2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class 350 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I see some folks have problem with car shaking at stop. I had this problem as well. It was traced back to a sensor in the engine. Crankshaft position sensor. It was replaced with no cost (except labour) even though my ML was out of warranty. Labour was $60. You can search the internet to see how to replace this sensor... it is a 20 minute job. Part is about $100.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
General comments?
I love my 2003 ML. It has 80K miles on it, but rides like new.
Based on my experience with ML, I got one more Mercedes for the family. This time it was a 2010 GLK.
