I think the liftgate issues spanned all ML, R and GL-class models in the 05-07 era. My former 07 ML350 was trouble free except for the frequent trips to the dealership to tweak the liftgate...and the problem worsened in colder weather.

My 09 doesn't seem to be plagued with liftgate issues though.

I took an R350 home one weekend prior to ultimately choosing the former 07 ML. Roomy and a real comfort to drive, great for long extended trips. Long snout made it tough to squeeze in the garage, and the large side door is not simply a perception!!!

But as someone else already quipped, it's Mercedes' answer to a question nobody asked...
