GLK 350
Dash Suddenly Shutting Off
Hi All,
I am in need of some help. We own a 2010 GLK 350 2000KM every available option which has come down with a major issue. While driving all the guages suddenly die, its like they all have shut off but the car is still in drive and moving forward, also the lights that illuminate them as well as the ones that light up the stereo buttons also fail.
Any advice on this issue is appreciated, this problem makes the car un-drivable at night especially and during the day as the guage cluster is jet black and one does not know speed or any relivent information to the vehicle and its current state.
Also somtimes it suddenly comes back on. We have stoped and put the vehicle in park and then shut it off and turned it back on and sometimes they come back to life sometimes they don't.
Not sure what to do next but put it on a flat deck and take it to the dealership.
Your thoughts
Thanks

2002 C32 1987 190E 2.3 334K miles and going
2002 C32 dimming dashboard lights
My situation is, except for the central instrument display and the climate control
panel display, all the button lights (ESP, radio, power windows, gear indicators, etc) go extremely dim almost barely seen when switching the headlamps on. After starting the engine, both instrument display and climate control panel are bright but as soon as I turn the headlamps on, it dims a liitle bit and the rest of the buttons can hardly be seen.
It could be a battery going weak but somehow it still cranks the engine and fires up after about 1.5 - 2.0 seconds of turning.

GLK 350
Well MB in Calgary has now had the GLK 350 for two weeks and no solution, they claim that they are waiting on codes from Germany. This is very frustrating, what do we do now just wait for our new car to be fixed, does anyone know how to expediate this process. I'm starting to think that this will be my first and last MB.
