Consumer Description

1993 MERCEDES BENZ 300E THE WIRING ON THE FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM (AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS OF THE HARNESS) WAS REPLACED 5 YEARS AGO AS DEFECTIVE NOW IT IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN. MERCEDES BENZ REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AS THE RISK OF FIRE IS GOOD. MERCEDES APPEARS TO HAVE USED AN INSULATION THAT IS KNOWN FOR DEGRADATION AND REFUSES TO RECALL OR CARE FOR THE ISSUE. *JB
