2010 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class Complaint Log

VEHICLE WON'T GO INTO PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL, OR REVERSE WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TELL IT TO. VEHICLE'S TURN SIGNALS DON'T TURN ON WHEN I MOVE THE HANDLE UP OR DOWN TO TRY AND TURN THEM. IT HANDLE CLICKS AS IF IT IS TURNED ON BUT BLINKERS DO NOT TURN ON. ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN THIS ACCRUED BECAUSE THE BLINKERS DIDN'T COME ON AND THE CAR DIDN'T SEE THAT I WAS STOPPING. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN.

TAKATA RECALL

AIR BAG HAS A RECALL CALLED DEALER BEEN WAITING ALMOST 2 YRS

TAKATA RECALL. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS PROTECTING THE MANUFACTURES AND NOT THE PUBLIC. MERCEDES, IN PARTICULAR, KEEPS PUSHING ANY ACTION. IF YOU READ THEIR EXTENSION LETTER DATED 3/1/2018. HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/SITES/NHTSA.DOT.GOV/FILES/DOCUMENTS/REDACTED_-_MBUSA_EXTENSION_REQUEST_FOR_PRIORITY_GROUP_4_3.1.18_REVISED.PDF IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT ADDRESSING THIS IS LOW ON THEIR PRIORITY LIST. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE TROUBLE OBTAINING A CAR AND SHIPPING IT TO GERMANY. GIVE ME A BREAK. I COULD HAVE THE CAR IN LESS THAN A WEEK AND SHIP IN ANOTHER WEEK TO GERMANY. THEY ASK FOR AN EXTENSION UNTIL 6/30/2018. I NOW SEE THAT THEY HAVE PUSHED IT UNTIL 12/31/2018, PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE FINDING ANOTHER MODEL. I ASK THAT YOU PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND STOP GIVING EXTENSIONS FOR RIDICULOUS REASON LIKE NOT BEING ABLE TO OBTAIN A PARTICULAR MODEL. THEY HAVE HAD 2 YEARS TO DO WHAT I COULD DO IN A DAY. HERE ARE 79 ON AUTOTRADER.COM HTTPS://WWW.AUTOTRADER.COM/CARS-FOR-SALE/MERCEDES-BENZ/C+280/REDONDO+BEACH+CA-90278?ZIP=90278&STARTYEAR=2008&ENDYEAR=2009&MAKECODELIST=MB&SEARCHRADIUS=0&MODELCODELIST=C280%2CMBC350E%2CC350&SORTBY=DERIVEDPRICEDESC&NUMRECORDS=25&FIRSTRECORD=0 PLEASE DO YOU JOB AND FORCE THE MANUFACTURES TO DO THEIRS.

TAKATA RECALL. HOW MAY I ACCELERATE THE PROCESS OF REPLACING MY RECALLED AIRBAG? THANKS.

PURCHASED CAR USED IN FEBRUARY 2015, HAD TO REPLACE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT BULB THREE TIMES WITHIN THREE MONTHS. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS ON BOTH TAILLIGHTS AS THE CONTACTS ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS (BOTH SIDES) WERE DEFECTIVE. THE C230 MODEL HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE ML350 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD ADVISE THE NHTSA TO SEE IF OTHER MODELS OF THE MERCEDES HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO AVOID REAR END ACCIDENTS WHEN BRAKES FAIL. THE CAR IS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD, AND HAS NOT BEEN IN AN AREA THAT SHOULD CAUSE EROSION OF FAILURE OF BOTH WIRING HARNESSES.

MASSIVE DIESEL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN FILLING UP. THEN CEL CAME ON AND CAR LOST POWER. GOING UPHILL IN A CRUISE CONTROL, STARTED WITH 60, BY THE END OF THE FAIRLY EASY HIL, IT WAS BARELY DOING 20. WHEN FILLING UP, DIESEL LEAKED ALL OVER THE PLACE FROM PASSENGER SIDE FUEL TANK. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, CAN CAUSE FIRE OR STRANDED ON HIGHWAY. SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND MAY BE FIXED AS RECALL. 400 MILES FROM HOME ON A HOLIDAY, WITH FAMILY. BARELY MADE HOME, WITH MY WIFE LOOKING BACK IF THERE THERE IS FIRE BREAK OUT. WHITE KNUCKLE DRIVE. FUEL SHOULD NEVER LEAK LIKE THIS.

