Year / Model Reviewed: 2007 ml350
Summary: The SUV does not track straight it wanders. Steering does not come back to center it must be pulled back. Engine idle rough it goes up and down and at the low end it sets up a vibration in the cabin. The brakes stick but can be pushed through and then they come on quite strong and fast. Dealer was no help and MB USA was also no help. Don't purchase this car it does not live up to its so called quality reputation. Customer is not right attitude.
Strengths: Air conditioning system and premium sound system.
Weaknesses: See above... The adjustable steering wheel could come down lower. Its a long way down from the back seat.
Similar Products Used: I owned an MDX and traded it for this car. I wish I had it back.

Summary: This vehicle loves the service shop. In the 9 months I have had this vehicle, it has developed an oil leak at a valve cover shorting out a spark plug, been to service for transmission problems 4 times (hard downshift to first), rear bushings failed, CD drive failed, the SRS system failed, home link system and inside dimming rear view mirror failed and the moonroof switch broke. What a piece of junque. Thankfully, it was under warranty but I'll be dumping it just before the warranty expires.
Strengths: Looks nice. Very good stereo system.
Weaknesses: Mechanical integrity, system complexity, horrible gas hog. The GPS mapping is poor but for $200+ they can send me an update disk.

Summary: I have had my ML350 for 1 year and have registered 22,000 miles. The vehicle is great. Quiet, comfortable, roomy, vault like, and zero mechanical issues. The only issue is the need to replace the Dunlop tires at 16,ooo miles.
Expect 15mpg to 18mpg depending on driving habits.
Strengths: Everything mentioned above. Did say reliable and vault like?
Weaknesses: Tire mileage.
