Well, after carefully going over the car and making a list of all the minor defects and malfunctions that seem to be adding up on a weekly basis, I'm going to take it in to the dealer and hope for the best. Nothing is mechanically wrong with the car, so hopefully it won't be too bad. The stuff that's hard for a dealer to service is fine. Here's my list.

- Delaminated Headlights. (everybody has this)
- Driver's Seat Heater not working. (bottom cushion only)
- Glove Box light works about 50% of the time. (pin switch hangs up sometimes)
- Central locking unlocks door and hatch with driver's door opening about 50% of the time. (not a big deal, may not mention it)
- Outside temp gauge reads about 20 degrees high over 75 degrees (engine heat) I know it's not 95 degrees out when I'm wearing a jacket. Seems normal under 75. (started after I pulled the lower grills out, "I" may have damaged the sensor in the process)
- AC recirculate feature and REST feature not working at all. (typical MB AC control panel failure, remove and replace...)
- AC turns itself off randomly and won't come back on till restart. (see above)
- Driver's side wind noise. (everyone seems to have this)
- Rear Hatch rattles over bumps. (see above)
- Squeaky driver's window. (see above)
- Noise in Right Rear Suspension (??? Hasn't done it in 2 weeks...)
- Front left wheel rubbing fender well on full lock in reverse. ( typical issue I've read about before)

I guess I should remove the aftermarket radio and HIDs first. Not too good for an 18,000 mile car. You guys think I'll see the car again before Christmas??? The service contract I have only allows a loaner car for 5 business days.
