I have always loved my ml & was going to purchase another until my car went up in flames last week. I AM now hearing stories from other acquaintances that they too experienced an electrical fire.

Suspension · at 101,000 miles · reported Dec 12, 2008
In november 2008 I heard a bang and my front end dropped, I pulled over and drove home slowly and then heard another bang as I pulled into drive way. The two front perches that hold the springs in place failed due to mfg defect. I did research on internet and has been happening to e320 since 1999. Dealers said they are fixing it for 8 years and then found out 8 years from mfg date not model year. A recall should have been done and no date would be used. Mfg won't pay for repairs.
Service Brakes, Electric · at 92,000 miles · reported Aug 12, 2008
I was driving at about 60 MPH when the cars brake system went on with any command. The yaw sensor on the brakes system are defective and the manufacture should replace them. I almost got into any accident.
Electrical System · reported Feb 11, 2008
My 2000 mercedez ml 320 ignition is starting but not fail to start the engine. A computer test conducted shows that the ml320 computer is defected. Prior to this problem, the same vehicle has a hose power steering which I had repaired not knowing that there was a recall on the hose power steering. Please let me know if any recall exist for 2000 mercedez ml 320 reference to the computer. Thanks.
