I have a 2014 ML 350 BlueTec (diesel) that I purchased new. In 60,000 miles it has needed only one repair-- a replacement of one of the injectors at about 25,000 miles under warranty. It has averaged 26 mpg! It is comfortable, very quiet, and powerful, and great on long trips. At 50,000 miles, I bought an extended warranty from MB USA to provide coverage til 100,000 miles. I think it is a fine vehicle and am very happy with this purchase.

Let me share with you something very important when you buy a truck that had bmw or benz on it you don't pay for repairs that's why you buy them. I take my truck to the dealership get another car to drive and then come back when the work is completed. And again if your car is in drive and you open your car door the truck automatically puts the car in park. If you attempt to change gears while driving the will not let you so don't worry about I might hit it on accident thinking it's the windshield wipers that comes on automatically anyway

I actually contemplated for 3 months and was going back and forth between 2015 ML350 and 2014 Volvo XC60. At the end, I went for the Volvo XC60 for the reasons below: 1) THE second row seat in Volvo goes flat where as in Mercedes, it stays up at an odd 45 degree angle making it useless 2) if you are 6 fee 1 or taller, your head will hit the roof in Mercedes and windshields pillars are right in your face. The Windshield is much smaller in ML350 3) THE dash layout is so modern and clean and low in Volvo. Not in ML350 As of today, I have 85000 miles of superb flawless ride with zero issues on my Volvo. I am very happy with my purchase.

The engine computer is programmed to deal with it. So far on that specific engine highest I’ve seen is 640k miles on one engine

I am so frustrated that I can see these wires. On my old 99ML320, Mercedes covered these wires with a panel so the wires won't be that visual. It also prevent my dog's hair from trapping between these wires. But there is no panels under my 2012 ML350 and I can see wire all over the place. I am wondering if mercedes neglect that part or if the dealership I got it from took it off and forgot to put it back. Please check your seat and let me know. Thanks.
