| The instrument cluster in the company car i am driving which is a 2002 mercedes benz model s500 just recently went out completely. i have taken the car in to be repaired and a new fuse was put in and it blew within an hour. i have called mercedes benz directly and they said that the recall 06v028000 does not apply to me. i also called the fletcher jones motorcar dealership and they said the same thing. both the dealership and mercedes benz refuse to replace the instrument cluster modules based on the safety recall 06v028000. the problem is i am unable to read the gauges and indicators, such as the speedometer, which could increase the risk of a crash. *tr | |||
