Hello Guys! Just joined this list after having heard another member's good comments about it.

A strange squeak emits from the gear shift lever housing atop the console when accelerating. Usually, a quick slap will prolong the noise until I stop and then accelerate again. Deceleration will also end this noise. ML320 with 5000 km (3000 miles)on the odometer. Anyone else with this problem and has dealer resolved it?
