondering why if this is a trend does mercedes not have a fix for the situation. I realize that the warranty is only good for so long but if other cars all have similar problems it seems as if mercedes would want to protect the reputation of quality durability and excellence behind their name.”
