SLK250 rattle and vibration

You're clearly not getting anywhere with the dealership, which appear to have given up on you. It's time to take your complaint further up the company tree and contact Mercedes-Benz directly. Ask them to have a technician from head office assess your car. Phone them on 1300 730 200.

Mercedes-Benz SLK350 air-conditioning vents

Go back to the dealer and explain your frustration to him and request again that they be fixed. Should that not achieve the outcome you want take your complaint higher and go directly to Mercedes-Benz itself. I am sure if you do that you will receive the service you believe you are entitled to.

Merc service cover

While the car was serviced only a few months ago, and the electrical system was supposedly checked during that service, I can't see that you have any claim against the dealer. You mention a warranty; perhaps you could read that and determine the provisions of that warranty so see if you could be covered that way.
