You may just need to replenish the A/C's refrigerant. Yes, that's the first thing you should look at.

We have a 2000 ML320 and live in El Paso, Texas, where it gets to the high 90's
much of the summer. I found the ML AC to be okay but substandard compared
to our 10 year older Lexus LS400, which could freeze your arm off... or something else for that matter.
 
Not sure if our truck is typical, but I get a pittance of cooling when the
right hand diverter dial is set on anything but the 9 O'Clock position (blows
everything through the dash vents). My hunch is the diverter flaps are
ineffective except in that position.

Check to see if your cooling fans are on when a/c is on. older ML's have a habit of blowing fuses....Hope this helps

My ml320 will be running smooth then dash lights all go on and the car goes into limp mode. I shut off the motor and it will be start up just fine. I replaced the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor. Problem got worse. Now, sometimes the engine will not start. After a few minutes will start. Driving will just die. Will start up after a few minutes. I can hear the fuel pump. What can it be?

Expired Keys? by radey77

I have a 1998 ML 320 which i shipped to my home country outside the USA. The two keys could no longer start the SUV now.I was informed that the keys have expired. Do they expire?
i tried to get a replacement key from a dealer here in Maryland but they refused to cut the key becauce it is no longer registered in this country.I showed the registration for my country but it was refused.
My problem is that it is so difficult to cut the key in my country even from a dealer. How can i get a replacement key. I cannot start the truck now if l go home to my country. The keys start the engine but will not run.

Bro,
 
I have the same problem with you..I quite often experienced my car engine just die without a reason when running in a normal speed.I pulled over and start the engine and it start right up and everything normal. ut after a few weeks, I cannot start my engne. It start and die right away, i tried a few times but same thing. I changed the crankshaft sensor and everything went great.. But after 3days, it happened again, but this time after the engine stop when im driving normally at night, engine died suddenly again..I start the engine and it start again, but it shaked heavily and it wont move eventhough i step on the gas, but it suddenly move again but power is extremely low...a second it moves, another second it stalls without reactions.. It got worse when i turn on the air condition, the RPM weakened..I managed to get home safely witth my car stall a while oftely. when i reached home, I stepped on the gas rythmly on and on, it went back to normal without any issues..
Im quite fed up and pissed off..Wondering what more to change....
 
1. Have changed fuel pump, air filter,fuel filter, spark plugs, cleaned throttle valve/body 3mths ago.
2. changed air mass sensor and crank shaft sensor
 
ANYBODY HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM can help me solve it? I happened since I have a dead battery 1mth ago..The sudden engine dies happened evey night time..ehwn the lights and aircondition are on. Is it have to do with electrical parts or sensors..??? Please anybody help me..............!!!

Ditto.
I have a '01 ML320 with 198k miles on it. I predict 200k after the holidays. Only issue I had were the transmission and power steering leaks at 180k. Replaced two brake switch during the life of the vehicle. DIY crankshaft positioning sensor thanks to this forum.
 
Standard maintenance as usual. Oil change DIY every 9k to keep it running strong. MPG still at 20 as brand new.
 
I'd buy another ML after this runs to the ground.

Reliability is so-so. Have brake linings and rotors checked before buying.
 
Gas mileage. Only about 18 on the highway, maybe 14 in town. Requires premium.
