| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The engine electrical harness on 1995 e320 mercedes are flawed beyond belief. the entire harness bundle which includes high voltage lines for ignition coils and the fuel injection system has a severe fire problem due to the fact that the wire insulation is inferior in material quality. the insulation along these wire is cracking at a rate of every 1/4 inch, througout the entire harness. high voltage copper wire are making contact, these wire run on top of the fuel control system. all austin based mercedes shops inform me that this is a common problem with this year and model, but mercedes will not admit to it. this problem is as dangerous as any facing the current board and to have mercedes benz act like it is not a problem is just a bunch of fuey. please send an investigator to look at this wiring harness and i will assure you that this will be a recall event once you see what is happening to these harness's. thanks.*ak |
