Whining side mirrors, creaky console and drivers seat...

I seem to have a few electrical issues with my Benz.

The brake light will come on for no apparant reason and I have to pull the brake handle to clear it.

My side mirrors will squelch when I open the car in the morning or after it has sit for a period of time (I'm in Los Angeles, so weather is not the issue).

My drivers seat creaks when I am driving, such as when I start to move again from a red light or making certain turns..I HATE it!

And now the middle console creaks when I put my arm on top of it or apply a bit of pressure.

They tried to adjust brake issue, but it still happens. At first my Bluetooth had terrible feedback, but they reinstalled the program and it fixed the problem.

I can't help feel dissappointed that I am driving around in a Benz that sounds like this! It's embarrassing....

i was also embarrassed by the annoying noise on my benz (parking brake issue)

the only advice i can give is harass the service manager at your or any dealership until they fix it.
