Two problems related to underhood wiring have been reported for the 1999 Mercedes Benz ML320. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving 25 mph, one of the occupants noticed smoke coming from the left side of the hood. Everyone immediately got out of the vehicle. The fire department was contacted, came and extinguished the fire under the hood. The vehicle could no longer be driven.
Total electrical failure after stopping, towed to dealer in va. For repair. Locks popping up and down like a machine gun, dealer has "fixed" 3 times, cd player failure after a month, dealer replaced complete unit, dash warning lights were either off at starting or some on or all off, dealer found no problem, seems to have healed. We do not trust the vehicle which we purchased new anymore. We are constantly awaiting something else to go wrong.
