2000 Mercedes-Benz M-Class review from North America
"Poor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Too much to list.
Over $11,500 in repairs.
General comments?
I'm familiar with almost every problem listed. I have receipts totaling over $11,500 from Mercedes service department in Redwood City, California and my 2000 ML 320 has to go back AGAIN because the driver's window won't go up. Mind you I just had the motor fix in that window about 6 mos ago. the only thing that hasn't stopped working is the engine and the transmission and I'm hoping to get rid of the car before that happens. I'm afraid to drive my car long distance, I keep it in the city limits.
I thought I was driving the best. I am 48 years old and all I can say is that this is the most unreliable car I've every owned in my life, and I will never buy any kind of MB again - PERIOD! I feel used and abused. One lesson I did learn is that MB doesn't always mean the best.
