Replying to: avery1 (Jan 11, 2008 6:14 pm) I got about 21,000 miles on the Continentals that came with my 2006 ML500.

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.

Replying to: stevem5 (Jul 20, 2005 9:37 am) HI...I am going through the same thing now and I bought my ML320 used from a dealer and only got one fully functioning key. They are telling me 8 keys, the max, have already been ordered and now I have to replace everything to get a key to work and start my car. They are quoting me 2500-4500 depending on if they have to replace the main computer also??? All for a chip in my key that wore out? Why in the heck can't they just replace the chip? I am flabbergasted and this just seems like price gauging. Does anyone know of a work around? I do not even care about having an electronic key, I just want to be able to start my car. I never ordered extra key and this was even a Starmarked vehicle. If anyone responds, please also copy to my email: Debrakrmxcomcast.net, please.
#660 of 681 Fuel Guage Not Operating Normally - PhxMax by phxmax Jan 01, 2009 (9:11 pm)
This is for anyone who may have a fuel guage issue. I own C230K and ML 320, both 2002 models. This happened to me in both of them. The problem goes like this. You fill up gas, topped off, and then you notice that shortly after filling up, the guage is showing about a 1/4 less than what should be. I asked my favorite shop (not an MB dealer, since we are out of warranty already) for this fix, he said it could cost up to $600 to get this fixed. I did not fix it right away since I was still getting accurate data on fuel consumption from the computer display, range, mpg, etc... Well, the problem took care of itself; and the guage operated normally after that. It took about 5 fill ups in the ML to get to normal, and about 12-15 fill ups on the C230K. If anyone has the same issue please post and share with all. Thanks. Replies to this message: 04350 (Jan 04, 2009 1:11 pm)
