Mercedes Benz 600 1994 Electrical System Wiring Front Underhood Review #10179001

MERCEDES BENZ 600 1994 car safety problem was reported on Jan 09, 2007.MERCEDES BENZ 600 1994, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD . vehicle has had various anomalies occurring over several months involving engine sputtering and abundant smoke from engine. numerous service attempts did not resolve problem as all clues were intermittent. warning lights on dash for "check engine" "srs" "asr" and others would appear certain times upon ignition, while others appear next time. finally, the vehicle would only start but not maintain idle independent of applying accelerator, and then only travel at a max speed of 20 mph at 3000 rpm. mechanic determined that deteriorated engine harness exposing hv wires had damaged the left and right throttle control and the efp control unit. the tight grouped volume of wires were decayed, checked, or powderized throughout its entirety, and coupled with now shorted-out damaged components, caused the smoking and sputtering... a recipe for fire. and fire is exactly what's occurred to the many others experiencing this same sort of decayed wiring harness problem that i've only now learned from your website and other internet sources has been prevalent and known for years. consequently, the list price for this new harness and the three components exceed $13,000.00, while from their modest appearance, their cost to construct are likely only several hundred dollars. first and foremost, these harnesses should all be recalled to ensure that no fires occur. moreover, mercedes has already recovered there "r&d" costs when the vehicle was first sold, and in no way should benefit from the defective harness by being allowed to profit from sales of other components needing replacement that the harness subsequently fouled. currently, i am at a standstill as the unfair list pricing for these four parts that could fit into a lunch pail, exceed the value of the vehicle as a whole. i am writing to request that this issue be officially investigated so that i, and the many others in my position, can be properly remedied. thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter. *jb.Mercedes Benz 600 1994 problem was reported in WATERFORD, MI.

MERCEDES BENZ 600 1994 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2009.MERCEDES BENZ 600 1994, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the vehicle unexpectedly developed sudden acceleration when switching from park to reverse or any other gear. the first time it occurred, it almost ran over my child who was playing nearby and i was trying to back up the car out of the garage for a wash. one moment the vehicle runs fine, the next it suddenly and unexpectedly accelerates to a high rpm, even burning tires in the process.after troubleshooting, it was discovered that the throttle actuator ("electronic throttle actuator" "throttle body") wiring harness had multiple short circuits as a result of the well known mercedes wiring harness defect (which affects the main engine wire harness, another source of danger and cause of many accidents). the wires' insulation of the internal wires prematurely disintegrated and turned to dust. this caused multiple shorts and the unexpected behavior. please note that this is a 400hp vehicle and as a result of this defect it turned literally into a killing machine. the vehicle has under 50,000 miles since new and cost $140,000 it has never been parked outside and was, up to now, considered a showpiece and maintained with the utmost care. mercedes benz was contacted and refused to honor any repairs. there are several thousand complaints about this defect yet the nhtsa has done nothing about investigating mercedes benz. it is estimated that over 100 lives have been lost worldwide and mercedes has quietly settled the most notorious accidents. this is well known to mercedes benz and the internet is replete with evidence. over two million vehicles are affected. i contacted bosch engineering, the contract manufacturers of the parts and spoke with an engineer. bosch is fully aware of the defect and they basically claim that these unsuitable, low-quality wires were specifically requested by mercedes-benz in their design. this is a $3+ billion engineering problem that mercedes has refused to address and the nhtsa, presumably as a result of political pressure has not investigated. *tr.Mileage was 49000 miles.
