Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1995 mercedes wagon e320 has only 42k miles on it but all the wires aka the engine harness are crumbling to the touch. all the wire insulation has deteriorated because of the use of bio-gradable plastic. the dealer wants me to pay $1500 for the engine harness. how can such a major part be so poorly made and unreliable. this is a major safety issue for my family. *jb
