Gasoline Fuel System Problems of Mercedes Benz C Class

I own a c 280 (96) (VIN # wdbha28e5tf315789) car started consuming more gas than normal, was harder to start, started missing and drove sluggish. I replaced the spark plugs and cables. But it got worse, and than quit, as if it was out of time. I send it to an imported car service shop in dalton, GA. They told me that it is a common problem on this Mercedes Benz benz. The wiring harness underhood (insulation on the wring) crumbled to pieces, like dust and shorted relays and all the car. I paid over $2600. 00 to have it repaired. I still have the old harness as evidence that it should be a recall because y could lead to a worse problem, like fire. The mechanic told me that he has repaired several c-280 with the same problem and that Mercedes Benz has been notified and they will not do anything. An expensive car as it is should be built better than this. (the wiring harness itself is worth $1600. 00 or more.

3/03 within 3 months of purchasing my 2002 c-240, the air conditioning stopped working, fuel gauge failed, headlight washer broke, and one of the vents on the dash fell apart. Took in for service and was given another 2002 c-240, and while driving the loaner car in the mountains, it began down shifting itself and there was no power. Car would come to complete stop and then would start moving again. Happened 6 times. Mercedes dealer thought was isolated incident. I felt it was very serious as I was on interstate when it would suddenly stop in traffic. Could have caused a very serious accident. 4/03 air conditioning not working again.

The vehicle would start and then stall, dealer replaced both fuel level sensors, consumer also states that the vehicle does not have the power it used to even when the accelerator is pressed all the way.
