#8153 of 8165 Brakes, Calipers, or ABS? by rnugent Mar 09, 2009 (7:07 pm)
We have a new to us ML 320...a '98 w/less the 80K on the odometer. Driving it home from the used car dealer (not an MB dealer), the right front brake seemed to hang up and start smoking. Didn't feel like it was pulling to the right or other signs of brake issue. I was driving separately and got home 15-20 minutes after. Back rotors warm to touch, left front similarly warm to touch, right front noticeably hotter. Called dealer (30 day warranty upon sale!), who will bring mechanic by tomorrow to examine and tow away if necessary. I took the vehicle to the corner gas station (it was low...) maybe 1.5 to 2 miles away and back again. No smoke, nothing peculiar about the brakes. Back rotors were warm to touch, front were warmer but not overly so and left front and right front seemed same as each other. Neither 'Brake' or 'ABS' light came on during problems.   Ideas? Suggestions? What should we expect them to do?   Thanks,   Raymond
#8155 of 8165 lock your doors by ficuss Apr 14, 2009 (3:26 pm)
Something to think about the next time you lock your car door, I tugged on the door handle of my 06 ML350 last week after locking the door with the remote. I was surprised to find the Drivers door opened on the second pull of the handle. The horn sounded the alarm but the door opened. I assume that for the past 3 months my car wasn't locked when I thought it was locked. MB repaired the lock at no charge and gave me a very nice 2010 C300 to use for 2 days. You might want to check to see if your door is really locked when you think it is locked.
#8156 of 8165 Weak A/C by rnugent Apr 27, 2009 (8:50 am)
Drove our new to us '98 ML-320 yesterday on unseasonally 92 degree day. The A/C could barely keep the vehicle comfortable...any more bodies or higer temp (and we'll face both as the summer comes...) and it just would not hack it. The truck has about 80K miles on it.   Is the a/c on these usually good? Is there a relatively simple fix (yeah, I know, check freon or whatever it is this uses....anything other than that?).   I spent a bunch on my 300D's a/c to get it to cool and it never really did the trick. Don't know whether to suck it up or expect better.   Any ideas would be appreciated.   Thanks, Raymond Replies to this message: tidester (Apr 27, 2009 9:51 am) chumsae (Apr 27, 2009 4:53 pm) klappekiste (Apr 28, 2009 9:01 am)

Replying to: rnugent (Apr 27, 2009 8:50 am) You may just need to replenish the A/C's refrigerant. Yes, that's the first thing you should look at.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: rnugent (Apr 27, 2009 8:50 am) We have a 2000 ML320 and live in El Paso, Texas, where it gets to the high 90's much of the summer. I found the ML AC to be okay but substandard compared to our 10 year older Lexus LS400, which could freeze your arm off... or something else for that matter.   Not sure if our truck is typical, but I get a pittance of cooling when the right hand diverter dial is set on anything but the 9 O'Clock position (blows everything through the dash vents). My hunch is the diverter flaps are ineffective except in that position.

Replying to: rnugent (Apr 27, 2009 8:50 am) Check to see if your cooling fans are on when a/c is on. older ML's have a habit of blowing fuses....Hope this helps   Klappekiste
#8160 of 8165 Re: Mercedes ml320 2002. My SUV will not start. [artiste] by briancrain May 26, 2009 (12:14 pm)
Replying to: artiste (Apr 16, 2008 6:03 am) My ml320 will be running smooth then dash lights all go on and the car goes into limp mode. I shut off the motor and it will be start up just fine. I replaced the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor. Problem got worse. Now, sometimes the engine will not start. After a few minutes will start. Driving will just die. Will start up after a few minutes. I can hear the fuel pump. What can it be? Replies to this message: gold3n_8oy (Sep 16, 2009 8:08 am) gold3n_8oy (Sep 16, 2009 8:11 am)
#8161 of 8165 Expired Keys? by radey77 Jun 08, 2009 (2:52 pm)
I have a 1998 ML 320 which i shipped to my home country outside the USA. The two keys could no longer start the SUV now.I was informed that the keys have expired. Do they expire? i tried to get a replacement key from a dealer here in Maryland but they refused to cut the key becauce it is no longer registered in this country.I showed the registration for my country but it was refused. My problem is that it is so difficult to cut the key in my country even from a dealer. How can i get a replacement key. I cannot start the truck now if l go home to my country. The keys start the engine but will not run.

But after 3days, it happened again, but this time after the engine stop when im driving normally at night, engine died suddenly again..I start the engine and it start again, but it shaked heavily and it wont move eventhough i step on the gas, but it suddenly move again but power is extremely low...a second it moves, another second it stalls without reactions.. It got worse when i turn on the air condition, the RPM weakened..I managed to get home safely witth my car stall a while oftely. when i reached home, I stepped on the gas rythmly on and on, it went back to normal without any issues..
