Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When i had my 60,000 mile service i was told the the wiring harness was defective and needed to be replaced to the tune of about 1500.00 dollars. mercedes would not pay any part of this repair even thought the dealer indicated that it was a obvious design problem in the wiring harness of the e320 series and had been fixed in later models. my problem was that the harness wires leading to the spark plugs has hardened and the insulation has flaked off of the wires. god only knows where the harness has hardened elsewhere and what potential problems could occur when the vehicle is being driven. i think that since it has been omitted as a defect and is now causing safety and reliability problems that the manufacture should step up and repair the problems. *ak |
