| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1994 e320 had intermintent running problems. car would stall without warning, especially during a rain or after washing the car. replaced many parts(mass air meter, tune up, ovp relay, fuel pump relay, etc) to chase the problem, none of which solved it. began to look on mercedes forums and found this to be a common problem. before i replaced the engine wiring harness it began to smoke heavily from under the hood. i had an extingusiher with me and stopped it from catching fire. mercedes covered part of the cost under their "goodwill" program however i had to install it which took about 8 hours. the first occurance happend around 125k miles however it was many months and miles later that the problem was fixed. |
