1993 Mercedes-Benz 500 Electrical system Problems

“The engine/fuel injection wiring harness of my 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500e (64,000 miles), has cracked insulation throughout and is beginning to short out, with the risk of causing dangerous engine malfunction, and even fire inside my engine compartment. I have read many reports of other Mercedes-Benz cars of the same age range having the exact same issue. This is a know issue with mercedes that they refuse to recall.”

“My mechanic told me on 11/3/2007 that the wire harness on my 1993 mercedes 500 sel could cause fire or death to my family and that mercedes benz u.s.a. Knows about the faults in the wire harness and knows the people are in danger and have yet to do a recall on years (1992 through 1996) please help us get a recall in the wire harness before people get burnt or die these wires just fall apart and then touch each other and that is when the danger starts, this really is a serious and dangerous situation and we are asking for your help. Thank you!”

“Wire harness defect causing short in system smoke inside the vehicle while driving on a county road immediately pulled over cutting other drivers off just to get vehicle in a safe and secured location.”

“Shorting in electrical systems causing failures of ignition and computer systems intermittently. Root cause analysis show that failure of the sheathing and materials of the wiring harnesses cause corruption of electrical circuits and require complete replacement of harnesses due to poor quality materials. Complete replacement of the wiring harnesses was completed in july of 2005.”
