Door Latch Problem... Dealer trip

Finally snapped the inside door handle trying to get my door to shut.. had to bring it in to the dealer.. they repaired the faulty latch and ordered the part that I snapped.. While it was there, they upgraded my transmission software to 2.0.. shifts a lot better now.. a new owners manual was also part of the deal... they also replace a placard with a new and improved one... hope my door part comes in soon, kind of a pain opening the door through the window...OH Yeah... they reset my flashing wrench too...

I got my little Smart "used" with 2000 miles. I took it the next day to Mercedes, who did the 2.0 upgrade, inspected the VIN plate, and gave me a new manual.

The horn wasn't (and still isn't) working, so they ordered some new computer/electronic part. This part controls the horn, the automatic door locks on the passenger side, and heaven knows what else. I just really want a horn please!!

The car also came with only one key, so I ordered a new one..... $250!!! OUCH!!
