Why not post the name of the Dealership and then we can all go to the MBUSA.com site, find the dealer and send them a ton of Emails asking what they intend to do about this. I am sure that the emails are routed thru MBUSA because I emailed a dealer and later got a message from MBUSA to ask if I received a satisfactory answer from the dealer.
Post the dealer name and we can all send some (not nasty or rude) emails asking why they haven't taken action on this. It sure can't hurt and will get their attention to get messages from a lot of MB owners on your behalf.

Where did you get this car? from a mb dealer or a car broker? the former should be no problem replacing a new car for you; the latter, you have to get a lawyer immediately. Most of cases, he doesn't have time showing up the court, you can easily win the case. (I read your previous thread, obviously, you deal with a guy does not want to solve your problem. I believe he would like to solve your problem as soon as he receives the summon from court.)
Always buying car from the mb dealer. You may pay more but you are always protected by the dealer and mbusa. (Car broker may import cars directly or get cars from other dealers. however, there is no way to control them, you need a lawyer.)

Thanks for the showing your support. But before I go that route I would like to speak to the factory rep in person next Thursday and hear them out. Thanks again!

Your picture looks like a photoshop to me. You probably did it to a picture of your dad's car. It is too obvious to be a real life problem, but you sure fooled a bunch of guys here.
Anyways, nice going you troll.
Take care.

I revisited "Less than 30 days and already two problems..." thread and compared these two pictures
found
1. the door fender between front door and rear door are not the same width in "30 days" thread (rear fender is wider)
2. the door fender different style. the one in this thread having the metal reflection. the other one does not. (may be the angle)
3. the license plate in this thread showing the vendor commercial (yellow on black in metal frame) but the other one showing in the "30 days" thread is (black on yellow in black frame)
4. the rear window has yellow reflection, the window as not clear as the left front window which allows you see through tree behind but the left rear window which is darker -- I cannot even see the headrest.
5. the left rear apron does not have consistant color with the left front apron.
my suggustion is you do need a lawyer who can solve the problem between you and dealer right away.

your rear door is repainted obviously
it is repainted and it is repainted by a no good body shop.
(I saw jobs from professional body shop, you cannot tell damages at all.)
give dealer your dead line (Thursday) then sue him. you definitely will get a new car. unfortunately, you deal with a dealer must use laws.
