Thinking of a 2006 ML350
 

Hi all! I am back from a sojourn in Australia and now I need to get my hands on a "new MB" I traded in my Grand Cherokee on a 2006 Volvo S80 AWD and I regret it. I was thinking of the ML350 and I saw one from 2006. I have heard about the balance shafts though and it scares me. What else should i be worried about it I take the plunge on the ML?

BTW I was thinking of a Volvo XC90 then I saw this months "Star Magazine" that had the MLs keeping up with the G-Wagens at Star Trails in Colorado! If the ML can match the Grand Cherokee in capabilities I will be impressed!


Thanks!

Joe

Balance shaft, trans, & rear SAM issues are the most common problem areas on that model.

Changing fluids often should help with the 1st two issues!
