| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There is a serious problem that is not being reported to owners of the mercedes benz ml350 with appearance packages. this is a 4 wheel drive vehicle that is being advertised as a snow capable vehicle. this vehicle with the appearance package from mercedes is a serious risk to any buyer who attempts to drive this vehicle in the snow. the fact that is not being brought to buyers attention is that it comes with performance tires, not all season/snow tires that are typical in every other 4 wheel drive vehicle. mercedes benz and their dealers are not awaring consumers of this upon purchase, which is a serious fraud when they are advertising it as being a snow capable vehicle. this fact will lead to numerous crashes because owners/drivers are not aware of this vehicles limitations and assume it will handle like a standard 4 wheel drive vehicle. nhtsa needs to bring this to the attention of the manufacturer and all registered owners of the vehicle in order to prevent further crashes. *nm |
