Now that's the kind of information I'm looking for ML Dude, I will further investigate the safety track record of my "other" option that I'm looking at. I do however want to get an ML. That's my first choice, hence the research and my inquiry for owners opinions and experiences.

Thanks,

Have you been living in a cave, in prison, or similarly out of touch with modern society for the past few years?

I'm trying to figure out how anyone could have missed the well-known safety issues with the Exploder.

p.s. There is a HUGE difference between Ford's "traction control" and MB's ESP.

Pete,

Could you explain the huge difference between traction controls of the 2 models for me? That's why I'm here is to learn so please educate me.

I was just released from the state penn. a few months ago, what did you say your name was???
