Mercedes Benz ML320 owners have reported 3 problems related to brake disc pads (under the service brakes category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
1. ) brake pads need replacing after 10,000 miles. 2. ) fuel filter replacement requires newly designed part and additional hoses, clamps etc totaling over $300. Because previous part causes fuel leaks(?) and not available. Shouldn't mb pay for part of this??.

My mercedes truck has burned through 4 or 5 sets of brake pads in the front and two sets for the rear within 63300 miles of driving, our driving is mostly on the freeway. I called Mercedes Benz they told me to take it to the dealer, which I already did. My dealer tells me that this is a universal problem with the ml 320 and ml 430 trucks, they are heavy vehicles and the components of the brake pads are soft and so are the brake rotors. It is the design of these components and the weight of the vehicle that contributes to a high burning rate of these brakes. This was told to me by the dealer as well as another mercedes service center.

While rotating my tires, the Mercedes Benz mechanic reported that my front brake pads were worn down. I have driven for 44 years in many different types of vehicles. I have driven in 10 foreign countries and across the us several times. I do not abuse my car. My benz has never been off the road. It has never been in four-wheel drive. It is 18 miles to my office of which 15 miles are freeway driving. I cannot believe brake pads should wear out after one year and 15,500 miles. $250 per year to replace brake pads is crazy. Mercedes should advise prospective owners of this annual cost. Have there been other complaints?.
