Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There seems to be a problem that mercedes is well aware of with the engine wiring harness. The insulation was poorly done, which causes the wiring to breakdown. This is a very expensive fix for the consumer. Safety is the issue here when this causes the car to fail to accelerate.”
