TL* the contact owns a 2007 mercedes-benz ml320. While the contact was merging into highway traffic, white and gray was seen under the hood of the vehicle. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. Prior to the failure, the vehicle hesitated while driving. The contact pointed out that the vehicle was equipped with a diesel engine. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (mercedes-benz of annapolis, 324 6TH st. Annapolis, md 21403, (888) 261-7620) where it was diagnosed with catastrophic engine failure. The exhaust manifold ruptured, which caused the engine wiring harness to melt. The dealer informed the contact that 'the vehicle was done'. The contact's insurance company was notified and the vehicle was awaiting inspection to determine if the vehicle was a total loss.

Years ago, while driving through new mexico, my dash and command center flashed off and rebooted. It was a little concerning because we were using the gps exclusively for our directions. There was also a transmission warning light that came on warning us to get to the nearest dealer, without shifting gears. This happened perhaps 10-15 times until I was able to detour to the mb dealer in albuquerque - absolutely wonderful people. They told me that it would sound strange but the problem was caused by a faulty glow plug sensor or module - which they didn't have in stock. Since our destination was l.a., they called ahead to mb of beverly hills (bh), (also wonderful people) to check if they had one. they (mb of bh) couldn't find any other trouble codes except a few power spikes so they replaced the alternator, under warranty. They even rushed it due to a family emergency back home. It happened on the way back several times, then didn't happen again until I drove to colorado in 2013. It happened repeatedly while there. I called the mb dealer in denver who was supposed to have the service department call me back - they never did. I wonder if it has something to do with a change in altitude or lower humidity (electrostatic discharges)- perhaps extended driving as I drove 1,200 + miles to co in 20 hours stopping only twice for fuel and once for a hotel. any ideas folks? *js

I purchased a used 2007 mercedes ml320 cdi on march 12. after a week of driving - I inspected the engine compartment (i usually do). I noticed engine oil dripping (small but noticeable amount) on the serpentine belt. I did not think it was urgent - so I took pictures so I can send it to my seller to claim warranty. on march 23, I was driving with my family on I-65. suddenly, steering became very hard. it was a curving highway so I was forced to go into other lanes. lucky, traffic was not heavy so I did not swerve into any other vehicle. I was able to wrestle with the steering wheel on time to move away safely. also, at the same time we lost steering, the battery light went on. after stopping, we popped the hood and immediately noticed the same belt mentioned earlier had disintegrated into several pieces. we called for a tow vehicle. mercedes benz fixed the problem for $300 and assured me that there IS no oil leak. 200 miles later, I got home - and saw the same leak, same spot. oil was dripping from the turbo to intercooler hose joint (which was just above the serpentine belt). I did some research on the internet and the only similar issue I found led to dtb s-b-09.20/29. I asked mercedes, but they say its not covered under warranty. so I am currently researching to fix this problem permanently. *tr

Dear nhtsa, my '07 mercedes ml-320-cd was bought 'new'. The defect of a run-away, hi rpm revving-up of this diesel engine was first experienced approx 21/2 months ago. It happened shortly after having it parked at a local shopping ctr from which I drove it onto the main street ata moderate speed of less than 20 mph. Suddenly the engine revved up to maybe 5 or 6 000 rpm causing this SUV accelerate beyond control. I had to use both of my feet on the brake pedal before pulling over onto the curb where I turned off the ignition . after that, this SUV would not restart again for a while, like 20 or 30 mins. since my residence was only about 2 miles away , and after re-starting it I chanced driving it home. I have reported this incident to the mercedes hq at montvale nj via the built-in satellite system and subsequently to the lubbock, tx mercedes service ctr while being there. they found nothing wrong and sent me on my merry way back to my residence in roswell, nm, about 200 miles away. I kept driving this vehicle very carefully , of curse and lo and behold it happened again on 19 jul '09 while on a trip to phoenix via albuquerque. well, I had a trip interruption and delivered it to the dealership in abq where I bought it for yet another service call. They kept it for 3weeks and informed me that the lemon law does not apply and a buyback was not possible. I am personally petrified using it to the extend that I have refused driving it anymore, I can not afford having an accident with it with me at the wheel. the communication with the dealership IS positive but their trade-in allowance IS so low that it would be a financial hardship trading it in. in conclusion I wonder what you can do for me, besides the atty generals office in santa fe on my behalf. of course, all documentation and interviews by mercedes personnel IS avail as well as their letter of their cop-out, say denial of accepting it as a 'lemon'. *Tr

