My 1995 mercedes s320 has been stalling and misfiring and sometimes doesn't start up. I took it for tune up, but the mechanic said he cant do anything because the fault wiring harness insulation from factory is peeling off and making the wires short-circuit and if he tries to do anything it will make it worse,I have talked to several mercedes owners with earlier and mid 90s who have same problem and I think this is a potential fire hazard and you should petition the manufacturer on our behalf.

Experiencing multiple check engine faults in my 1995 mercedes benz s600. Surging engine, intermittent rough idle. Inspection of wiring harness controlling engine shows degrading wiring insulation. Many cracks in insulation are causing short circuits which can cause engine stalling, surging, and is a fire hazard. This will require the wiring harness to be replaced. The work has not yet been performed.

While driving 40 MPH, vehicle suddenly accelerated up to 70 MPH. Consumer applied brakes, but it did not slow vehicle. Vehicle went through a red light, engine roaring and rpms in red. Consumer steered to side of road and applied park brake, pulled key from ignition and jumped out of vehicle. Engine continued to roar for 2-3 minutes then stalled, black smoke from the exhaust. 6 weeks prior to this dealer did $ 7200.00 of engine work. Dealer determined the acceleration was caused by a jammed fuel injector pump.*ak
