I own a 1995 Mercedes Benz E320 station wagon that has 76,000 miles on it as of 2/6/03. During a 75,000 mile service, the dealer discovered that the engine compartment wiring harness was decomposing and needed to be replaced. Shortly afterward the "check engine " trouble light began to come on repeatedly. The entire engine wiring harness had to be replaced. The dealers service technician made a comment on my paperwork that the harness had frayed through in one area and was shorting out in a valve cover. This type of defective product constitutes a class 1 safety issue. Via the internet, I discovered that many other owners of this type car from 1994 to 1996 have experienced similar decomposing wiring harnesses. This situation should be addressed by a general recall and Mercedes Benz of North America should replace the defective wiring harnesses.
Manufacturer's recall 950223/ NHTSA recall 95V031000; driver's side seat is locked in one position, seat cannot be adjusted. Consumer has contacted dealer on a number of occasions. Dealer has replaced parts, problem has reoccurred.
