2002 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML 500 review from North America
"The car is a lemon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof defective frame.
Power steering hose leak.
Power steering pump replaced.
Doors locking but car not arming.
Brake pads and rotor replaced.
Navigation system failure.
Wiper sensor malfunctions.
General comments?
This car is very comfortable, and runs very well when everything works right. However I have spent more in way too much in repairs. It runs into the thousands every time I have to take it in, and all these problems started 1000 miles after the extended warranty ran out.
I took the car in on time to get all of the services, and don't understand why these problems were not caught during the warranty period.
