The torque converter is wear and tear on a Mercedes, it's just a wet clutch system after all, and I guess the SBC pump failed too in terms of brake booster? and they have a life span of 200k activations iirc, yes it probably wasn't the best idea by Mercedes, but still it's just wear and tear again, the coolant pump is a bit of a grey area too as you'd not expect an item like that to last forever, so your only left with a heated seat failure which isn't too bad although not great, just mentioned as you said they failed as really they just wore out.
