general problems of the 2007 Mercedes Benz ML350

Driver's side sam module shorted due to water entering the cargo compartment. Also, liftgate inoperable due to water entering the cargo compartment and damaging the module. Instrument cluster lights remain on after exiting the vehicle and warning lights flash every 8 to 10 seconds until battery drains. 2009 and later Ml350 recalled for water intrusion into the cargo compartment via a defective tail light assembly seal and subsequent fire hazard to the liftgate module. Water found in other cavities of the 2007 Ml350. Afraid of the fire hazard for the 2007 Ml350 as well. Dealer says 2007 Ml350 not affected by recall number 2009030003.

I purchased my 2007 Mercedes Benz Ml350 on 10/11/14 on 10/24/14 I began having problems with what seemed to the shifting of gears. When trying to slowly excel from either a complete stop or a slow crawl it seems as though the car would not move, it was having a problem automatically shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, and back down from 3rd to 2nd. This has happened several times and has occurred while in traffic endangering my and my families lives. After speaking to a mechanic, he has stated that this seems to be continual problem with this vehicle and should be made part of a recall! the cost to fix is approximately $5,000 in which I do not have after spending so much for this vehicle to begin with! I ask that you help to get Mercedes Benz to right this wrong. This is not right, they are ripping consumers off and putting our lives at risk. Thank you!.
