Used 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Consumer Reviews
I love this SUV!
I test drove the BMW and Lexus SUV's and the Mercedes won hands down. I would never have bought this if it wasn't for the new design. I think the 2005 and prior models were very unattractive.
Another Mistake
After having numerous problems with an 02 ML-320 we decided to try the new ML and to step up to the 500. Within 2 weeks the car began to "shudder" at lights and the headlights dimmed. The dealer kept the vehicle for another week and changed some electronic component which cured nothing. The car is very powerful and gorgeous.

My new ML
Great SUV, value considering the price of competition. Solid, strong, responsive and nice updated styling. Get it, you won't be sorry.
2006 ML350
I bought the car in May 05 and returned it within a week due to transmission problems at low speed. When in traffic there is a loud bang when upshifting or downshifting between first and second gears. I received the following comments from the dealer: 1. The vehicle is operating within normal limits 2. The vehicle has to adapt to the driving pattern of the particular driver and has a "memory" that can only be reset if the car is driven from 80mph to 0mph without braking and coming to a complete stop. 3. The vehicle needs software updates. After the 6th return I made a huge stink and they replaced the transmission. So far everything seems to be ok but I no longer have confidence in MB.
Needs a little work.
After driving this vehicle with a slipping transmission and screeching brakes for the last 4 months along with 5 trips to the dealership I think MB needs to work out the kinks. Although, when it does work, it performs beautifully. I just hope Mercedes starts making them a little better.
