Two problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 2003 Mercedes Benz M Class. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
- no precursors or apparent damage - drivers seat heater failed resulting in strong burning smell, and superficial burn to left upper leg of driver.
On the highway driving 65 my 2003 ml500 mercedes - benz computer shut down after hitting a small bump. It was very dangerous and was scared for my life there engine turned off and was luckily able to stop at the side of the road and start the car again. This happened a couple of weeks before but it stoped for just a second or two. This isn;t an ld car with about 25k miles on it. For a 55 thousand dollars car to do that is unacceptable.
