While parked over night or during the day while at work the parking light come on by it self without my knowing. This drains the battery and I have to get a jump start. . This is really inconvenience. I could be anywhere and this could happen. This happens once sometime twice a month. It is not the light switch , it is always in the off position on several occasions I was able to return and turn off the light. Only one light comes on the passenger side front and rear.

I only have 30,000 miles on my 2010 c300. The driver interior door latch broke leaving me unable to open the door. I took to dealer and I even had an extended bumper to bumper warranty till 60,000 miles... The dealer or the warranty would not cover my door latch, stating it is wear and tear... This part is cheap plastic, that is pulled on numerous times a day. Plastic is not durable, especially in states with multiple extremes in temperatures. It was $150 just to remove the door panel by the mercedes dealer to tell me that it would not be covered. They told me that the part is $618 plus labor, making the total close to $1000. I have rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and polymyositis, making it painful to try and reach out an open window to open door by using exterior handle. I recently had a dead battery and needed to be inside my car for safety, but was unable then to open car until help came. I could not physically climb over center console to go out passenger side. Living in a state with extreme temperatures, this could be fatal. After researching my problem, many have had the same issue. 17 on this site alone. This is not wear and tear! The handle is cheap plastic, that brakes very easily. Please help, this is a very expensive safety repair! I have even heard of some people having multiple door handles on their car break.

After I turn the car off, the front left light on the top continues to stay on. If I move the knob back and forth slightly, then shuts off, at least for a while. I just had to deal with a dead battery yesterday when I was getting ready to leave work. From what I have recently researched, this is a common issue among this model. Has a recall been made for this? Will this cause any other issues with the vehicle? If it is a shortage in the electrical, am I in danger of the vehicle not reacting appropriately while driving at night or at a higher speed on the highway? Is there any risk of it catching fire? There is also a sensor that needs to be replaced. I am not that car savvy, but I believe it may have something to do with fuel injection or something filtering properly. Is that another common issue?
