Overview & Reviews
The M-Class' navigation system enters the 21st century by ditching the old CD-ROM-based design for a much more efficient DVD-based setup. This is the lone change as the MLs received numerous updates last year.
- Safe, comfortable, brisk performance, surefooted in bad weather.
- On-road handling eclipsed by newer crossover SUVs, gets pricey fast if buyer gets tempted by too many options.

Worst Benz EVER - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By Ovi - April 11 - 10:00 amAn ML500 Insp.(03)loaded. At 1,500mi the "check engine" light came on, Im told the gas cap was not tight. The problem persits. Took it back wks. later & dealer changed something. The light went off & later came back on. Called dealer & car kept for two days. I picked it up & light was out. Two days later on, take it back & it is now the catalytic converter. (at 4000Mi). Ask dealer & MB rep.what about when car is out of warranty? The MB rep & MB service mgr. say theyll "monitor" vehicle. I went home to find out next a.m. in my garage a leak (washer fluid).

More problems than you would expect - 2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
By rsingr - January 15 - 4:26 pmI purchased 4 Mercedes in 2003, (2) ML500, (1) 500S and (1) E500 The ML500s had fuse box fans that squealed for a half hour in the morning. Serious brake and tire problems. Each ML required new tires at 25,000 miles. Each has had the brakes replaced twice in 46,000 miles. ($1,400 for brakes) At 53,000 miles the brakes squeal so bad they are embarrassing to drive. Each has been in about a dozen times for various repairs. Top dollar, inferior quality, design problems and miserable service. Avoid these automobiles.
