Hello, I was wondering if anybody that owns a 2002 ML320 had the same problems I am having with mine I bought it used Starmark certified and afetr two weeks the lights for the BAS ESP AND ETS came on solid, I took the car to the dealer and after a whole week I've got it back "repaired". well right after I drove it for 8 miles the lights came on again.   Anybody has experienced the same problem, it seem's that the dealer doesn't know how to fix this issue   Thanks   MArk Replies to this message: benzbob (Sep 30, 2004 5:03 pm) mark_fl (Sep 30, 2004 6:35 pm) navyguy1990 (Oct 07, 2004 6:36 am) funcar (Mar 07, 2005 7:11 pm)

Replying to: mark_fl (Sep 29, 2004 3:54 pm) Mark:   It is most likely your brake lamp switch that is located at the brake pedal support arm. Replies to this message: mark_fl (Sep 30, 2004 6:35 pm)

Replying to: mark_fl (Sep 29, 2004 3:54 pm) Dear Mark, I own a 2000 ML320 and had this nagging problem for about 6 weeks. The problem tends to be worse in warmer temperatures. The Mercedes Service did the following: 1. They replaced the control module for the BAS ESP, ETS (I think the Brake light comes on as well). The problem came back. 2. They noticed that the o-ring on the windshield wiper fluid reservoir was leaking and had shorted the hydraulic pump motor out, causing insufficient hydraulic pressure for the subject systems. They replaced the reservoir and the pump/motor assembly. Problem solved, right? Wrong. 3. Apparently, the shorted motor did a number on the fuse assembly. They replaced the fuse assembly. I've been alarm free for about 6 weeks (since step 3 repairs were done). You're lucky that you're still under warranty. I had to pay for the painful process. Good luck.   KL

I am looking to purchase a 1999 ML 430 - I am hoping to find someone who has owned this SUV.   43,000 miles = $19,500 asking price Very clean inside and out - I really like this but the number of postings from unhappy owners has sent up some red flags.   I have a couple of questions... 1. any recalls? 2. repair history? 3. the seller of this SUV is the 2nd owner, he says on the 99 ML 430 and the 98 & 99 ML 320 their is a 150,000 and 10 year warranty on this oil lubricated parts of the engine. He said the warranty goes with the car not the drive. I called a local dealer - no one has not heard of this - have you?   PS - I am not a 1st time MB buyer.

Replying to: lovey (Oct 14, 2004 5:42 pm) Lovey,   You can find repair history knowing the VIN number (use services like carfax.com). There were a few recalls on 1999 ML320, but they should be fixed by the owner.   Re your 10y/150K miles warranty: My 1999 ML320 just failed so I know the details on this. The warranty applies to the original owner of your ML320 only, and only if the engine fails due to the oil consumption/sludge problem. I talked to the lawyer who won the lawsuit against Mercedes today and he said this does not apply to a new owner on the vehicle.   Buy it on your own risk!   ~V, ML320 1999 77K miles engine failure.

I have been happy with my 1999 ML320. 68K miles with no major problems. Ihave had a few minor issues. Never once been stranded. 19.5K is a fair price. But if it has no documented service history avoid it. I would suggest spend a bit more and getting a newer model.
