Two problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 2000 Mercedes Benz 320. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We bought our ml 320 new. I have had it for 13 years. No engine or transmission problems. A week ago I was at a stop light & smoke filled the interior of the car. Within minutes my car was on fire. The interior was in flames & the henderson fire department had to put out the fire. My car was burned & couldn't be repaired. I don't know what to do now. I have always loved my ml & was going to purchase another until my car went up in flames last week. I am now hearing stories from other acquaintances that they too experienced an electrical fire. Now, I see that mercedes has not owned up to their vehicle defects and has not had a safety recall. I was lucky that the car lasted this long & very blessed my daughter was not in the car with me.
Vehicle had encountered numerous mechanical and control issues from the outset. Electrical system, fuel pump, accelerator pedal, power steering, windows, and air bag lights.
