TAIL LIGHT WIRING FOR 2010 MERCEDES C300 WAS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL ISSUED IN 2014. TAIL LIGHT WIRING IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING BURNING/MELTING DUE TO INSUFFICIENT GROUND WIRE CAPACITY (ISSUE OF ORIGINAL RECALL). MERCEDES DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THE PARTS UNDER RECALL PROCEDURES AND IS REQUIRING PAYMENT FOR REPLACEMENT. TAIL LIGHTS CURRENTLY INTERMITTENTLY WORK BUT EXPERIENCE TOTAL FAILURE OF ALL TAIL LIGHTS (INCLUDING BRAKE, TURN INDICATOR, ETC) WHEN NOT WORKING.

THE C300 MODEL HAS A NOTORIOUS PROBLEM WITH ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCKING LEAVING THE CAR MOBILELESS. CANNOT EVEN PUT IN NEUTRAL FOR TOWING. THE CAR SIMPLY WON'T START. IT WILL LEAVE A MOTORIST STRANDED AT ANY TIME, ANY PLACE AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND REPRESENTS A DANGEROUS HAZARD TO MOTORIST'S SAFETY.

ESL MODULE FAILURE(BRUSHES OF THE SUBSTANDARD ELECTRICAL MOTOR GO BAD) LEAVES THE CAR INOPERABLE. ALMOST ALL C300 AND SIMILAR MODELS WILL EXPERIENCE THIS FAILURE BEFORE THEY REACH 80,000 MILES.

THE MASS FAILURE OF THE MODULE WOULD SUGGEST THAT THERE WOULD BE A RECALL, NEVERTHELESS MERCEDES-BENZ(MB) IS PRETENDING THE PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST AND OWNERS ARE OFTEN LEFT STRANDED ON PARKING LOTS WITH AN USELESS CAR AND STUCK WITH A BILL OF $2000 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY A MB DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FAULT.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN GARAGE. "REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION" IS MESSAGE ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. CAR WILL NOT START. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 64K MILES. CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE.
