Hello,
I've had my new C200 Sport [W205] for 3 weeks now. From collection, I have suffered an annoying and very frequent 'buzz'-type rattle emanating from the external lights switch installation. It is typically repeatable by driving over cat eyes at speeds above circa 50 mph. A gentle hand 'bash' on the dash underneath the external lights switch demonstrates the source of the buzz.
I took the car into my dealer, who declared that it was the design of the switch itself and that nothing could be done about it! I was advised to monitor it and see if it bedded itself in with more mileage. This explanation sounds a bit too convenient to me, as it implies that every new C Class must suffer from the same fault!
So, my question to the forum is does anyone else suffer from this snag in their W205 C Class?
