problem #2

May 312004

C220 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Wire harness on my car is begining to short out, causing fire hazard, loss of vehicle power. Mercedes is aware of this problem as they admit to using an experimental plastic to insulate these wires which breaks down when the wires get hot. Being in the engine compartment on the engine they naturally get hot. A problem on all of these vehicles which is now showing itself as these wires are breaking down. Mercedes will replace the part at normal cost. Model years 1994, 1995 Mercedes.
