problem #1

Jan 102006

ML320 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 139,000 miles
The vehicle exhibits a clunk in the front suspension and the steering seems to be loose. I think it is defective steering gear. The car wanders over the road and sometimes starts pulling itself into one lane and then tries to go to the other lane almost causing me on one occasion to run over a Kia rio. Mercedes should have to repair defective steering gear for free.
