2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML 320 review from North America
"Overpriced piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Installed lighted running boards. Water leaks into the lights- shorting them out. Four different dealerships have worked on them.
GPS Antenna shorted out at 15,000 miles.
Power window failed in the down position at 20,000 miles. Faulty switch in the center console.
Radio volume failed at 21,000 miles. Dealer replaced entire unit.
A/C compressor seized at 28,000 miles. Smoked the drive belt and almost started engine fire.
General comments?
Very unreliable car.
Don't waste your money. Spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.
My first and last Mercedes.
Interior rattles drive me crazy.
Not what you would expect from a 40,000 dollar vehicle.
Cup holders are only hold small size drinks and frequently dumps bigger drinks.
One speed intermittent wipers.
Good turning radius.
