	The srs light came on once before like 6 months back, and the mechanic cleared the code. this light came back on sept 5, 2012. the mercedes dealer told me that there are 2 fault codes: 1. 900b - passenger side seat belt buckle 2. 9243 - passenger side airbag ignition squib this car has only close to 37,000 miles. and this is a safety issue with airbags will not deploy in accidents. this car has never been in any accidents and is in pristine condition. i very strongly feel this is poor workmanship by mercedes and they should have a recall to fix this as this relates to safety.

	Right front xenon headlamp ballast failed causing headlamp to not illuminate, after this part was replaced shortly after the xenon igniter failed thus causing headlamp to not illuminate again. a couple of months later now the left headlamp has failed. the ballast has now failed on this light as well. the headlamps are so unreliable it is unsafe to drive at night. *tr
