| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The car frequently has very erratic idle to the engine. it dies while warming up and dies while driving on the road regardless local or freeway. today, (again!!!) while i was driving on the freeway, the engine lost its power and almost got kill over other cars. i was told by mechanics that i need to replace the engine wiring harness in my 1995 mercedes c220 with 107k mi due to faulty manufacture wire insulation which cracks and opens up during hot engine heat. it also causes the cylinder misfired disable the gauges on the dashboard (caused frequent bulbs burnt). i never heard or experienced the problem with other vehicles that i drove in my life. when i looked into the matter on the web, sure enough it's a common problem for 1994 and 1995 mercedes c220. i am very angry and surprised that it has never been recalled by mercedes usa. i am also surprised that fact that no one came forward to form a class-action law suit against the company. this is purely a moral issue that hurts hundreds and thousands own and driving the defective car on the road everyday. now i know that real reason behind offering 24/7 free road side assistance to its owners. simply they are not sure what they put on their production line. *tr |
