“The engine wiring harness has badly deteriorated due to using poor materials. This is a very high occurring problem with this vehicle. It is very dangerous in that it can cause stalling, sudden acceleration, fire and it can also cause very expensive repairs to other vehicle systems. This is a huge problem with these cars and mercedes benz should rectify this problem out of concern for consumer safety, and expense.”
