Bought the 2005 Ml350 used last summer (2010). In the first few weeks of owning the vehicle while slowing down or stopped, the acceleration seemed to drop low enough to make the vehicle stall. No check engine light on, but took it back to the dealership and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Since then, it has happened multiple times over the year. Also, while starting the vehicle it will stall and I will have to keep retrying to start it and press the acceleration pedal to get it to finally start. (only use the recommended octane suggestions from the mercedes booklet, and follow all directions during fueling) finally, seems to possibly have a steering fluid leak. (only use mercedes power steering fluid from dealership).
A woman ran a red light and crashed into the front passenger side of my 2004 Mercedes Benz ml 350. After the impact there was smoke coming from under the hood. A driver coming from the opposite direction yelled out that my car was on fire. When I got out of the car, I saw a big puddle under the car and it ignited. Within a few minutes the car was completely engulfed in flames. When the police arrived they determined from the amount of front end damage to the other car that the driver was not speeding and that the impact didn't seem to be sufficient to cause my car to catch fire.
