Electrical System Problems of Mercedes Benz SLK350

The emergency brake line caught fire underneath the arm rest compartment. Traced the line back to rear tires and nothing electrical could be seen touching brake cable line. So no obvious reason why cable would ignite. I was parked in car port stall after a short trip to a friends house.

Electric steering wheel locks, when you go back to the car all the electrical system is not working the car is dead as dead, if you happen to be in a bad neighborhood your life is in danger, the car must be towed to the mercedes dealer, practically what happen to so many car owner I know is that eis / esl the eis module where you insert key to start and the esl steering lock assembly locate at the bottom of the column that fails. The cost of repair ($1700. ) as nothing to do with the risk you take to be stranded anywhere with no prior diagnostic flag. Mercedes steering locks is not an inconvenience , but a safety concerns or hardship that this issue presents. This is happen for the model 08+ as my self an electrical engineer and inspect this esl unit the decline of workmanship in the assembly by pressuring two parts to establish an electric contact to the motor that release on/off the steering column is asinine & stupid, and should be recalled and corrected.

While driving vehicle power can be lost & vehicle can be stuck in 1st gear or no gear at all causing blockage to traffic and possibly causing an accident. Once you turn car off it appears the car resets itself as if nothing ever happen. When reported to dealership it was stated no codes pop up so I must be hitting the shift. Not knowing any better & not being a mechanic, who am I to continue to question the mercedes dealership? no code no action. (1st reported with 8446 mileage never showed a code). At 63,000 miles the engine light finally comes on indicating a problem. 63038 found code in system for speed sensor not reading correctly. Test drove car & stuck in limp home. The odd thing is the code kicked in at 61400 miles & the light came on 2000 miles later. The extended warranty company refused to fix my car under the warranty I purchased due the "data freeze¿ showing problem existed prior to me purchasing that warranty but I was unaware of that since the engine light didn't come on at 61400. At any rate it appears to be a lot of complaints with these value bodies with low mileage.
