Second year driving this car (Bluetec) Constant putting

Second year driving this car (Bluetec) Constant putting me into limp mode due to EGR valve issue. I absolutely regret the day I bought this and if I could light it up knowing I can’t loose on it, I would do it. Very slow in city and feels very heavy. Tailgate won’t open automatically anymore amongst several things like driver sun visor broken, middle console opener broken. Absolute garbage do not recommend this for anyone, they discontinued this because of all the issue they had with this engine, they even had a lawsuit against Mercedes about the emission.

Best SUV ever made

I first learned about the ML350 4matic from a best friend who purchased one back in 2009. He had returned from Iraq and bought one used his first day back in the U.S. He still has that car and it has 325K miles on it and it's running great still. That completely sold me on their reliability (at least for the gasoline engine, not the bluetec diesal). I've met several other ML owners who've experienced the exact same thing with their cars well over 200K and running strong. It's like an inside secret that they're one of the most durable SUV's ever made. Besides being extremely reliable (haven't had even a single issue go wrong), this car is a complete joy to drive everywhere (highway/city) in ANY kind of weather. I live in Denver and travel up to our mountains regularly, and this handles ice, snow, DEEP snow like it was nothing. It makes driving on icy snow-packed roads actually fun due to the confidence it inspires with it's AWD. In short, this is truly one of the best SUVs ever made by ANY manufacturer, and I've driven them all. I can't give it enough praise as it just does everything exceptionally well.

I'd buy it again

We looked for a smaller replacement for our 2000 Navigator (16 years and 234,000 miles) and finally chose a 2015 ML350. This is by far the best car we've owned in our 60+ years of existence. COmfortable, decent mileage, all the bells & whistles we need and the perfect size. Quick to freeway speed, cruises well at 80. Not looking to replace this one for a while. One caveat - maintenance is not cheap.

Incredible to drive-handles like a sports car!

Luxurious comfort, excellent handling, quick to the touch & a quiet ride! Loved the heated and ventilated seats. Panoramic moonroof is a spoiler and key to the cars design and look. Excellent family or commute driver. Super safe & drives like a dream!

Great Vehicle Until You Hit 50k Miles

We purchased the ML250 Blutec new from the dealer and really enjoyed the vehicle until recently. For the first 50k miles, we had zero issues. The car drove well, had great gas mileage, and surprising power for a 4 cylinder diesel. However, at 50,050 miles (seriously!) on a road trip we started getting AdBlue warnings that we only had "6 starts until vehicle shutdown". We took it to a dealer and our AdBlue sensor had to be replaced. Since we were so close to warranty period, the dealer only charged us $250 to do this. It would have been well over $1,000 normally. The car did great for the next year or so and we thought it was just fluke issue. Then around 65k miles, the vehicle started getting very loud around 50 mph. It continued to get progressively louder and we had the dealership check it out at our 70k service. They informed us that the rear differential had to be replaced and it would cost us over $5000! So we have had 2 major failures between 50k and 70k miles. Now we are left with a difficult decision. Pay to fix the current issue and cross our fingers that we don't have another major failure soon, or cut our losses now. I definitely would not recommend a Mercedes SUV based on our experience to date.

Great value!

Previously owned an ML and wanted another one. It was hard to find because they stopped making that model in 2015! It was well worth the wait.

Perfect for my family

Our family was expanding and we needed more space to tote the baby. Loved the color and the entertainment package to help calm the baby while driving. Very comfortable with plenty of legroom. Lots of trunk space.

A fabulous Mercedes in tip-top shape!

The ML350 is a mid-size SUV with all the comforts one would expect of Mercedes. The upgrades make it an exceptional value for its price. This particular unit has Navigation, rear (and 360-degree) cameras, back up sensors and a whole lot more including a tow hitch!
