Equipment Problems of Mercedes Benz ML320

8/1/2021 accident involving 2008 mercedes Ml320 cdi >recall faulty tow hitch< mercedes has refused to conduct an investigation and resolve these damages. While injured (both myself and 9 yr old son w/ a heart condition), no serious injuries or fatalities happened during the accident. It resulted in totaling the vehicle and our camper. Recall doc's show that mercedes of new orleans completed the recall; however, they either falsified disclosing they did the repair or conduct poor workmanship when repairing the hitch. While driving the hitch broke/cracked resulting the camper flipping over and slamming into the truck. I have photos along w/ consulted w/ certified welder confirming the weld was not properly done. More photos if needed.

Tow hitch weld broke resulting in vehicle accident. Interstate wreck, could have killed myself, my 9 yr old and 4 dogs along w/ any other vehicles that could have struck us.

Ongoing issue that is sometimes difficult to replicate. Vehicle will suddenly die while driving or idling, without warning, and take approximately 20 minutes to restart. Ignition will sometimes stick and not start. Vehicle almost crashed into another vehicle in one instance where sudden loss of power occurred while approaching stop light.

Got another jump to give the the battery some extra juice. After I received the jump I'm back on the road. In the ancient occur again so I called someone to give me a jump.

Dealer installed flex-n-gate trailer hitch, not currently included in recall campaign 08v242000. Have experienced identical weld failure, as described in recall information. Would like to request expansion of recall to include 2009 models.

While driving today at approx 20-25 mph brakes suddenly applied on their own and my vehicle swerved and came to a halt. Waited several minutes and restarted the vehicle. Drove on the 101 and 405 freeways without further incident. Drove later on the same day, and the same thing happened again. This is extremely dangerous. What if I had been driving on the freeway? I refuse to drive this vehicle again. Is there a recall on this? I have seen a lot of similar incidents online.

She was traveling about 45 mph when all of a sudden the brakes locked up and she burned rubber on the road before she was able to stop, however she was in the other lane. I was just thanking god another car was not coming the other way. I won't let her drive it and ordered a yaw sensor for it because when I went online to read way this would happen it seems like it happens a lot to the 2001 and it turned out to be the yaw sensor. When we get it in we will try to drive it in and get the codes but I can't believe you have not done a recall on this part. I almost lost my daughter because of this. Please look into this, it's and easy fix but the part is expense. Thank you barbara rae.

Check engine light warning with code #20be1b. Repair indicates need of diesel exhaust fluid (def) heater repair kit. Diesel exhaust fluid system is part of emissions system. Mb dealership says no warranty for repair. Internet research widespread problem with def system around 50,000 miles.

My 2002 Ml320 cluster display lights on my dash all light up, the check engine light comes on, the speedometer stops working actually goes to zero. Once the car comes to a complete stop it accelerates very slowly and will not shift out of first gear. This is very frightening for someone in traffic and this happens without warning. Please investigate this issue before someone is rear ended and dies.

Ml320 bluetec, randomly loses power. The power will be restored once the car is turned off and on again. Car has been to the dealer 7 times for repair of this one issue, including twice in a state with limited power. Dealer has done multiple software updates, turbo replacement, exhaust valves replacement and the issue is still present. On one of the last occasions this happened, the car lost power when trying to merge on to the hwy. This almost resulted in me being rear ended by a big rig. Luckily I was able to pull to the shoulder before I was rear ended. This is serious safety concern that needs to be addressed and rectified. As of 02/17/2014 this issue has not been corrected.

The contact owns a 2009 mercedes ml 320. The contact stated that the trailer hitch fractured and detached from the vehicle at the seams while going through a car wash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was advised that the failure was caused by rust of the hitch. The dealer recommended that the contact use a different and larger vehicle to haul a trailer. The vehicle was left with the dealer for repairs. The contact was concerned because he was adhering to the hailing specifications listed for his year, make and model. The contact stated referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 08v242000 (trailer hitches). The failure and current mileages were 38,000.

While driving 30 mph the consumers vehicle was hit on the drivers side and subsequently rolled two times before it landed back on all four tires. None of the six air bags deployed and the Mercedes Benz tele-aid system never activated therefore the service center was not immediately informed of the accident.
