NHTSA Complaint #11282279 — 1994 MERCEDES BENZ C280

I JUST BOUGHT THIS W202 94' C280 WITH 150K IN THE SPRING TIME WHICH SURPRISINGLY RAN FINE WITH NO ISSUES, CONSIDERING SOME OF THE LOOM ON THE ELECTRICAL WIRES GOING TO THE CONNECTORS AND SENSORS IS ENTIRELY DISINTEGRATED AND INSULATION IS BREAKING APART LEAVING BARE COPPER WIRES NEAR EACH OTHER OR NEAR METAL BRACKETS. NOW ENTERING THE WINTER TIME WITH INCREASED MOISTURE AND RAIN IT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING THE VEHICLE MORE SUCH AS CAUSING UNWANTED OPERATION OF COMPONENTS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS LIKE THE EGR WHICH IS ONE OF THE AFFECTED COMPONENTS ON THE DEGRADING LOOM, JUST AS THE SAI AND THE ALTERNATOR POWER WIRES. THE SAI NO LONGER WORKS TO WARM UP MY CAR QUICKER AND THEREFORE THERE IS AN INCREASE OF EMISSIONS AT STARTUP. SOMETIMES THE CAR CHARGING SYSTEM FUNCTIONS VERY POORLY TO WHERE THE BATTERY IS NEARLY DISCHARGED AND EVERYTHING BARELY WORKS, OTHER DAYS WORKS FINE. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THE IGNITION COIL AND WIRE CABLES ARE JUST NOW BEING AFFECTED AS WELL TO WHICH AT IDLE I HAVE INTERMITTENT MISFIRES SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT SOMETIMES TO WHERE THE CAR SEEMS IT WANTS TO STALL. I'M CONCERNED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR FREEWAY MERGING SPEEDS MY CAR WILL ENTIRELY FAIL. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.
