There was a message that the brakes needed attention. I could feel something inside the brakes. I took it and they replaced my brakes, but the issue kept happening. Then one day, while going 55 miles an hour, the brakes would not fully operate. The whole dash went red and it came to a slow stop. Luckily no one was immediately in front of me. We called the dealership and they said they had a 10 year recall of the sbc unit but I don't see the recall anywhere. This is a serious issue!.

Slowing down for light and car tries to stall. After getting it home and in the garage, noticed strong gas smell. Took to shop and guy said gas leak from top of tank. Read about lots of complaints about this issue with other people with E320's.

Recently bought car. Wiring harness had already been replaced, but computer has not acted correctly since the wiring shorted out due to faulty insulation. Throwing faults and no idle. Surges forward or backwards on its own. While backing it out of garage, it surged backwards so fast the brakes would not hold. Hit tractor parked in driveway before getting it stopped. Broke rear bumper cover. I have older vehicles (1974 chevy) (1990 chevy pickup) with absolutely no wiring problems. Now I have a really nice 1994 E320 that is junk because I can't afford the $12 - $1500 to repair it. I can not drive it until I can have it repaired. Good thing I wasn't in traffic behind a cop when it decided to surge forward on it's own, or I would be writing this from inside a jail cell.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Mercedes Benz E320. The contact stated while driving 60 mph the vehicle began to accelerate independently. The contact removed the mat in an attempt to stop the vehicle. The contact applied extensive pressure to the brakes but the vehicle continued on. The vehicle continued to accelerate. She pulled into a parking lot and and placed the vehicle in the park position and immediately exited the vehicle. The engine continued to run and so she removed the keys but the vehicle continued to run. The vehicle was eventually towed to a dealer and she was awaiting diagnosis. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 149,000. Dt.

Due to the defective wiring harness known to exist on many Mercedes Benz vehicles made from 1990 on, I have the excessive expense of repairing and replacing expensive parts (the engine wiring harness) in this vehicle that failed prematurely due to faulty wiring insulation. The wiring insulation is inefficient and was corrected on later models, but considering that it is a poor design on mercedes part, I believe that the consumer should not be held responsible for the wiring issue. These cars do justify their price if maintained properly, and my vehicle is older and aside from the wiring harness, is in good running order; yet me, as a customer who pays the price to maintain my vehicle, I do not feel that it is justified that mercedes originally included in the vehicle price the cost of a supposed quality wiring harness, yet when it fails due to a design flaw, the consumer pays the price to have it replaced with what should have originally been installed. It is understandable that in the recent rough economy that an auto manufacturer would not want to take responsibility for a major design flaw that could result in millions lost, and attempt to maximize profits on the flaw by charging customers for the updated harness, but I feel that it is a major safety hazard in the affected vehicles and should be sorted out for drivers of all vehicles with the faulty harness free of charge on a safety basis, if it has jeopardized the life of the driver, then it should be replaced free of charge (surely that is the least that could be done). My car had a short today in the wiring harness and it caused unintended surge of acceleration when I pulled up to a curb and the car jumped over the curb and broke off a big plastic piece of the bumper. I ask myself what would have happened if I was at a busy intersection and this happened?.

Driver's side carpet design poor and dangerous. . . . Keeps getting stuck under gas pedal creating car to not be able to accelerate properly. No way to keep carpets in place.

: the contact stated while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle would not accelerate. This happened intermittently therefore the vehicle was moved off the road where it was turned off and restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who could not duplicate the problem. The first time the incident happened, the dealer stated they replaced a valve. Updated 07/07/06.

Contact stated when stepping on the accelerator pedal the vehicle will not accelerate. This caused a safety concern because while merging into traffic the vehicle failed to accelerate. This only occurred when the vehicle is stopped or was close to stopping. The majority of the time it happened when the vehicle was started up. There was no indication as to when this will occur. It happened approximately 30 times. The service dealer attempted to repair the vehicle once, but because it happened periodically they could not duplicate the problem. The manufacturer refused to service the vehicle. Consumer felt the problem with the vehicle could be the drive- by -wire or computer system. The right rear brake locked up while the consumer was making a right turn. This occurred after the brake had been reprogrammed. On cold morning the gps did not work properly. The leather on the driver's side air bag was peeling. The tire pressure monitoring system had to be reprogrammed. The front wheel bearing had play in it. The rear alignment was off slightly which caused the vehicle to shimmy while driving above 62 mph. On August 22, 2005 while driving a loaner Mercedes Benz e350 from the dealer the consumer experienced the same intermittent hesitation on acceleration as he had with his own 2004 e350. The consumer believes this hesitation problem is not isolated to vehicle.

The vehicle experienced sudden deceleration at 55 mph for a total of 4 times. Taken in for checkup, but results show that the cause is undetermined.
