Consumer Description

MERCEDES-BENZ ENGINE WIRING HARNESS DEFECT ENCLOSED, PLEASE FIND A LIST OF REPORTED COMPLAINTS THAT I FOUND ON YOUR VERY OWN NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) WEBSITE CONCERNING THE CHRONIC ENGINE COMPARTMENT WIRING HARNESS FAILURE SUFFERED BY (AT THE LEAST) 1992 THROUGH 1995 MERCEDES BENZ AUTOMOBILES. THIS LIST IS NOT, BY ANY MEANS, MEANT TO BE COMPLETE, AS IT ONLY LISTS THOSE REPORTS THAT I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE. NOTE THAT THE FIRST COMPLAINT ON THE LIST IS MINE. I AM OUTRAGED AT MERCEDES-BENZ' ARROGANT REFUSAL TO OWN UP TO, AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DESIGN AND ENGINEERING DEFECT. FOR THE LIFE OF ME (LITERALLY), I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NHTSA HAS NOT INVESTIGATED THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH LESS THAN MERCEDES' IMMEDIATE RECTIFICATION. I WAS ASKED BY MERCEDES BENZ DEALER OVER $4,000 TO FIX PROBLEM. *TR
