MERCEDES BENZ E320 1997 car safety problem was reported on Jan 20, 2006.MERCEDES BENZ E320 1997, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING . shortly after purchasing my 1997 e320 in 2003 i took the car in to report an odd acceleration and deceleration while driving in cruise control. dealer at newport beach ca told me that cruise control is not designed to drive in hills, all of oc is full of hills. they did nothing to repair problem, although car was still under warranty. in addition i reported the automatic control opener to not work in temp above 80 degrees. i'm not sure if the problem is related. in 2005 the sensor notice came on to report electronic problem. i took it to the mb in austin texas. the service rep told me it would cost $400 to fix. since we were on an extremely tight budget i asked him if it went un-repaired if i was worsening a problem or endangering my self or my family if i contiued to drive it that way. he said it would be ok to drive. now a few months later around january (cold weather) the car started to idle into vibrations and a strong gas scent fills the car. not trusting the mb i took my car to firestone, they told me it needed a serious tune up...which surprised me because i did one less than a year ago...i'm not sure who to trust and now i'm very worried about the harness wiring and the susceptibility to spontaneous fires. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 99000 miles.

MERCEDES BENZ E320 1997 car safety problem was reported on July 17, 2013.MERCEDES BENZ E320 1997, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with SUSPENSION . one day i noticed that the front left tire seemed to be low. after several attempts of filling the tire, one day i decided to further investigate what is the cause of this issue (tire was fine). i quickly came to realize that my lower control arm was not only cracked but also bent out of shape. additionally i found that the upper housing of the coil (spring) was literally peeling off the body of the vehicle thus causing the added pressure to the lower control arm where the spring sits. i went to a local body shop and got a quote from the tech there. it cost me just over $1,100 to fix it with a welded plate onto the side of the wheel well (to reinforce the housing of the coil (spring) plus changing the lower control arm. i did not dare take this vehicle to a mb dealer for repairs. they were quoting me $5100 to fix the issue (well more then what the car is worth). it's a shame to know this many people have made complaints but yet this issue has not been turned into a recall. based on what i've read, i'm stunned at how many incidents have occurred and not 1 person has been injured or worse killed! those coils(springs) are under a lot of pressure and having one this thing flying around is not a joke! sad to say but soon enough someone will get hurt and then maybe this will turn into a recall. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 224000 miles.
