The instrument cluster lighting is dimming to the point you have to squint to see the information. This requires focusing on the display for longer than a safe amount of time especially when you are driving.

E320 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,000 miles
The pixels on the instrument cluster of the 2003 Mercedes Benz E320 failed, conveying garbled information or no information at all. I am the second owner that purchased the car in June 2005, and Mercedes Benz refused to repair it under the 3 year warranty, claiming the mileage, 87000, was too high for warranty repair.
