What owners wrote
While traveling approximately 30 MPH smoke started coming out from underneath hood of vehicle. Dealership examined vehicle, and determined there was a power surge in electrical system that caused a fire to start.
Wiring harness on my 1995 mercedes e320 has deteriorated and needs replacement at my expense as per mercedes dealer. The car stalls and is a safety and fire hazard. Onboard diagnostics are rendered useless. It is an obvious materials or manufacturing defect. Problem is well known by mechanics, but denied by dealer service manager.
