| The whole engine wiring harness that runs all over my engine is defective. the insulation around the wiring literally fell apart, as everyone else on here described as breaking into brittle pieces and disintegrating. the car shut off completely in the middle of the highway. a service advisor at a local dealership knows about it and says they won't fix it because the government hasn't ordered them to recall it and went on to give me a quote for nearly $2,000. now my car is stuck in a shop with all the bare wires showing and the decayed insulation in pieces all over the floor. i don't know what to do. i did a lot of research and apparently it is a defect in every 1995 e320 manufactured in the us. a lot of people say it also affects 1993-1994, as well as other models with the same engine. i'm the original owner, bought the car new from the dealership in 1995. it only has 57,533 miles on it and has always been garage kept. | |||
