problem #1

Jul 211999

ML320 4WD

  • miles
Total electrical failure after stopping, towed to dealer in va. For repair. Locks popping up and down like a machine gun, dealer has "fixed" 3 times, cd player failure after a month, dealer replaced complete unit, dash warning lights were either off at starting or some on or all off, dealer found no problem, seems to have healed. We do not trust the vehicle which we purchased new anymore. We are constantly awaiting something else to go wrong.
