What 1994 Mercedes Benz E420 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The vehicle started idling very rapidly (better than 1600 RPM) and I lost control on the icy roads. I was unable to compensate for the fast idle with the brakes without dragging the front tires. Upon investigation I found that this vehicle has the same faulty, deteriorating wiring problem that tens of hundreds of people have already reported to this site. Exactly how many complaints are necessary before you take action against this manufacturer? I have been in the electrical trades all of my life and I have never seen such defective, deteriorated wiring as under the hood of this mercedes. The mercedes is unsafe to drive and a fire hazard.
