#624 of 681 Re: Tire Wear [palmharbor] by eatanian May 02, 2007 (12:45 pm)
Replying to: palmharbor (May 02, 2007 2:02 am) The tires on my ML350 are behaving exactly the same. I always did the required maintenance too. They told me at a tire store that these Continental tires have unsatisfactory parameters for a vehicle this tall. I believe they are not thick enough on the edges or something like that... I am not sure about the replacements yet. Replies to this message: cneff (May 02, 2007 1:08 pm)

Replying to: eatanian (May 02, 2007 12:45 pm) I have a 2007 ML320 CDI and I can say these tires are for comfort, soft ride, quiet and forgiving, so I am not surprised they are short lived. The other day a decent size rock punctured the side walls (front and rear tires) - that seemed too easy. I had a 2001 ML320 and got 50K out of the Dunlops, though barely, but that is pretty good and I was not kind to those tires.   It seems these Continentals are short lived overall. My CLK with Continentals might make 12k - I was hoping for 20K and I'm careful. My C320 4matic Wagon with Continentals did 35K but...just, that also seems short lived since I know other brands of tires go 50 to 60k.   Kind of painful
#626 of 681 ml320 doesn't accelerate and it is not transmission problem by cfdeveloper Jun 07, 2007 (8:39 am)
Hi, I have ML320 2000. when I push gas all the way, it doesn't accelerate and pushes back. my mechanic says it's not transmission, but he couldn't find the main problem yet. is it a common case for these cars , or does anyone have some idea about what it could be? it drives fine besides that. thanks in advance.

Replying to: mperetz (Sep 30, 2003 7:37 am) It happened to my ML 320 2000, then I discovered water trapped inside body lower sides underneath the doors. Yes, those turn into water tanks that need to be drained when rubber plugs get stucked.If you look carefully from underneath the body sides at the points were the jack is positioned when lifting the car, there are two rubber niples per side that get stucked by old dirt, just push inside with your pinky finger and will unclogg automatically letting the water out.I was told by a Mercedes mechanic that those "tanks" collect the water result from the condensation inside roof and any water that went through the sun roof by accident.
#628 of 681 wet rugs in the front by roquep33 Jun 08, 2007 (10:47 pm)
Water is coming to the floor from inside, front only, driver's and co-pilot. The dealer says entire roof upholstery must be taken out, I think is he's full of it, I had that problem with an old Jaguar,water was coming through windshield grill because the a/c evaporator latch was open due to faulty solenoid operation then water filled up housing till spilling occurred. Do the evaporator housings have drains ? if so where ? What could it be in my ML ? help, heeeeeeelp !

Replying to: stevem5 (Jul 20, 2005 9:37 am) I am advising a friend about the same problem that you encountered with the keys. He has a 1998 ML320 and is totally exasperated. There is nothing I know of in the way of a solution at this point, but I was wondering what you did, if anything, to resolve the key issue.   Regards, Guzzler4
#630 of 681 2002 ML320 D-pillar peeling... by lovemyclk Sep 03, 2007 (8:02 am)
Has anyone encountered peeling of the film on the exterior of the black D-pillar on the prior-gen ML (2002)? Understand they can be replaced in a similar fashion to a windshield - glued onto the underlying frame. Not willing to pay the cost quoted from the dealer at $250 each!    Would seem there is a simple remedy and repair for this... looks like the clear film protectant layer is peeling like your skin after a sunburn.    Thanks for any guidance on this.

Replying to: lovemyclk (Sep 03, 2007 8:02 am) I recently had the same peeling problem on my 2002 ML, only it happened on the back both sides just outside the lift gate, near the top, about 6-8 inch peel each side. My car paint color is black. I still have not done anything about it. I will be interested in hearing yours and others when resolved. What color is your car? Thanks PHXMAX Replies to this message: lovemyclk (Sep 05, 2007 6:55 pm) beerball (Nov 11, 2007 6:39 am)
#632 of 681 My Mercedes Benz ML 320 shuts off while I'm driving by ildmel Sep 05, 2007 (1:19 pm)
If someone has any info, please help!! I have a Mercedes Benz ML 320 and it keeps shutting off while I'm driving, and it scares me because I always have my children, including my baby in the car. I took it to the dealer for a tune up and that's really when my problems began. I took it back to them, they took it to MB and the catalytic converter was changed. On the way home from picking it up, it turned off on my husband. Any one have any ideas? Replies to this message: cneff (Sep 07, 2007 8:29 am) tuanl (Nov 07, 2007 9:56 pm)

Replying to: phxmax (Sep 04, 2007 6:16 am) Sounds like the same area as ours... black external surface of the D-pillar flanking the liftgate window. Body color is sand beige. Replies to this message: beerball (Nov 11, 2007 6:39 am)
