#21 of 681 Water at my feet by aiyee Jul 11, 2002 (6:19 am)
I have a 98 ML320, when I'm driving with the AC on and I make a right/left turn, water comes out into the driver/passenger side. Dealer wants $100 to look into it. Any suggestions before I authorize the work. Thanks.

#22 of 681 My ML430 experiences by greglynn Aug 01, 2002 (11:42 pm)
I have a 1999 ML430 equipped with about every option including the now discontinued/not supported 1st Gen slapped on Nav GPS system. To date:   Wind noise at door seals - warr service CD failure - replaced unit warr Nav system failure - replaced unit warr Transmission computer keeps ML in kicked down passing gear after I back off on gas pedal. Asking dealer about this.. Seat belt recall - factory warr service Front brakes replace at 25K Sunroof failed - full replace under warr Sun visor bracket breakage - warr serviced Spring failure in rear seats Cup holders knocked out of alignment by long legged passengers Nose angle of hood is prone to rock chips from other cars   Overall the vehicle has been great. Outstanding power, handles like a car, unbelievable traction control especially in rain. Can get interesting in extreme emergency maneuvers like any HCG SUV. Short wheelbase makes it still bounce you more than one likes for extended highway cruising. Seats in this model are not as comfortable as my Explorer was or 2000 model ML is. I have 6 yr 100K extended warranty. Am looking forward to 2004 larger SUV Mercedes has in design right now.
#23 of 681 Fuel Pump Problems Anyone? by lambo_oreo Aug 11, 2002 (10:06 am)
Just bought a brand new 02 ML320. I occassionaly have an issue where it feels like the engine is not getting enough fuel so it starts shaking and eventually die. The feeling is similar to a manual trans where you are trying to mix the clutch and the gas so it won't die on you. They replaced the fuel pump at 4k miles and now at 5.5k miles, the problem is showing up again.   Has any one seen this? Replies to this message: tuanl (Nov 07, 2007 10:07 pm)

have a problem w/ my 2002 ML320. the passenger side mirror supposed to tilt down when you put the gear in reverse and you can program it(angle of the mirror) to your memory seat. I tried to follow the manual for programming but didn't work. called the dealer and they said the manual was misprint and you can't program the mirror. I got the convenient pak. just for that feature b/c it is really useful when you do parallel parking in city. Is this true? They said I was the first one noticed it. Seems like nobody knows how to fix this problem.

The sales brochure implied that it was standard. When I called 1-800-MERCEDES to ask about it, they said that the tilt-down function was part of the M2 package, which I do not have but you do. I would definitely call Mercedes and ask about it. I would also ask your salesman and/or another dealer.

I've finally got an answer from the MB. regarding malfunctioning passenger side mirror. In order to activate the tilt down feature, you need to press memory button under driver's seat every single time you get in the car. I think it is the most ridiculous feature I've ever seen in my life. They keep saying that it was just engineered like that, no further explanation! I thought owning a MB. would give me a piece of mind, in terms of service and quality, but I was wrong. I've learned my lesson in a very expensive way. Think twice when you buy a MB.

I have no problems with my mirror tilt down feature. You do need to have the passenger side mirror selected on the center console switch for it to work. I have never pressed my memory button.

Yes, I know that you need to select the passenger side mirror button to mobilize the tilt down feature. It seems like the mirror is working when I program it, but it doesn't tilt down once I restart the engine. Is my ML only one doing that?
