1999 Mercedes-Benz M-Class review from North America
"Pile of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tires, three sets at 75000 miles.
Brakes, three sets with rotors 75000 miles.
Fuel pump, 74000 miles. MB are installing a modified fuel pump.
Oxygen sensor at 74000 miles.
Sun roof rattles.
Back and side doors rattle.
Cup holders on both sides broke.
Drivers side window switch failed.
Parts of interior trim falling off.
Muffler rattles.
General comments?
The ML 430 is a rattletrap.
I have contacted MB USA and they don't want to know about it.
Would never again purchase a Mercedes.
There should be a class action suit brought against MB for selling such a lemon.
