Take it to the dealer
Am I the only one who finds it less than helpful when requesting help or advise you get the reply "take it to the dealer". Surely the whole point of forums like this is NOT to take it to the dealer. I for one must have saved hundreds of £'s from the advice that I've gleaned from this site and fixed problems myself.

A lot of time times "take it to the dealer" is the correct answer. Lots of people ask questions while acknowledging the car is under warranty. I understand wanting to understand what might be going on, but you can't blame someone for that reply in the case of warranty.

I can understand how someone might feel "take it to the dealer" sounds curt - but in the case where the forum member's have not encountered that specific issue - and as most C-Class here in the US - where the majority of forum members live - can be under warranty - then it can be "take it to the dealer" can be the best recommendation.
In the case of the W205 - here in the US as a current model we have dealer service (under warranty or after warranty) and we have a good # of experienced Indie MB repair shops - and as a current model - yes, there are many items that can come up with a W205 mechanically where - in the absence of someone else's matching expereince - where a proper diagnostic needs to be done to move forward..

Because if he had told me that one of the lights wasn't working then I would have advised him to look at the wiring loom wrapped around the hinge for breakages.