On 2/16/09 while out driving we smelled an electrical burning odor inside our 2007 ml320cdi just as we arrived at our destination. we looked around the vehicle and under the hood to try and figure out what was burning and found nothing unusual. The odor was gone by the time we got back in the vehicle. we continued to drive the vehicle with no problems and no odors until 2/21/09. on this day while running errands my husband got out of the drivers seat, closed the door while I remained in the car and I saw the drivers seat back (near the driver's door) start smoking. the electric heated seats were on at the time. I immediately turned off the heat to the seats and then shut the vehicle off. there was a burn hole, about the size of a nickel, in the seat cushion. on monday I called our mercedes dealership to report the problem and they told me to bring the vehicle in as soon as possible, but do not use the heated seats until they can make a repair. we took the vehicle to the dealer on 3/5/09. the service advisor told us they have seen some problems like this with the seat bottoms, but not the seat back. we were told we would be able to pick up the repaired vehicle on 3/6/09. on 3/6/09 we were called by the service advisor and told the seat back had to be ordered from germany and it will take at least 2 weeks for them to receive it. we picked up the vehicle on 3/6/09 and are waiting for the part to come in. no one was injured by the burning seat, but someone could have been burned. It was hot enough to melt the leather. the thick, white smoke filled the front of the passenger compartment and the smell was awful. the seat was not just smoldering, it was burning, although I never saw flames, it was like a toaster glowing. *Tr

- 11008323Complaint Headlamps fogged or droplets forming. Cause Due to its outlet openings, the headlamp is an "open system". This means that acidic gases, moisture, dirt and exhaust gases can penetrate into the headlamp. This can lead to the formation of condensation on the lens of the headlamp. The headlamps comply with all applicable US standards and regulations. Remedy Check housing cover of lamp unit for natural fogging or condensation as per LI82.10-P-078301. If a reduction in the degree of fogging is visible, the desiccant packs can be used once the condensation has completely evaporated. Note: Order service covers and desiccant packs based on the validity description. 1. Remove headlamps. 2. Remove all grommets from outlet openings. 3. Seal vent openings with sealing profile. Important: All openings must be sealed carefully for the pressure compensation diaphragm to work properly! 4. Remove existing service cover. 5. Place desiccant packs into the new service covers and bolt down (Picture_01). 6. Glue the new diaphragm onto the intended surface at the service cover (Picture_02). Note: The bonding surface must be clean and dry. 7. Attach service cover with desiccant pack at headlamp. 8. Install headlamp. To ensure that the desiccant pack (absorption) acts effectively, the headlamp has to be air-sealed. Observe or check the following points for this: 1. Seals at the central connector must all be present and correctly fitted (Picture_03). 2. The new transparent diaphragm must be correctly bonded (Picture_04). 3. Check headlamp housing for any external damage.
- 11008091Complaint During a phone call, the called party has difficulty understanding/cannot understand the driver, or interference/background noises are audible to the called party during a call.

