There was a recall for various Mercedes models in July 2008 pertaining to an
incorrect SCN (software calibration number) which dealt with incorrect
fuel gauge readings as well as several other issues. Neither of your model years were listed on that July 2008 recall from the summary that I saw. It may be worthwhile to ask your mechanic whether your models could be suffering from
this also, although not covered for free under the July 2008 recall.

That happens in pale colored interiors. It's exactly why I ordered Black MB Tex instead of Macademia. Before we purchased ML, we had a Range Rover with the tan leather seats and they got really stained from our jeans, etc. Never again. I did use something on them from the Dollar Store if you can believe it. It was called "Awesome". They were real leather and they withstood it. Just dilute it and have extra water to wipe off excess when done scrubbing (I used a tooth brush) It didn't get it all but it got alot. I would recommend testing it on an inconspicuous area to be sure.

Service over 200K miles by lynnejacob2001

I have 98 ML320 with 219,000 miles. The truck has been great. Other than regular maintenance and normal wear and tear we haven't had any problems with the vehicle. I'd like to make sure it stays that way. Are there any replacements/service we should have done?
 
We have some minor knocking which my mechanic tells me is not uncommon or unexpected on a vehicle of this age. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to get to AT LEAST 400K miles.
 
Thanks

Hello Rosco, I wonder if you saw my posting #661 of 664 Re: Fuel Guage Not Operating Normally - PhxMax [phxmax] by 04350 Jan 04, 2009 (2:11 pm)...
 
The ML problem fixed itself after a few months; this is a little weird, but saved the few hundered $ my mechanics said it may cost. My ML has not had the issue again. My C Class has the same problem re-appearing just a few days ago, I am monitoring and no plan to fix; I will keep you posted. Phxmax.

2001 ML 320 No power by dabank

I tried starting my ML 320 Friday and everything was fine until my right hand hit the turn signal and high beam and the entire power died.
 
There are no lights, no automatic door locks. Nothing.
 
I took a "power tester" thing to see if power was coming from the battery and it was.
 
I opened the fuse panel inside the engine and found the power cable coming from the battery and there was power coming into there but I don't know what else to check.
 
Any ideas?
 
I just replaced my battery about a month ago.

ML350 Navigation and Lumbar Support - not working properly by rahulg
Aug 23, 2009 (8:38 pm)

Hi Drew / Friends
I recently bought a 2009 ML350 with P1. I am facing two problems. One is with COMAND navigation. It doesnt announce street names though manual says that it will. Right now, it just says turn left or right or straight without street names. Am I missing something as I cant believe that MB Navigation system is so preliminary?
 
Second problem is with seat lumbar support. I dont have memory seats but my lumbar support gets activated and when I sit on the driver seat. Even if I reduce the lumbar support as it hurts my back, it will remain in the changed position till I drive. But if I switch off the car, and when I come back it gets back to its original position as soon as i sit in the driver seat. I can hear the motor sound to verify that lumbar support is working. This is very annoying to me as I have to adjust lumbar support back every time when I start the car. Is there any way to switch this feature off?
