#613 of 681 Re: More Transmission problems [palmharbor] by mshah2 Feb 13, 2007 (12:34 pm)
Replying to: palmharbor (Feb 01, 2007 2:00 pm) I have ML350, 06MY. I was getting engine hesitation, surging of the engine when I brake, longer idle times when shifting. After three valves replacement, they finally replaced the entire transmission last week, I had less then 12,000 miles on the vehicle.

Replying to: phxmax (Aug 07, 2006 5:27 pm) I have a 2001 ML320 and have the ESP/BAS light come on and was repaired by MB replacing something call the lateral acceleration sensor and they fixed it at a discount because it was out of warranty but with only 15,000 miles for $300 but it would of been more than $500.
#616 of 681 daylight savings Time change 2007 ML320 by subden Mar 11, 2007 (7:42 pm)
Anybody know how to change the clock on a 2007 with COMMAND and Nav. The owners manual is no help (I assume that it is automatic on the COMMAND system because the COMMAND manual doesn't even mention how to set the clock). It didn't change time for the new Daylight Savings time. Replies to this message: mschafer (Mar 12, 2007 3:33 pm) subden (Mar 14, 2007 7:04 pm)

Replying to: subden (Mar 11, 2007 7:42 pm) It's deeply disguised and hidden in the Command Manual on page 220-221 under selecting the Time Zone. Not at all intuitive. I had the same problem on mine. One would think they'd make the Daylight Saving option the default for US sold cars. Replies to this message: subden (Mar 14, 2007 7:04 pm)

Replying to: mschafer (Mar 12, 2007 3:33 pm) Thanks much...I called the dealer who gave me the directions. You're absolutely right...it is deeply hidden in the manual.
#619 of 681 2003 ML350 Problem by tygerleo Apr 06, 2007 (7:15 pm)
I got this car from my sister in LA. The current mileage is about 38K, we seems having some lucks with it, no major problem so far. But we did replace the brake pad twice, and rotor once. I understand the ML use a bit soft brake pad, which wears out fast, but two replacements within 4 years is really excessive. I wonder if this problem of the Mercedes design, or just the scheme of the dealer getting more money from client -- brake does not cover under warranty for Mercedes product (I think BMW covers everything during the warranty period).   I also have problem the Ray Catena of New Jersey could not fix. Whenever the temperature is below 30 degree, the windshield washer does not work, possibly the washer fluid is frozen at the nozzle, or the washer pump does not work at this temperature. Anyway, so much for the German engineering, maybe they should ask Russian to design this next time.
#620 of 681 2006 ml350 gas pedal issue by ml350msa Apr 17, 2007 (6:50 pm)
Has anyone out there had a problem with the gas pedal on their ml350? I have 36K miles and about 2K miles ago I started my car one morning and pressed the gas pedal only to feel like there was no pressure behind it...it acclerated, but much slower than usual even when I floored it. A week later it went back to normal, then it happened again, then fixed itself. I took it in for service and they replaced the pedal mechanism but since it was no longer doing it it was hard to describe the issue. It was fine since the replacement for about a month but just this week it happened again...sound familiar to anyone? Thanks.
#621 of 681 Tire Wear by palmharbor May 02, 2007 (2:02 am)
The OEM Continental 255/55/18 tires on my 2006 ML500 need replacement at just under 20,000 miles. I have been very careful to rotate them and maintain correct air pressure, and the tread wear has been very even. I would like to know if replacement at relatively low mileage is common. I am considering the Michelin latitude Tour HP as the replacements.

Replying to: palmharbor (May 02, 2007 2:02 am) Wow thats unbelivable! My original tires lasted me to 75,000 miles. I forget what it's called exactly but my technition does wheel alignments where they not only rotate the tires but they can change the angle of the drums or balls (if this makes no sense I appologigize I'm bad at remembering technical terms) to be sure the tires are reciving the same amount of pressure and are in close alignment to the steering wheel and at the correct angle to the ground. I never heard about this during my service contract. I'm not sure if its part of the A or B service if it is you should be getting that done. But as I know with my ML when it was in service I think there are a great many elements of the services that were not actually performed or performed correctly. So it's possible that if you didn't ask for it you didn't get it. And of course tire wear depends on a lot of different variables are you driving on hot stone paved roads or something that would cause your tires to wear faster then paved asphalt?
