#638 of 681 Re: Hatch back door did not lock on the ML320 [tuanl] by beerball Nov 11, 2007 (6:29 am)
Replying to: tuanl (Nov 07, 2007 10:38 pm) I have a 2001 ML and have the same problem. As I understand it, there is a plastic pin that locks the hatch when using the remote. Frequently, the pin breaks and won't lock the hatch. The pin isn't used to unlock the hatch so the remote works for that. The hatch cargo handle needs to be replaced. This is another of the common M problems. Replies to this message: tuanl (Dec 03, 2007 1:50 pm)
#639 of 681 Re: 2002 ML320 D-pillar peeling... [lovemyclk] by beerball Nov 11, 2007 (6:39 am)
Replying to: lovemyclk (Sep 05, 2007 6:55 pm) D-pillar peeling is another M class common problem. My dealer wants $440 to replace both of them. The parts are less than $200 on the internet. However, I found the following "do it yourself" repair which I am going to try once the weather gets warmer. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w163-m-class/1343030-diy-repair-d-pillars.html.   It is amazing how many common problems MB has had with the M class yet never offers to correct them or even discount the repair.
#640 of 681 ML320 Engine Ticking? by rodan1967 Nov 19, 2007 (9:31 am)
I have a 99 ML320 that has this ticking coming from the engine compartment when I press the accelerator. Could be engine? The sound does not seem to be present when I at sitting in park and rev the engine. Only when driving. It seems like its on the passenger side of the car under the hood. Any suggestions at to what it could be. Since I only hear it when im driving I cannot seem to locate it.

#642 of 681 Suspension/steering problem by mustik Nov 21, 2007 (2:31 pm)
I have a 2005 ML500, air suspension. Since about 20,000 kilometres (12 months ago) the vehicle has developed road feedback (shudder) through the steering wheel on rough surfaces. Worse in "comfort" suspension mode. Makes it quite unpleasant to drive long distances, which is what I bought the truck for. Dealer makes the right noises, vehicle was with them for a fortnight, returned somewhat improved, but not fixed. I cannot believe this is as good as it gets for a Benz! Tried an air suspension Toyota Landcruiser on same roads with no problem. No problem also with my C class, but I appreciate it is not air suspension. Has anyone else experienced this problem or do I just swap it for a Toyota/Lexus?

Replying to: beerball (Nov 11, 2007 6:29 am) Thanks beerball,   you answer makes me do further research on the "cargo handle assembly"..... Indeed, the plastic pin is broken as you said I got the part from a local MB dealer ($166.00) and DIY last weekend. It does fix the problem.   Below is the link of the same issue:   http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w163-m-class/1125062-hatch-door-actuator-plastic- -stuff-warning-dont-do-easy-change-thanks-raybenz.html   -- Tuan
#645 of 681 2008 ML 350 Battery Woes by mbawhizguy Dec 06, 2007 (8:38 am)
Hi All,   I'm looking for suggestions on what to do. I bought a 2008 ML 350 September 5. 2 weeks later I start getting the "red" battery symbol on the screen and the dealer suggests I have not driven it enough. So things go on for a few more days and the battery light doesnt come on. On Halloween night my wife takes the kid to trick or treat and the car dies in the middle of the road. Dealer takes it in for 3 days does all tests and replaces battery on Nov 3rd. Today Dec 6th, same message and I anticipate the same turn of events happening. So drop the car of at the original dealer and waiting to hear from them. Any suggestions as to what is happening? I have lost faith and am scared of my family even venturing out long distances in the ML 350. I may be even looking to sell it off Thanks for any suggestions in advance!!
#646 of 681 MB-tex discoloration by bmwconvert Jan 02, 2008 (11:09 am)
(I posted this in the GL area but am doing so here as well. I assume the MB-tex interior is the same in all of vehicles)   My '08 GL with Macadamia MB-tex interior is experiencing severe discoloration on the seating surfaces. A friend who had the same interior on an '07 experienced the same problem, although I incorrectly assumed it was unique to his. Now another friend with an '08 model is having the same problem I am. In all cases, complaints to our dealers were met first with denial that there's any problem, then advice to use a dry cleaner strength solvent (which apparently is now difficult to obtain).    My dealer told me the problem is blue jeans. The rubbery nature of the seating surface apparently picks up the dye in the jeans, darkening the material. It's only taken 3 weeks for mine to look awful. This isn't from new, unwashed jeans either. Just my and my wife's regular duds that have been through the wash plenty of times.    I'm interested in hearing if any other owners are experiencing this problem. I think it should be considered a defect and a remedy should be provided at Mercedes' expense. Replies to this message: cfrazier (Jan 11, 2008 6:54 pm) asa2 (Jan 22, 2009 11:17 am)
#647 of 681 What is realistic tread life? by mb2006 Jan 11, 2008 (12:58 pm)
I am the "proud" owner of a 2006 ml350. I have Michelin Latitude tires, which have been whining since about 12,000 miles. I have complained about this numerous times, each time getting a different answer. I now have 26,000 miles on this car, and I am being told that the tire has no useful life left. Michelin is not going to stand behind the tire. I have never had to replace tires this early on any other make of car. Can anyone tell me if this is normal wear for this tire on this make of vehicle?
