If this is correct (I am not a lawyer) then the fed. govt. plus Mercedes could be held liable for your injury from the defective tail light situation that caused your injury. Here again, it is money that talks. "Golly gee, we have XXXXX cases of SLK owners getting in on a joint lawsuit. We better fix those darn tail lights".

Are you kidding me? It would be far better to take care of the problem yourself, and bring it up on this fouram than to get the government invold in anything. you said you were not a lawyer. don't offer opinions on thing you know nothing about, unless you are a democrate.
