| The insulation on the wiring harness in my 1995 c220 has deteriorated so much that it sparked fire on sections of the harness. i have just learned that mb usa is not owning up to this serious problem. why is the company not providing some means to have owners replace it under a shared cost program? *tr | |||

| 1995 mercedes benz c220 - numerous issues with a car that only has about 80k miles on it. we are the original owners of the vehicle. gave up with using mercedes for service eons ago....after feeling that we were lied to. dealer led us to believe that we were having problems because mice nested in the car and probably ate through the wiring. 3 other service people have thought that they successfully 'fixed' the car... but problem recurs (sometimes within a half hour of leaving repair shop) car will not run unless you keep you foot on the gas continually.... replaced wiring harness couple of years ago....frequent bulb burn outs, srs light is illuminated for first 2 minutes car is on then goes out... various gauges are out....fuses blow....i could go on forever. *jb | |||
