ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

 I changed the low beam halogen bulbs in my headlights when i discovered that the wire leads to the bulb had lost nearly all of their insulation, exposing bare wire. the insulation flakes were sitting in the bottom of the capsule that contains the light assembly, which is normally closed, accessed by a removable door. both headlights had this same issue. this is an obvious sparking/fire danger, so i applied electrical tape over the wires. had i not changed the bulbs [they lose brightness over the years], i would have been unaware of this danger. i am concerned that this same wire insulation has been used throughout the vehicle. i am amazed that mercedes has not issued a recall on this. i purchased this car new in 2007.

 The fuel leaked onto the ground, onto the exhaust, and the smell was inside the vehicle cabin. we got the fuel pump assembly replaced but we still have a fuel cap failure now with no result. there is a design flaw present & using a band-aid for the problem will not solve anything.
