Complaint Review: Mercedes Benz Of North America

I purchased a 1995 c280 model Bens a little over a year ago, and for a while all seemed to be going well, until one day while driving (in florida) the car began jerking quite violently, as I drove. I rested for a while and shortly after driving off the jerking started again (quite violently)

I took the vehicle to a Benz Benz Dealer & Service Center in Orlando, where after waiting for some hours I was told that I needed to replace the harness...This cost me over $1100-... and since I was leaving for NY the following day (driving) I had no choice but to have the job done. Since then (inspite of the installation a new harness) I continue to have the same problem (the jerking) ever so often, so much so that I am afraid to dive long distances.

I don't know if there was a recall of this model Benz (1995 c280) but I am extrremely frustrated I did not know of this problem with the 1995 C280 until I read your report today. Has there been any progress in getting Benz to address this problem? or has there been a recall of the 1995 c280 that address this problem? I'm extremely frustrated.

This report is prompted by the complaint I just read.
