Overview & Reviews

The TeleAid emergency calling system is now standard on every M-Class model, and smart dual-stage front airbags know when to deploy with partial force or full force. All models also feature expanded off-road capabilities with new downhill traction control and a new crawling mode for very slow and steep off-roading. Finally, a new M-Class sport package debuts this year.

• Safe, comfortable, car-like ride and handling, excellent bad-weather vehicle.

• Reputation for poor build quality, looks like a minivan, not particularly adept off-road.

  ML320 Overengineered - 2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By pickaxpete - December 7 - 10:00 am

  Car had most unusual things go wrong. Replaced 2 Windshield washer containers, rear end and shocks, all audio failed on 700 mile trip, sunroof leaked, A/C leaked all over front passenger compartment.Rear seats difficult to work. Storage area had angled floor so luggage forced against rear door and cracked the door panel.

  mechanical piece of junk - 2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By harbor905 - December 1 - 10:00 am

  three recalls -- one of which could have allowed serious injury or death -- and now the drive train is gone -- 26,000 total highway miles. the dealership has been outstanding -- but i guess they would have to be with this piece of junk. German kwowhow...ill take japaneese quality.

  an over-priced hunk of junk - 2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By jon doe - September 29 - 10:00 am

  DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! The AMG engine, navigation system and handling are all excellent. Beyond that, you had might as well buy a ford festiva. The glove box, sun roof, elec. seat adjuster, optional rooftop cargo container have all malfunctioned or broken. The alignment has needed repeated repair. We had a flat, tire was patched. Patch gave way within one week. Dealership customer service is nonexistant. Brakes now sqeak and car stalls out frequently. A complete POS.

  Disappointed - 2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By DB - September 13 - 4:50 am

  I leased my first M-class in 2001 enjoyed it very much. End of lease purchased a 2001 M-class. Currently I have 85,000 on this M class with a easy care 100,000 mile warranty. Good thing, fuel pump (towed), gas/air mixture filter, sun roof air vents, electric window control, ESP and anti lock brakes. These were all covered by a warranty with a $100 deductible each time. Normal maintenance expensive. Oil changes $200 - $300. Rotors and pads for all four wheels $1,200, plugs and wires $800. I am thinking of trading it..

  This SUV is a rocket, much better than the Yukon I had for 6 months and did not like.

  Hey, its a Mercedes!!! - 2001 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
  By mrrx - May 30 - 2:00 am

  Ive had some issues. My power switch panel went out at 4000 miles, the car rattles a bit, and it drinks gas, like its going out of style. But, you know what, I still love the car and besides, its a Mercedes. Is it the best vehicle Ive owned, obviously not, but I know that if any of us had a choice of a vehicle to be in, in an accident, most of us would opt for this vehicle. We all take a chance when we buy a car, Ive had 2 lemons in my life time, including a 2000 Honda Accord and a 2001 Diamante. All Im trying to say is that, overall, the ML320 is not bad at all, especially when you consider the safety, luxury and confidence a Mercedes provides.

  This vehicle has been a nightmare. The interior lights dim when the high beams are on so you cant see the screen for the radio and CD player. The seats are very difficult to fold down to carry large items. The battery died with no warning, the check engine light is on all the time,and we have been in for repairs constantly. The inconvenience is extremely aggravating. Plus the cupholders do not hold water bottles or coffeecups and the exterior paint chips every time I drive down the road. I will never buy another Mercedes!
