I've got a 1994 C220 with a wiring harness that is going. I agree that it's a safety issue that Mercedes should do something about (before someone dies and gets a class action law suit with criminal negilgence at it's core). In my case, unfortunately I've high miles (120K) and well beyond Mercedes/DaimlerChrysler's good will policy. I am tempted to lodge a complaint with the National Highway Safety Agency who tracks this stuff....if enough people complain they will force Mercedes to do a recall.
