2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML review from North America
"A tight and well engineered vehicle."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked turn signal lenses on the outside mirrors (it came like that). The window washer fluid reservoir cracked and leaked.
It took almost a year to get mud flaps that were made for this year model.
Power seat, driver's side, stopped working.
Everything quickly repaired.
General comments?
After reading about all the repairs in previous model years I was sort of expecting more problems.
The car is now "broken in" and is very smooth as you might expect of a Mercedes.
After being driven for 2 years the seats still feel as firm as brand new. The car is still crisp to drive and has good power.
