| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: It has come to my attention that mercedes automobiles sold in the united states in 1994 and 1995 were equipped with "biodegradable" engine electric harnesses. the insulation on these, including my car, have deteriorated and become unsafe, causing shorting between wires. my information is that mercedes has refused to consider this a recall issue. replacing the harness costs approximately $1,400. in addition to the cost, this is a real safety issue. my request is that mercedes be contacted and convinced that it is in their best interest to replace these harnesses before it causes some expensive and dangerous fires. *jb |
