Replying to: mb2006 (Jan 11, 2008 12:58 pm) What do you mean Michelin is not going to stand behind them? What is the warranty on the tire? I assume it is more than 26,000 miles. What are they saying? Sounds like a good small claims court case to me. Replies to this message: palmharbor (Jan 26, 2008 3:14 am)

Replying to: bmwconvert (Jan 02, 2008 11:09 am) convert: 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 Replies to this message: palmharbor (Apr 04, 2008 7:48 am)

Replying to: lawing1 (Apr 04, 2008 7:29 am) I think the problems are fixed. My early 2006 ML500 which was terrible to begin with in fine now. My friend just took delivery this morning of a 2008 ML550 and said it is very smooth.   I would buy another!

Replying to: money112a (Jan 23, 2007 7:12 pm) Were you able to find the oil drain bolt? I can't find it either. I have a 2006 ML350.
#656 of 681 2004 ML 350 by 04350 May 31, 2008 (7:08 am)
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? Replies to this message: pfenton (Jun 05, 2008 3:04 am)

Replying to: 04350 (May 31, 2008 7:08 am) My wife owns a 1998 ML 320 now more than ten years old and has never had to replace any ball joints, pinion seals, transmission cooler lines,etc. Just routine brake service, belt and oil changes and tuneups. A less than five year old MB SUV should not have these major problems. It doen't sound too kosher to me. Perhaps a different MB service provider is warranted.
