Battery Problems of Mercedes Benz ML350

My m-350 had no power. The harness cable (163-540-28-32) located behind and against the battery had completely been destroyed by the battery acid environment. The cable supplies the operational power to the electrical functions of the auto. If I had been driving when this complete failure occurred I could have been killed or could have killed someone else. All systems in the car were totally non-functional. No shielding or prevention of damage to the cable was engineered into the factory installation of this cable. The battery was the original installation and no maintenance activity had occurred in that area of the car since it was manufactured. I have several photo of the cable that shows this condition. I was charged $2,483. 65 by jackie cooper imports of tulsa, llc ( the tulsa mercedes-benz dealer) to replace the cable. I also was charged approximately $125. 00 for the towing of the car (SUV) to the dealer for these repairs. For a world class safety award winner car, to be engineered with the electrical harness cable next to a battery without protection from acid fumes is totally unprofessional. I'm work in the aerospace industry and we would never allow this installation to be approved. Please respond to this request so I can forward the photos and copies of the repair orders. I would recommend that a recall notice be implemented on this vehicle to avoid potential deaths, injuries, and loss of property to the public.

While driving my 2007 Mercedes Benz Ml350, the car started to shut down, meaning all controls locked up and smoke started coming out from under the passengers seat. My children & I exited the car immediately and the car went up in flames - totally engulfed.
