THEN......a few hours later i go to the car my trunks open and i cant close it nor from the inisde button or from the key, not to mention the key still does not open the CAR???

I have the same problem today just after the thunderstorm. Parking in the garage I noticed some strange sound coming from the back, like a kind of humming electric motor. Then after half an hour later, the horn went off non-stop and although I can start the engine, when I lock or unlock the car, the passenger rear door pin doesn't go up/or down.
Called the MB Roadside Assistance and they will send somebody to look at it under warranty.
Will report what they find later. Annoying for a Mercedes Benz.

Common problem: Defect tailgate motor drains the battery and when its juice dry up, we'll have a Christmas tree light up in the cluster, saying Airbag system malfunction, brake lights blown, turn signal lights out....and so on.
Why don't they make a "regular" electric system ? No power= just die, silently and peacefully like other car brands.
