What owners say
I have a 1994 e320, im going to sum this up, the harness is junk, my car stalls on the freeway, uses up gas like a running hose, got 6 miles on 12.00 worth of gas, lights flicker, when I cut back the tape it looked like someone put cig tobacco in the wire, then I looked and it was the insulation that had turned to nothing, all wires are rubbing. The fuel inj. Get floods with oil,gas. Its a mess and they want over 1000.00 to get a new one. Recall this harness before people start to die.
My 1994 mercedes-benz e320 cabriolet has a check engine light on. An investigation leads to disintegrated engine wire harness, that is shorting. The vehicle is running rough and stalling. There is a potential for a fire hazard. The car stalled on highway, causing me to loose control and crash into a side pole, damaging the front of the car.
Crumbling fuel injection wiring harness causing stalling, misfiring, exposed wires a fire hazard and a "no spark condition" causing dead cylinders to pour raw fuel into catalytic converter resulting in heavy smoke and an emanate serious fire hazard. This condition destroyed the $1200 catalytic converter leaving the vehicle unable to pass state emissions testing. Mercedes-benz refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem an offers no remedy. Maybe after someone gets hurt or killed , there will be some action.
Engine wiring harness failed due to defective insulation resulting in stalling while passing another vehicle.
