I have had my 2006 ML500 for 51 weeks. Until last week my complaints about hard shifting fell on deaf ears. Last week I spoke with my dealer's new service manager and he told me that there is a new software update for the transmission. I brought it in, but they found that the electrohydraulic control unit installed on my ML has been superseded by a new type, and they got one from MB and installed it, together with updated software. The transmission is much, much better. If any of you still have jerky transmissions, it would be worth looking into. I would be happy to fax a copy of the service sheet showing what was done to correct the problem. Also, there is acompressor for air suspension campaign.

Have had an 06 ML500 for a little over a year, have had a couple problems with it. About April of this year, car died in the middle of an intersection no indicators came on, MB Assist came quickly, and found out there was a problem with the fuel tank monitor, Even though the fuel indicator was at half, there was not a drop of gas in the car. This problem took over a week to fix, though the C230 loaner which filled in nicely. A month or so later, the check engine light came on and when brought in, advisor let us know it was a problem with the computer. Just yesterday started to notice a creaking noise during turns from the rear suspension and a little vibration when cruising and letting off the brake. Bringing it in next week for a checkup, but has anyone else had a problem with the suspension? Other than that the vehicle is a definite upgrade from the 99 and 2002 MLs we've owned. |

I would appreciate if you could give me the info on your service sheet to see if it is the same as the original fix they did or any other thing that would be helpful to fix this problem. |

Hi, everyone. As you've probably noticed, we have been trying to refine the discussions into more narrowly focussed topics. Our objective is twofold. We want to make it easier for people seeking specific information about their vehicles to find it easily and without having to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings. To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be. You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here. To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific! Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
