I agree with you- I have a 1969 Chevrolet Caprice (36 years old), still with perfect original wiring. I have no electrical problems whatsoever. I also have a 1973 Pontiac Grand Ville (32 years old) also with 100% perfect, untampered wiring. Both of the engine wiring harnesses are in perfect condition, with no frayed wires. I have owned several cars (American and Japanese) over the years and never had any electrical problems- such as wiring or harnesses. I also have a 89' Pontiac- no problems either. No problems on the old 88' Nissan work truck either- even with 250K miles.
I think the older Mercedes are not that bad either- I think it is just where they designed these things to deteriorate. I think they should offer to repair- or at least at a very reduced rate.

I have a 93 Nissan that I bought new, no wiring problems there either. Mercedes Benz should accept responsibility for what clearly is a manufacturing defect. Especially when you consider what these cars cost new. Just my 2 cents worth.