THE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR GAVE A WARNING THAT THE BRAKE LAMP NEEDS REPLACING. WHILE MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO REPLACE, THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND ALSO NEEDED REPLACEMENT. SINCE BOTH LED BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED WITHIN 3 MONTHS IT SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES BENZ LED LIGHTS. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MERCEDES BENZ USA AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THEY WOULD CALL THE LOCAL DEALER ON MY BEHALF AND SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. WE REPLACED BOTH REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLIES AT A COST OF $832.44 AT THE DEALERSHIP IN DANBURY. MB OF DANBURY REDUCED THE LABOR CHARGE BY A SMALL PERCENTAGE. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES BENZ ML350. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,702. ....UPDATED 01/13/16 *BF *TR

2010 BMW ML 350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR AIR BAG RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT, DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

ABS AND ESP WARNING INDICATORS CAME ON. WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED DAYS EARLIER AND THAT ONLY ONE SENSOR WAS BAD BUT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS QUITE OFTEN AND RECOMMENDING CHANGING ALL 4 SENSORS. I SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A PRODUCT DEFECT AND COMPLAINED TO SERVICE MANAGER. HE SAID HE WOULD WARRANTY THE ONE BAD PART AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE OTHERS. THAT'S FINE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE COMMONALITY OF THIS PART GOING BAD FOLLOWED BY OTHERS FAILING SHORTLY AFTERWARDS?

REAR SEATBELT STOPPED RETRACTING,PASSENGER SIDE.ALSO HAD ABS AND ESP WARNING INDICATORS COME ON,WAS TOLD ALL SENSORS SHOULD BE CHANGED BUT DUE TO AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BOUGHT THROUGH A USED CAR DEALER ONLY ONE SENSOR WAS CHANGED.THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THREE YEARS

IDLER PULLEY SPLIT INTO PIECES DUE TO SEIZED BEARING. *TR

REAR SEATBELT FAILS TO RETRACT, STAYS OUT IN THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION. THIS PREVENTS THE SEATBELT FROM RETAINING ANY PASSENGER USING THE SEATBELT. HAVE RESEARCHED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THE RETRACT COMPONENTS DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT YOU CANNOT TELL WHEN THE SEATBELT WILL MALFUNCTION. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT IS FULLY EXTENDED AND WILL NOT RETRACT. THE SEATBELT IS NOT OPERABLE, AND IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

REAR SEATBELTS FAIL TO RETRACT. I'M WAITING ON A CALL FROM THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS TO THE COST TO REPLACE THE REAR SEAT BELTS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM IN ANY OTHER CAR BRAND. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED ABOUT COST TO REPLACE AS CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, SINCE MY TWO YOUNG KIDS RIDE IN THE BACK ALL THE TIME I NEED FUNCTIONING SEAT BELTS. HAVE SEEN SOME OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AT VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS. PERHAPS AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ELECTRONIC KEY ANYMORE TO THE TUNE OF $1,300.00+ ON A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR, AT THIS PRICE POINT IS RIDICULOUS! ADDITIONALLY, A NEW KEY WAS NEEDED. *TR

THE LED TAIL LIGHTS ARE FAILING. MY ASSESSMENT ON THIS ISSUE IS THAT WATER AND DEBRIS ARE ENTERING THE TAIL LIGHT DUE TO A GASKET OR SEAL THAT IS FAILING. DEALER AND MERCEDES DOES NOT WANT TO HELP, AND HAVE TOLD ME THEY WILL NO LONGER RESPOND TO MY EMAILS. IM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. ITS CLEARLY A SAFETY DEFECT/HAZARD, BASED ON TRANSPORT CANADA. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, UNTIL ENOUGH LED'S ARE OUT THE MESSAGE TURNED ON.

AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. INSTEAD OF BLOWING A FUSE , FUSE HOUSING MELTED FROM FIRE AND HEAT REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HOUSING WITH ALL FUSES AND RELAYS. I BROUGHT IT UP TO MERCEDES BENZ ATTENTION AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS AS THE PART GOT REPLACED AT THIS POINT IT IS ONLY AN "ALLEGED" PROBLEM. THEY DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THEIR OWN SERVICE MECHANIC 'S DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED. I AM AFRAID THIS CAR HAS ALL THE POTENTIAL OF BIGGER FIRE HAZARD AND POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION ONLY BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE PRIOR REPORTS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND I AM DOING MY CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY IT WAS UNFORTUNATE 14 PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE WITH GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELTS WON'T RETRACT. THIS LEAVES THE BELTS LOOSE AND INEFFECTIVE WHILE DRIVING. *TR
