Afternoon guys and girls (Sorry if this is in the wrong section),
I had the safety recall on 1st June for the airbag deployment thing (I don't know much about cars tbh) everything was fine until on Thursday 21st June I turned on the ignition and I got the following messages on my dash;
Cruise control inoperative
Speedtronic inoperative
Run flat indicator inoperative
A light came up with an image of a car with curved lines behind it also
The indicators didn't work, neither did the washers, front lights when using stalk but the hazard lights worked and front lights when using button/switch.
Plugged in to diagnostics and got the fault code U021287 - Communication with switch groupsteering column - Missing message
Straight away took it to Mercedes where they done the safety recall as it was linked to the steering column and they washed their hands of it completely and told me it has nothing to do with it. Any idea what the issue could be? They've definitely knocked something while doing the recall (apparently the wire for that indicator stalk is very tight and can be easily damaged if not careful.
Any help would be appreciated! They want £390 for a new indicator stalk but they are out of stock on back order at the moment. Seems a bit fishy to me, never had to wait more than a day for a part before....
