Consumer Description

I OWN A 1993 MERCEDES 300E THAT FOR THE SECOND TIME HAS HAD ENGINE WIRING HARNESS FAILURE. I FIND THIS TO BE A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM WITH INSULATION FROM THE WIRE BECOMING BRITTLE AND FALLING OFF. I OF AT LEAST THREE OTHER MERCEDES OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO HAPPEN. *JB
