Consumer Description

I WAS GETTING THE CAR DYEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND AT STOP LIGHTS AND SMOKE OUT FROM UNDER MY HOOD, THEN TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME OF A PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES WIRING FROM 91-96. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT MERCEDES WILL NOT FESS UP TO!!! THE HARNESS COST ME OVER $600.00!!!!! FOR WHAT THEY PROBABLY PAID 10.00 TO HAVE MADE FOR THEM. WHERE IS MY GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT ME AND OTHERS FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE IT GETS LOOKED AT SERIOUSLY? GO TO ANY MERCEDES FORUM AND THERE WILL BE PAGES UPON PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM?????!!!!!!!! *TR
