Example complaints

“The engine wiring harness and ea/cc/isc(part m16/1,electronic accelerator/cruise control/idle speed control) wiring insulation has badly deteriorated on my 1995 E320 cabriolet due to heat fatigue from poor manufacturing. This car has 92000 miles. The decay has reached the point of leaving bare exposed wire within the harness. These wires make contact causing the engine to stall, surge and set misc. Engine codes. It is just a matter of time until...who knows. This is a known problem to owners of these vehicles as evidenced by conversation threads on several well regarded forums. …”
NHTSA complaint #10137157, filed 2005-09, 91,000 miles“The contact stated the cruise control engaged suddenly without warning on two occasions. The cruise control was disengaged after the brakes were applied. The cruise control engaged immediately after the air conditioner was turned on. On another occasion, the vehicle was on a slight incline when the contact felt the accelerator pedal pull away from the floorboard. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed the insulation on the engine wiring harness was deteriorated. The dealership was not informed.”
