Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Wiring harness on a 1996 mercedes c220 with 74,000 miles intermittently failing, and causing car to stall on freeway and surface streets. this is putting me and my family in danger, as well as other drivers. mercedes does not recognize this as a problem, there are numerous websites dedicated to this issue, hundreds of cases, and no response. this part which should outlast the car, is failing on cars with less than 100,000. i am afraid to drive my car! i don't know if it is going to completely stop in the middle of the freeway... and get me into an accident. *la
