1995 SL500 had the sar light go on and the car went into "limp mode" and barely ran enough to get it to the service garage. The mechanic diagnosed a faulty engine wiring harness and showed me how the insulation on the wires was literally breaking away from the electrical wiring. This he said was shorting out the control module. He told me his was very common on the Mercedes of this vintage and that it was a hazard. The car only has 83,000 miles on it and my wife baby it's like her own child. It is garaged each night and I do not believe the wiring harness should have desintegrated with so few miles. It is my belief that the product is defective.
