Overview & Reviews

Besides the addition of a Special Edition package that bundles together desirable features, the M-Class is unchanged. The complimentary scheduled maintenance program has been dropped for 2005.

• Strong range of engines, extensive array of safety features, comfortable for five, surefooted in bad weather.

• On-road handling surpassed by newer crossover SUVs, expensive for what you get.

  Disappointed Buyer - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By louise85 - September 8 - 3:33 am

  Purchased my ML350 3 mo. later, dead battery & Headlight out. Have had it in the shop 9 times in the first year, stalled @ lights, radio/stereo goes in and out, phone option purchased for an extra $1500.00 in less than 1 yr. it is obsolete.The black side panels next to the windows peeled had to be replaced.Rides very rough. Sad to say very disappointed. It was a gift from my husband for our 5yr anniversary, I look at it and only think what a waste of money. Have filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and have notified my local news station to do a story on what a terrible company Mercedes-Benz truly is

  I want to sell the it - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By Yijian - April 2 - 1:23 am

  First time SUV owner. I feel ML is really a truck rather than a car. High performance engine, very responsive handling, strong feedbacks from the road. These also come with noisy engine, rough ride (for driver and passengers), bad gas mileage. Have driven other SUVs, ML is worst in term of comfort, long distance ride will not be fun for passengers. Interior is simple and dull. Window control, cruise control and cup holder seem in strange place, not very intuitive. Lack of standard features such as seat bel sensors, trunk open sensors, trip computers. No luxury features.

  Very disappointed in Mercedes - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By DLB19 - October 11 - 10:00 am

  I have to echo many of the complaints already on this site. Weve owned ours for 1.5yrs., during which time weve spent slightly over 10k in repairs. If fact, its in the garage now. Repairs include; new transmission, brakes, wiring, and various other items. Short list of quality issues; wind noise above 50 mph is intolerable, brakes make all kinds of noise at low speed, head liner likes to fall off, paint on side molding also likes to fall off, and a never ending list of repairs, which are all very expensive.

  Horrible Car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By BobbyBobby - September 26 - 10:00 am

  This car, was just a horrible design, the "SUV" was not as reliable as I thought it would be when I heard about it. This car is horrible, and I am planning to sell mine too.

  All Wheel Drive Eats Tires in 10,000 mi - 2005 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By BEB - May 11 - 6:43 am

  My ML350 ruined a set of tires in 10,000 mile. The dealer says I didnt rotate enough. They were rotated and balanced at 5,000 at 10,000 at 15,000 at 20,000. I think the all wheel drive is eating the tires. My dealer wont do anything, no other dealer will do anything. So, at 30,000 miles, Im losing $7,000.00 just to get rid of this lemon. Pretty sad. Ive had other Mercedes, but this piece of junk is my last. This vehicle vibrates like a piece of junk. Im embarrased for M.B. They should be ashamed.
