“Headlights intermittently going off while driving, fog lights quit working, can get no lights to come on sometimes while driving. Have researched and found that there has already been a recall put out on my vehicle according to carfax, yet when I speak to anyone at Mercedes-Benz, they say my car is not included and will not do anything to help.”
