My mechanic told me that the wiring harness under the hood is rotting away.i have a/c problemswith the wires and have had loss of power at the most inconvenient times. I'm starting to have different electrical problems due to this wiring harness and am very nervous of a possible fire as my granddaughter is usually in the car. If this is aproblem other mercedes owners are experiencing, i feel it should be addressed by mercedes.
1992 mercedes 400e with about 140,000 mi. Has a defective wiring harness which has been involved in several hundred complaints already posted and many engine fires. The wires in the harness have no protection against heat and lay right above the engine. The harness contains several wires, all of which show direct metal to metal contact that could easily cause a fire. After calling ed at the mercedes direct help line, he denied any knowledge or responsibility of this obvious engineering defect. All owners of vehicles with this wiring harness should be notified of this dangerous defect. An adequately insulated replacement part is needed.
