1999 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML 430 review from North America
"The ML 430 Mercedes with the sky view option is poorly designed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There has been only one thing wrong with this car since we purchased it in May 2002. We cannot close the sky view sun roof. Recently we were riding with the sun roof open and when we went to close it, it would not close only click. We took it to a near by dealer and was told that because the sky views were in only a limited number of cars and that they were no longer made that the cost to repair would be $5,300.00.
General comments?
No wonder they were only a few limited ones manufactured. Who wants to pay that much for a repair on a sun roof?
Seeing we have only had the car a few months this is the only problem we have had, and hope it will be the last. Who could afford anymore with this repair cost.
We were wondering if anyone else has had this problem. If so please E-mail us at northgcs@msn.com.
Thank you.
