Failure Date: 01/19/2023

My 2007 mb Ml320 cdi has problem with water entering where spare tire located,after rain or when I use car wash. It builds inside so much water that module for for fuel pump stopped working,all wires were corroded,I paid for repairs from my pocket because mb dealership refused to fix my vehicle even they new mb ml/gl models have issue with water entering spare tire area. Now I find out they have recall with over323,000 ml/gl models. Recall number22v-955. I would like to file this complaint because dealership refuses to cover my previous repairs. Water still entering trunk area,and I have to constantly drain and vacuum trunk area. I hope you will have another recall or add older mb ml/gl to recent recall list. Thanks.

2 Other Fuel System problem of the 2000 Mercedes Benz ML320

Failure Date: 11/15/2019

As I noticed in other complaints they all focus in the power steering issues, fuel / oil leaks and loss, esp option , electrical mail functions that relate with the ecu, problem with the shifter. All these are safety concerns since all the above problems can cause an accident . I have the same problems in my car and it is really difficult to operate the vehicle. The power steering is not working as the car is not in speed motion unless you use strength to turn the wheel , the esp is not working at all , the shifter is not changing to drive unless you override it and that's the only way to start it and the fuel along with the oil is leaking and all the fluids are disappearing in no time . All these are safety hazards and not just a simple problem . There should have been a repair for all of these issues ASAP free of charge from mercedes for the owners of the particular defective vehicles . Thank you in advance.

3 Other Fuel System problem of the 1999 Mercedes Benz ML320

Failure Date: 06/13/2017

This is in regard to NHTSA id #10033607, also Mercedes Benz service campaign #2009100002 dated Jan 2010, for model 163. My vehicle isn't covered by above mercedes service campaign because it's v-6 model, but showing exactly the same safety problem. I've taken and attached a few photos of the problem area showing severe damage to fuel line and less so to brake line. The photos showing severe chafing between fuel line & brake line just below master cylinder. The service campaign only covers 8 cylinder models, but my 6 cylinder model is showing exactly the same chafing at the same area. I have not experienced any problem, but just noticed this issue last few days.

4 Other Fuel System problem of the 1998 Mercedes Benz ML320

Failure Date: 12/27/2014

My battery was low and unknown to me the Ml320 for this year loses its transponder codes in the das security module when you try to start the vehicle with a low battery. This is evidentally the third key that has lost its programming on my vehicle due to low battery voltage. Cost so far is 499 for a key, weeks waiting for the key from germany, and 300 to program it once they recieve the key. Its a dealership only item so its very very costly. This is a known problem with mercades and checking the forums it seems that everyone that has 1998-2000 model mercades all lose their transponder codes between 129,000 and 132,000 miles no matter what. This is an obvious manufacturers defect and a known issue that should be paid for by mercades. I never had these issues with my two 2002 ml500's but I will never purchase another benz in my life.

6 Other Fuel System problem of the 2003 Mercedes Benz ML320

Failure Date: 07/04/2013

While driving, went over bump in road, and truck immediately lost speed. Pressure on gas pedal weakend. There was absolutely no acceleration. I pulled over after almost being hit, and turned vehicle off. Restarted and pull over into autozone to have them hook it up to diagnostic reader. It came back with several codes, that all stated "throttle pedal positioner malfunction" I have bought and replaced this item 4 times since this incident, and the problem still exists. I am forced to drive the vehicle because I have to get back and forth to work, but I'm always very afraid that this part is going to malfunction while in a busy intersection or street, and I along with my kids are going to be killed. It happens at least two to three time a week, sometimes more.

7 Other Fuel System problem of the 2002 Mercedes Benz ML320

Failure Date: 06/06/2010

The vehicle suddenly loses acceleration causing it to slow down on freeway when merging,going up hills or in fast traffic. If you push gas pedal to floor vehicle does not immediately respond then suddenly re accelerates. Mechanic replaced electrical part called throttle pedal sensor which is in engine compartment. This part electronically sends signal to engine to accelerate or not. When it fails the acceleration is erratic. Can cause unintended acceleration or loss of it. Same problem happened with CO worker.
