Strengths: Great motor, strong, quiet, great fuel econ.
Weaknesses: Everything but the motor. If you plan to keep this car, buy as much warranty as you can.
Summary: This car has been the most troubled car I have ever owned. First week the trans. leaked. Then the dvd player would not eject, the dealer installed a new player and said that MB would send my dvd back. A year and a half later, no dvd. We got a false warning of no head lights. This took two trips to the dealer to fix. Less than a year later the false warning is back. One of the dvd monitors is out now. There is a intermintent hard shake in the steering wheel while under hard acceleration that the dealer has been unable to duplicate, so this is still unresolved. Original tires only lasted about 22k. 32k miles and it is at the dealer every few months.

from MB of North Olmsted
Year / Model Reviewed: 2007 ml350
Strengths: Air conditioning system and premium sound system.
Weaknesses: See above... The adjustable steering wheel could come down lower. Its a long way down from the back seat.
Summary: The SUV does not track straight it wanders. Steering does not come back to center it must be pulled back. Engine idle rough it goes up and down and at the low end it sets up a vibration in the cabin. The brakes stick but can be pushed through and then they come on quite strong and fast. Dealer was no help and MB USA was also no help. Don't purchase this car it does not live up to its so called quality reputation. Customer is not right attitude.
Similar Products Used: I owned an MDX and traded it for this car. I wish I had it back.

Weaknesses: Mechanical integrity, system complexity, horrible gas hog. The GPS mapping is poor but for $200+ they can send me an update disk.
Summary: This vehicle loves the service shop. In the 9 months I have had this vehicle, it has developed an oil leak at a valve cover shorting out a spark plug, been to service for transmission problems 4 times (hard downshift to first), rear bushings failed, CD drive failed, the SRS system failed, home link system and inside dimming rear view mirror failed and the moonroof switch broke. What a piece of junque. Thankfully, it was under warranty but I'll be dumping it just before the warranty expires.
