Wiring problems of the 2000 Mercedes Benz ML320

Two problems related to wiring have been reported for the 2000 Mercedes Benz ML320. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2018

Takata recall I just bought a 2000 mercedes ml 320. My ac stopped working and took it to a mercedes certified mechanic. Told me it was a pressure sensor. He then called me back and told me that the wiring harness had fallen apart and all wires were touching each other making shorts thru out the car. He told me that the shorts had fried my computer and the only way to fix all this was to replace the wiring harness. At almost $2000. 00 for the repair it seems that mercedes intentionally did this to make money. They should be held accountable to repair this issue as they did it so the wiring harness would bio degrade when the car was junked. Not a good practice to sell cars in the united states.

2 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2006

Oil consumption problem. Oil light keeps coming on between 200-600 miles of driving. Transmission is failing and engine needs to be replaced. Very poor.
