While driving my turn signals, brake lights, windshield wipers, seat controls, and I'm not sure what else became inoperable. Also the SRS warning displayed meaning the airbags were malfunctioning. Seems that the sam module is the culprit but nothing should be able to stop such vital safety issues from happening all at once. I have seen several articles about this happening and a recall is needed in my opinion.

Due to a faulty right taillamp seal, water got into a control module and damaged it beyond repair. I woke up and walked outside to see my headlights flashing and upon further inspection my key fob not working, SRS disabled, and many other miscellaneous electronic components disabled. Some time before this, the motor to the rear hatch stopped working, possibly for the same reason.

Less than a year after I bought the car, during month of april 2014, different error messages started to appear on dash including ABS (brake system), SRS (air bags), and steering wheel vibrating, hard to turn wheel, a few tail/parking lights not working. At shop, they said sensors were bad, and due to my extended warranty they replaced the entire power steering system ($272) but said to repair the air bags would cost $800. A different mechanic said under $100 to fix air bag sensors. Now, august 2014, trunk lift motors are konking out and the lock is not latching, pops open while driving, have to pull over to shut before everything falls out. Also other motors for windows and sunroof work intermittently. When turning left the parking brake sensor light pops up on dash....also out of the blue one day the whole GPS system was blank, totally wiped of all info destinations, history etc from past year, only a map shows now.

Srs and airbag lights remain on. I won't bother with the dealer because I have seen numerous complaints on various blogs of people with the same issue who have been told that this is a $750 sensor that needs to be replaced. Mercedes should seek recourse with their suppliers and stand behind their "world-class german engineering" and make their customers whole.
