BAS/ESP Malfunction by zoomer3

I have a 2000 ml 320. within the last two days, the BAS/ESP lamp came on twice.( also the ets/esp warning lamp) while driving between 30 and 50 mph.
Instantiously the vehicle learched to on side, as if full brakes had been applied.I also heard a clunk sound. This lasted 1 - 3 seconds. The bas/esp light stayed on, the ets lamp went out.
when you restart the vehicle the BAS/ESP lamp is out. Stopped to check for any problems, but found none.
Iam scared to drive it. Any body with similar
problems? or a good transporter to my dealer?

ML500 Ownership Experiences and Problems by darkmann

I have a MY02 ML320 with 6K on it. I really haven't had any problems with the truck. However, I've had to take it in several times for very small things - water leak into the turn signal lens, water leak into both rear lamps, torn seat fabric. The biggest problem I had was just a few weeks ago - I went to adjust the rear passenger side seat and its darn support piston mechanism fell apart. Part was ordered and was fixed several days later. It really depends on the dealer. In my case, I have nothing to complain 'cause I always get a MB for loaner and they treat me nice.

Instrument Problem? by kiiwii

Can't set the clock back one hour. Follow the owner's guide step by step. Just noticed that I can't check the engine oil level on the instrument too. Yes, did the following...
1. open the driver side dooor
2. press the left switch
3. turn the key to I or II for oil level.
 
Also, to set the clock...
Pull the right knob and turn left for the hour and right for the minute.
 
Nope, both didn't work. Is this a common problem on MLs? Mine is still under warrenty, but kindda afraid to let the shop to do such a delicate fix. I may end up with lots of rattles after putting in a new instrument panal.

Rear Seat Rattle by wep2

My 02 320 (7000 mi) has developed an annoying rattle in the rear seats. I have removed the lampshade cover & the floor plates that cover the storage, but it is neither. Any suggestions?
Also, lots of condensation inside driver side headlamp, anybody w/same problem? Other than that I love it, except for the auto volume control on the stereo.

ABS/ETS Lights On by wrada

The ABS and ETS lights on the dashboard came on during a long drive. I read the owner's manual and it says the ETS automatically disconnects (and the light comes on) when there is an ABS fault (which means the cruise control, which is on the same circuit, also goes out.) A couple of strange things have happened since: once the ML wouldn't shift out of first (I restarted the car and it worked fine) and a couple of times now the interior lights don't go out after the door has been closed for a few seconds. It seems like a voltage or relay problem rather than an ABS problem. I put in a new battery, but no change. Before I take it into the dealer (hate to do it, because it's out of warranty) does anyone have an idea what might be going on?

You have to use more force than you think you have to to change the clock. It works, but really crank on it.

Freaking out! by dlegoflamb

I purchased a 2000 ML320 with 27000 miles on it last Nov. 2001. Since I've had this vehicle:
1.The brakes have had to be replaced
2. The power steering line has ruptured WHILE DRIVING
3. The hatch back door wouldn't lock, resulting in it flying open while driving
4. After the hatch was fixed, none of the doors would lock
5. The BAS, ETS lights continually going on
6. The CD player has had to be replaced
7. A plastic panel on the drivers seat fell off and was replaced
8.After backing out of a parking space, when you turn the steering wheel back into driving position, there is a very loud noise ( the car noise has drawn attention of pedestrians in parking lots) The MB dealership still can't figure this one out.
9. Yesterday the brake warning light just came on
 
With the newest warning light coming on, I had decided to try taking it to a MB dealer in a larger city to be fixed. I started having my doubts about the mechanics at our local dealer. But today I stumble onto this message forum and realize that lots of other owners are having the same problems!
This car is fun to drive, comfortable on long trips, and handles great in the snow. I hate to get rid of it, but when my warranty expires I can't afford to repair this car.
