> LOL@ ML being for severe off road use

Yeah, it could never win the Dakar run. Twice.

> No Unibody vehicle can be called a severe offroader

And this has what to do with the W163? You really have no idea what you are writing about, do you?

Please look at the reliability scans attached...Thanks

The ML uses the same 4ETS system that many 4matic cars use.

Please show me where the ML won the dakar rally?

I don't see it listed here:

ok. just to chime in....

problems or not...

we didn't like the way our ML320 would act from time to time...
*skyview, rear gate, low range, window switches... ect* all w/in first 80K miles
lets face it. everyone dumps money somewhere...
we get a good deal, we're ticked because we put money into it, we find a higher priced serviced car, and are ticked because we didn't jump on it...

@ some point we just pull the triger & go.

ok... now... i'm only here to gather the diesel guys back to our territory because this is like bad news bear.

lol

>>> 100K Diesels???
:: GASP :: I missed that recall notice. lol..

& in regards to the harmonic balancer, it went on our SLK320.
dealer took care of everything & i got to drive a nice C300 4MATIC Lux pkg for a week while they did so
