You are in the Mercedes Benz M-Class Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
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?

Replying to: bmwconvert (Jan 02, 2008 11:09 am) In looking at the interior, I moved away from Mac (though I liked the color) and opted to do a different color scheme- silver w/ ash mb tex for this very reason. In the mac mb tex interiors I saw/test drove, I noticed the same thing- color rubbing off onto the seat. I did not see this in the ash (yet anyway), though I have a hunch that it may do the same thing. I would agree- this is an apolstry issue. I will inquire this weekend as well and see what they tell me. C |

Am considering buying a 2008 ML350. Have the 2006 ML350 7-speed transmission problems (jerkiness (surging and lunging) of the vehicle when driving slow or stopping been resolved by MB? TIA

I bought mine used May 2005, with low miles on it. Several things have been repaired on it under the original warranty which expired in Jan. 08. I took the vehicle in a few weeks back for a brake job which I knew was upcoming since it now had just over 39,000 miles. So far, these were the new problems also "found" on it by the local MB dealer: Ball joints; pinion seals, transmission cooler line. That's about $ 1,500 worth of work. When I got the vehicle back, the invoice had typed on it: "Customer states fluid leaking under vehicle" and "Customer states noise while going over bumps." Funny thing is I never made either statement to service writer. When I asked the service manager about this "enhanced" language on the invoice he defended the service writer. The service manager also tried to claim that the problems were related to our bad winter and the effects of potholes on our local roads. I usually get a customer service phone call about the service experience that I have had with this MB dealer but not this time. Is this normal disintegration of a 4 and one-half years old vehicle with under 40,000 miles on it? Is this normal behavior for a MB dealership?
