I had the car serviced by the dealer and asked that they specifically check for any leaks or other abnormalities as I would be out of the 50,000 warranty period. About three weeks later I noticed an oil drop on the floor of my garage. I took the car to the dealer and they said that the seals in the steering were the cause of the leak and needed to be replaced. I argued with them about paying for this repair as the car only had 53000 +_ and this should not fail unless it was a defect design. Eventually they agreed to fix it with mb paying 1/3 and I pay 2/3 some $1200. When I went to pick up the car they told me that in addition to seal failure that the bearing on the firewall that holds the steering column was also defective and had to be replaced. I told them I would not pay for the repair and to go back to mb and tell them this is ludicrous and they will have to pay. The final upshot was that they increased the amount that mb would pay to 2/3 and that mb would also pay for the entire bearing repair. In my opinion this is a design defect as this car has never been off road or otherwise abuse and has been serviced as required by the manufacturer. It is my wife's car and get very little use. I was advised by the dealer that they have had other similar claims. This should be a recall item.

2007 mercedes ml 350: poor design of shift lever, located on steering column push up for reverse, push down for drive, push in for park (when doing so system makes near inaudible sound. ) my wife put car in park, got out car rolled in reverse caught her leg and dragged her under, car continued to roll back and crushed her left leg, mbenz said too bad be more careful this is a design fault disaster waiting to happen. Mbenz told me all of their models are being changed to this design to keep coffee etc from spilling from console cup holders into standard console mounted shift lever. I guess mbenz needs deaths before they do something about this. This idiotic design almost got my wife killed and now she has permanent leg damage after surgery and nearly 12 months rehab.
