What owners wrote
I talked to several machanics and to dealer they told me that it is a common problem in this vehicle I am very suprised that it has never been recalled. It also causes the car to stall during take off and on the road while driving at highway speeds it will stall.something must be done before persons are killed or injured. Ts
Mercedes 1993 300e wire harness engine wiring harness.(300e mercedes) cracked and brittle. Made with very poor materialsmade. This is a known problem with this year and make of mercedes. If you own one of these cars it is well known you will need to replace your harness. Mercedes knows of this problem and does nothing to help. I have a problem when my car will not pass smog until I replace mine. I think mercedes should a the least replace the part at no charge.
