Consumer Description

I OWN A 1995 C280 SEDAN WITH JUST OVER 55,000 MILES. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AND WAS BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE WIRING HARNESS FAILURE DESCRIBED IN MANY CASES. IT STARTED AFTER REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS AND CONTINUED TO GET WORSE EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THE SPARK PLUG WIRES AND CONNECTORS. THE CAR BACK FIRED AND STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AS IF ONE OR MORE PLUGS WERE MISFIRING. USUALLY AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING THE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL START A FIRE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LOSS OF POWER AND/OR CONTROL. *AK
