| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Safety: the wiring harness on my mercedes benz s350 (140 chassis series) has deterioated badly that it causes a severe safety hazard. the car is dangerous. the srs system does not function properly. the srs system will not activate in the 8-10 seconds required. it takes as much as 5-10 minutes before the srs light goes out to signal that the system is working. however, with this malfunction there is no way to know if the srs is working at all leaving one to wonder if the system will actually work, if necessary. the wires inside the harness are so deterioated that each wire has hundreds of complete fractures and separations. the electronics are haywire and none of the electric powered instruments and gauges can be relied upon for accurate information. this presents a fire hazard risk as well. the headlight system blinks. at inopportune times. lights blow for no discernable reason. i have owned this car for one week and i have experienced all of this. m *la |
