| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1995 mercedes benz e320 wagon. i have owned the car for several months and decided to change the oil. while reaching into the engine complartment, i felt an electrical shock from a wire bundle near the oil filter. i looked and saw bare wires exposed where the insulation was missing. i have since found out many other owners of same vehicle have experienced similar issues with the wiring harness. this seems to me to be a very dangerous and very common defect with certain model years. the repair is very costly. why is there not a recall on this very common and hazardous issue? it is an obvious design flaw.*ak |
