A problem with the harmonic balancer could cause the vibrations, but not the power loss or the catalytic converter cracking. The ML was the first vehicle built at the Alabama plant, and has had more than its share of quality problems, especially '98 and '99 models.
My ML drives beautifully, but has been stranded by a bad harmonic balancer and a failed driveshaft center bearing. Other issues such as the cracked catalytic converter could be addressed on my terms.
