2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ML320 review from North America
"Good reliable performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump failed at 32,000 miles. Replaced under warranty.
Power steering connection came loose causing loss of powern steering. Repairman fixed at my home at 11:00pm on Saturday night. Warranty repair.
General comments?
This vehicle offers a solid comfortable ride. It is quick and responsive providing as much power as I've ever needed. Other than the two instances described above, the vehicle has been totally reliable. The interior is not as plush as some other vehicles, but it is well made with no defects or flaws. The seats are comfortable, even for long distance drives (10 hours +)
