general problems of the 2007 Mercedes Benz E350

Vehicle headlight burned out while driving at night time reduced visibility. Upon inspection found the headlight wires insulation located behind the passenger's light bulb connector melted/burnt causing short circuit. Temporary fixing it with an electrical tape.

I have 2007 E350 class 4-matic sport package, the panoramic sunroof does not open and when I push bottom to open the motor sound like is grinding the car has only 75000 miles on it and the dealer does not warranty it. The cost to have repaired at mercede dealership is $1500.

My car was running suddenly stop and does not start, I take it to mercedes dealer and they charge me $195. 00 plus tax to scanned it they found the ecm engine control module need to be replace. Cost is $2,300 plus tax. Please contact me for at your convenience so I can take further steps towards Mercedes Benz.

The contact owns a 2007 mercedes-benz E350. While driving various speeds, the battery warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the power steering became difficult to maneuver and the vehicle stalled. Also, the check engine warning indicator remained illuminated. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to mercedes-benz of west chester (located at 1260 wilmington pike, west chester, PA 19382, (484) 313-1100) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The fuel pump was replaced; however, the failure recurred twice. Additionally, the fuel pump filer, water pump, tensioner pulley, and serpentine belt (which was replaced nine times) were replaced, but the failure recurred. The contact was also informed that there was an electronic failure for which the mechanic was unable to repair. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge and coolant system were inoperable, and there was a failure with the water pump. The manufacturer was informed of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 129,000.

The engine stalled while in motion and driving over 45 mph. This is the 2nd time this has occurred. Both times I was travelling over 45 mph on a large and busy city street and had difficulty steering my car to safety. There are no codes to explain what might be the cause. Replaced the transmission control unit the first time. After removing the key, putting the car in park and waiting for 5-10 minutes, in both occurrences I was able to restart the vehicle and drive to the dealership, which was less than 5 miles from my location.

Suddently the vehicle trunk does not open, tried both remote key & door trunk latch. Got a message on panel regarding 3rd brake light. . Unable to get the wheelchair from trunk but drove car around the block and was then able to open it using my key remote. Then a few minutes later again was not able to open the trunk, but now the panel read licence plate right and left light lamps not working. . . Night driving is an issue now. . . Ca laws require lic plate be lit and visible at all times. I went online and noticed all the buzz and complaints reporting this same issue regarding brown wire being severed on many makes, models and years on mer benz vehicles. I e-mailed mb customer service to ask about a recall and they do not have one to my surprise. Got a call today from arash @ (201) 476-6200 stating there is nothing mb can do since my warranty has expired. . . I advised him I have under 50k miles on this car, he said that I would need to get a dioganistic test costing me over $100 in order to find out what the problem is plus according to internet comments this is a $250 or more repair cost. I explained my internet findings and he again apologized, said there is nothing he can do for me. I explained my concerns and feel that mb should step up and take responsibility in good faith and good customer service and fix this issue at their expense, obviously it is an electrical issue mal-function and they are responsible for fixing the problem and should not put this burden and expense on their customer's. Frustrated mb customer.

Appoximate 7 or 8 minutes after cutting on drivers seat heater. I smell something burning. Stopped vehicle when I notice smoke, cut the car off. The left side of seat back was smoldering. Hole burnt through size of dime. Also burned hole in my leather jacket I was wearing.

I was using the warming seats and had pulled up to the post office to drop a letter in the box. The letter had fallen to the ground. I got out and placed the letter in the box. I got back in the car and pulled up to keep from holding up traffic while I had replaced my seat belt. A SUV had crossed my path when I smelled something burning. I assumed it was exhaust from the SUV. I was about to pull off the parking lot when I noticed thick white smoking coming from my seat. I immediately turned off the seat warmer. The smoke dissipated afterwards. I continued to drive the car about 1/2mile to the grocery store. I got out and noticed a burn on seat.

My wife was driving when she smelled something burning and then felt something burning, she pulled over and jumped out to check and found the seat warmer had malfunctioned and burned through the back portion of the seat. Her shirt had a slight burn to it and smoke covered interior of the car. The hole in the seat is about the size of a cigarette burn but deeper. She took it to the import repair shop who disconnected the power source wire to the seat heater for safety.

Turned drivers seat heat feature on, after a few minutes I smelled burning. Mercedes just repaired a/c (3 visits) so turned off the a/c. Next think I know smoke is coming from drivers seat, my 3yr old riding in her car seat "installed" behind me. Heater in drivers seat was burning, with the air no longer blowing, smoke was now visible. I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic to pull over. The "fire" burned a hole through the leather seat to my jeans leaving me a slight burn. Car towed to mercedes.
