Ten problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 2005 Mercedes Benz E320. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Battery light came on so it was charged then reconnected, everything good, turn key to on position everything good, turn key to start and bang! loud bang and white smoke everywhere, engine continued to smoke for several minutes after explosion, hole in front of engine.
There is a high level of rf being emitted inside the cabin of the car. The level is so high it pushes pulsed rf waves against an aluminum emergency blanket that was set up to identify which direction it was coming from. This method showed it is coming from multiple direction within the cabin. This is with the engine off and windows rolled up. Also lf l leave the car and come back within less than a minute the climate inside will knock me out, or make me very sleepy. I have to immediately get out of the car and walk 50 to 70 feet away from it to stop this from happening if l catch it in time. Most of the time l do not and someone is using this defect to steal items from the car, destroy the interior ad along with a host of illegal activity while l am passed out inside. Because this dangerous activity happens 90 percent of the time the rf may be remotely controlled. Also l have almost been knocked out while driving on several different occasions. Thanks to jesus christ l was able to pull the car over and recover. In addition the rf will isolate and freeze different body parts individually similar to the therapeutic procedure of cool sculpting. Multiple police reports have been made and the dealership notified. The car marker was notified by phone but refuse to help.
The car is being hacked into by multiple individuals across triple cities. The hackers are able to lock and unlock the doors, shift gears, turn on the check engine light, control the radio and cd player, open the hood to steal oil and control the complete functionality of the car. Including turning on the cabin lights, blacking out the odometer along with the fuel gauge, and shutting the car off when desired this includes in the middle of the street. Because they can unlock the doors and roll down the windows they have access to the hood and gas door. This allowed them to break the radiator, damage the catalytic converter, and steal gas. Also since the hackers have access they have destroyed the drivers seat, crack the wood on the steering wheel and door trim, removed the right and left front doors, and destroyed the center arm rest. The rf field is controlled by them, and loud cracking sounds are remotely introduced when the car is stationary and key removed. The tele- aid is also activities remotely on occasion as well. The fbi has been notified numerous times to no avail along with the car maker who told me not to contact them again. Three dealerships checked out the car and none knew how to deal with the issue. Mercedes benz in germany was notified by emai and said mercedes USA has my information I'm their legal department. This was over 2 years ago with no contact from them regarding this issue. All attempts to reach them by phone via customer service has failed. Multiple police reports have been made with several police departments.
The contact owns a 2005 mercedes-benz E320. The brakes failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed and the battery warning indicator flashed on the instrument panel. The manufacturer indicated that the statute to receive an extended service campaign expired; therefore, they refused to repair the vehicle. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 05v133000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel system had failed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated that the fuel injection and fuel gauge needed to be replaced. In addition, the contact stated that after only driving one block the speedometer would display one mile. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

My brake has metal grinding noise and no dash board warning light showing problems. It has some dragging when brakes.
Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Mercedes Benz E320. The contact stated that the fuel gage and the speedometer gage was not working and provided inaccurate readings from the instrument panel. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 08v303000 (electrical system) so the dealer did not recode the scn but rather emptied the fuel tank and replaced the fuel and the fuel lever sensor. The repairs from the dealer did not fix the vehicle as the failure continued to recurr intermittently. The contact was also not included in NHTSA action number: ea13003 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact reported the safety concern with the air bag sensor and was also not included in 10017 (air bags and electrical system). The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer more than twice and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000. Dyd.
I recently purchased a new mercedes with a gps. In my opinion, the device is a serious safety hazard and will cause countless accidents in its present state. For example, when I was at the zoo on conn. Ave. In d. C. And programmed the device to get to reagan national, it insisted on taking conn. Ave. Downtown and cutting across to 14th st. I elected to take rock creek parkway to the memorial bridge and then down rt. 110. Within a quarter of a mile after entering rock creek, the device was telling me to make a left. Absent an atv, this illegal turn could not be performed. Additionally, where it wanted me to go was an on-ramp (with a do not enter sign) for traffic traveling in the opposite direction. A little later it suggested a right turn into a steep embankment. Finally, as I was passing the kennedy center it suggested a left turn into it. Only when I reached the memorial bridge did it decide to recalculate the route. The problem, as I see it, is that a fair percentage of drivers will blindly follow the verbal instructions with serious consequences. Incidentally, talking with the salesman about this problem, he told me that they all ready had a woman drive into a lake. My verbalization of this problem is totally inadequate therefore I invite one or more of your staffers in d. C. For a test ride.
Brakes grind when put in drive, park and at stop lights. Seat belt indicator had to be fixed after 5 times at the shop, brakes were identified with a problem by mbz after 6 visits to the shop (fletcher jones mbz las vegas), tech stated on the invoice he identified the problem and ordered the parts. When I took the car back in to get the parts, the service manager stated there was a mistake and there was nothing wrong with the brakes and mbz would not fix the problem. Currently none of the seat belts work (when slamming on the brakes they do not lock). Control panel reads "srs malfunction drive to shop", "airbags off", "check engine". Fletcher jones mbz las vegas refuses to comply with the lemon law, repair for one malfunction more than 3 times, out of service (in the shop) for more than 30 days in one calendar year.
Electrical problems out of service 18 days, srs/airbag failures out of service 18 days, ac/defrost blower motor failures out of service 12 days, brakes out of service 9 days, transmission (idle surge/up shifting/stalling) out of service 10 days, front end/tires out of service 10 days. During the lemon law final repair attempt, the dealer wrote on work order that they had installed new brakes because they found "after market brakes" on car. The only place the car has ever been serviced was the dealership where we purchased it. We asked the service advisor and assistant service manager (first they said the brakes were thrown out and then they said the parts were shipped to mb) and wrote two certified letters to Mercedes Benz for the removed parts so we could track the serial numbers. We were ignored. The regional representative who initiated the "brake replacement" was conveniently "promoted out of the area" just before the lemon law hearing so he could not be questioned. We had been complaining about the brakes, especially the stopping distance, from the beginning and they kept saying no problem found. The dealer would not document it on the work orders.
