What 1995 Mercedes Benz S600 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Passenger seat belt will not recoil and is unsafe as a restraint system. Stays loose around passenger. Insulation on wiring harness in engine compartment is breaking down and shorting out causing multiple safety problems while operation the vehicle.
When driving throttle was somewhat erratic while driving (dealer I purchased from said this would be rectified when I was ready to purchase) when idling , smoke emanated from the hood openings of car and asr light illuminated on dashboard. Electrical burning of wires/ occurred upon further inspection after car was powered down. Burnt pieces of wiring harness insulation were strewn underneath the car, upon the smell of the remnants confirmed the burning of the insulation and wires. Next time I have driven the car (138620 mi) asr light came on, and caused the vehicle to stall when idled. After well over several attempts to restart the car, it finally turns over, the asr light is still lit, and vehicle only reacts to the throttle nearly planted all the way down to keep in motion, and vehicle accelerates very slowly. At 139930 mi, large oil leak occurred at rear of vehicle, possibly identifying differential leak. Purchased at 138356 miles -have not even own the car for a month. Contacted dealer as of yet, will contact in a day to address the problem.
Vehicle had some type of short effecting its running smoothly, when taken for repair, (mercedes/exoctic car repair shop), I was told and shown the cracked wiring harness, it didn't seem as if there was any wire or part of the wiring that ran longer then a inch beofre running into a major crack to and exposing the wire, (broken plastic cover which surrounds and protects the wire). It was replaced (a discontinue item), and other electrical units damaged by this deffective part. I was informed by the owner of the repair shop I was lucky that this did not cause a fire, repaired at a cost of thousands of dollars. Can and will have a recipe for this repair.
