Consumer Description

THE GPS ADAPTER DOES NOT FIT TIGHTLY IN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET. I USE A PAPER PIECE TO MAKE IT TIGHT, HOWEVER IT GETS LOOSE AND GETS GPS DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING. MANY TIMES WHEN I REALIZE THIS EITHER I HAVE GONE TOO FAR OR I HAVE TO MAKE SUDDEN DECISION, WHICH MAKES IT DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH MY GPS ADOPTER, BECAUSE IT FITS WELL IN ANY OTHER CAR. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET OF MB. THIS HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. THIS PERHAPS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MUST BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU. *TR
