Hope he and his family recover well. prayers to him.   Can you please provide an update with MB response? my wife drives an 02 ML 320 which she loves, despite the well known issues that the model had. I am looking at the Audi Q7, the Lexus 470, and the GL. i only added the GL after speaking with some friends who had no problems with it. However, after reading the 2 posts about spontaneous fires - i am very concerned. please tell us more

Not sure if my previous post made it clear or not but i just want to clarify that it looks like that it was NOT the catalytic but ELECTRICAL according to the person i spoke to at Allstate.

Replying to: mbbq (Jan 29, 2009 1:34 pm) My friend's 2008 GL450, 27K miles, caught on fire last Friday 09/27/09. It happend exactly as you described....(The fire started under the passenger seat and fully engulfed the car in less than 5 minutes. First, a funny smell, then some smoke, and then the fire) and it bursted into flames before the fire brigade arrived. Luckily, the car was on the driveway outside the garage only 8 feet away from the house. Amazingly, the house did not get on fire and only incurred minimum damages. Mercedes should recall 2007 and 2008 GL450 models. Replies to this message: brwbdw (Nov 01, 2009 3:05 pm) tidester (Nov 01, 2009 5:26 pm)

Replying to: st99 (Oct 01, 2009 7:38 pm) Will you please contact me? I am trying to talk with others that have had the same problem. These cars are not safe and Mercedes Benz is not wanting to fix the problem. I would really appreciate any help you can give me. I have had many electrical problems. I have now turned my car back over to Mercedes bc my husband refuses to put me and our kids back in it. Thanks Replies to this message: tidester (Nov 01, 2009 5:26 pm)

Replying to: bertrocka (Jul 11, 2009 11:24 am) Please email me at coltonkestongmail.com. I have had the same electrical problems and Mercedes is not willing to help in anyway. I am looking for an expert for a upcoming trial and need help. Thanks

Replying to: brwbdw (Nov 01, 2009 3:05 pm) Will you please contact me?   Let's keep the conversation here so everyone will benefit. To do otherwise tends to defeat the purpose of a Forum.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
