problem #1

May 052007

ML500 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles
ML500 eats through brakes. El dorado hills Mercedes replaced brakes and rotors on my ML500 at 29000 when I purchased the vehicle, since then they have had to replace the brakes and rotors 3 times and I only have 60000 on the vehicle and most of that was highway driving. I do not pull anything, no trailer hitch installed. Appears to be design flaw or I'm being taken by the dealer.
