Mercedes Benz knows about these faulty wiring harnesses and refuses to own up to their faults. These faults place the owner and others at risk as they can cause shorts, a poor running car with shorting issues, or even cause a fire. I would be happy if Mercedes would just give us a new wiring harness, I would install it myself and they would not have lost anything.
