| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My biggest concern with the ml320 that i have owned since 2002, but not the only concern would be the braking system. i complained from a couple of months into buying this vehicle that i did not feel safe. the vehicle brakes goes into a locked position if you drive over a bump, man hole, or if it rains the suv skids as if you are losing control of the vehicle. the bas esp light comes on often, which warns you that the braking system is not working properly, it is on as i am complaining now. i have taking it to the dealership on more than one occasion complained over the phone with this issue and many more. the dealership replace a switch i believe maybe in 20002. the eps have come on even after that. i am very fearful when it comes the braking especially in rain or ice. i have had so many issues with this vehicle, i will not recommend it to anyone. this vehicle has been a nightmare! mercedes benz would not purchase vehicle back but offer to make things right with repairs. *jb(... yes the brakes lock whenever you press the brakes, almost skid without stopping vechicle...especially scary in rain or running over a manhole cover. it very weird.....braking system light come on often bas light)*smch |