- 11007974Complaint Headlamps leaking or fogged Cause The fogging of the headlamp is a natural phenomenon which can occur under certain climatic conditions. In contrast to a leaky headlamp, physical fogging does not result in a technical impairment of the headlamp. A leak test must be performed to determine if physical fogging exists or if the headlamp is leaky. Remedy In advance, observe LI82.10-P-078301 "Headlamps or Front Fog Lamps Leaking or Fogged". 1. Prepare headlamp/check for external damage: For headlamps with a closed system 1. Check the headlamps for any external damage and check also for correct seating of the Gore-diaphragm/correct latching of the cover caps. 2. If the headlamp exhibits any external damage, replace the headlamp. For headlamps with an open system 1. Check the headlamps for any external damage and seal off the vent then make sure the cover caps are latched correctly into place. 2. If the headlamp exhibits any external damage, replace the headlamp. Note: A headlamp with external damage is not a warranty or goodwill case. 2. Leak test of headlamp with overpressure: Connect test adapter to pressure tester. (Figure 1) Check test adapter for leak tightness. To do so, connect plug and coupling (picture 2) and apply a maximum overpressure of 30 mbar. The pressure must remain constant. If the pressure does not remain constant, use a new adapter. Seal all the outlet openings using sealing compound and the given diaphragm with the plunger (picture 3). (Picture 4) Make allowance for the different headlamp variants here (there are different outlet openings). Check if the headlamp needs to be removed to gain access to the diagnostic socket on the headlamp housing. Plug the adapter onto the diagnostic socket on the headlamp housing. (Picture 5). Apply a maximum of 30 mbar overpressure to the headlamp housing. Note: If the maximum overpressure of 50 mbar is exceeded the headlamp seal will be damaged. If a pressure drop of less than 10 mbar is measured within 30 seconds, the headlamp is not leaky and the problem is down to natural physical fogging. If a pressure drop of more than 10 mbar is measured within 30 seconds, the headlamp is leaky. Note: The leaky position can be localized with the aid of soap suds. Replace any leaky headlamps. Note: Desiccant packs can be installed for headlamps that are not leaky. See: LI82.10-P-064766 Fogged headlamp, desiccant pack installed - open ventilation system LI82.10-P-078304 Fogged headlamp, desiccant pack installed - closed ventilation system
- 11007753Complaint Headlamp or front fog lamp leaky or fogged Cause Fogging of the headlamps is a natural phenomenon, which can occur under certain climatic conditions. It does not lead to any technical impairment of the headlamp. Headlamps comply with all applicable standards. If a pressure compensation diaphragm is fitted in the housing cover, then the lamp unit is a "closed system". Remedy Headlamp: Remedy 1 Clearing fogged/condensed LED headlamps and LED rear lamps: 1. Drive vehicle into workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4 F) and connect the exhaust extraction. Note: Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine and connect battery support via a charger. 3. Open the hood or trunk. 4. Switch on the lights. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation, a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (thawing progress). Clearing fogged/condensed halogen/xenon headlamps: 1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4F). Note: Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine. 3. Open the hood. 4. Switch off the lights. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation, a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (thawing progress). Note: If there is no visible reduction in the formation of condensation, check the headlamp for a defect. (See Remedy 2) It is not physically possible to defog the headlamps completely. Fogging does not impair the operation or the service life of the headlamp. Remedy 2 A Damaged headlamp can be identified as follows: 1. Check the headlamp for external damage and that the cover caps and the diaphragm are correctly seated. 2. Check the electrical connectors of the plugs and pins. 3. Check for leak tightness in accordance with LI82.10-P-078307. The test can only be conducted on headlamps. 4. If the headlamp or the rear lamp has any external damage, replace the component part in accordance with the WIS instructions. Note: External damage to the headlamp/rear lamp or faulty seating of the cover caps does not present a warranty or goodwill case. With headlamps, it is possible to install desiccant packs if the problem occurs repeatedly. Open ventilation system: LI82.10-P-064766. Closed ventilation system LI82.10-P-078304
- 11005294Complaint Rear lamps fogged up/not leaktight. Cause Fogging of the rear lamps is a natural phenomenon, which can occur under certain climatic conditions. This does not lead to any technical impairment of the rear lamps. Remedy Rear lamp: Remedy 1: Clearing fogged/condensed rear lamps: 1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4 F) Note: Do not wash the vehicle or subject it to high-pressure cleaning before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine and connect battery support via a charger. 3. Open the trunk. 4. Switch on the exterior lighting. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation -> a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (defogging progress).
