We have classified the 3 complaints from 2000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
I am the owner of a 2000 e320. i have been having chronic problems with headlamps, fog lights, and brake lamps going out very frequently. often, i receive an error message that the "lamps are inoperable", after checking all bulbs, i find this is not the case, mercedes may not admit to this, but there is an electrical problem with many of their cars. i have just recently (two days ago) had my passenger side bulb housing melt away. don't know how long that been happening. i believe i am lucky that the car has not caught on fire as of yet with all of the electrical issues. the only good news i have about these constant problems is, the body repair company for mercedes-benz of south atlanta (ga), will see me on monday to see if they can replace the headlamps housing, provided they have one in stock. so, "wish me luck" and pray for mercedes to do the right thing before something bad happens to one of their customers...... *tr

Small amount of fluid spilled from cup holder in 2000 e320 during braking. disabled the car almost immediately by destroying electronic transmission system. carbecame stuck in 2nd gear. when pulled off highway and tried to restart, car was stuck in park. told by mb dealer in fresno, ca that even minute amounts of liquid will disable the car in this way. car disabled in same way in may 2000 but was never told by mb that problem was due to moisture or using cup holder. not informed of this problem when car was leased in 2000.
