Common ML500 problems
I have an '02 with 80K mi., and it's been surprisingly trouble free. I occasionally have the torsion bar popping noise (goes away temporarily with silicone spray), I had the BAS/ESP light problem a few times under warranty, and the normal occasional rattles, but it seems to have gotten better with age. I plan on keeping it at least another 100K and have no reason to think it won't last. That's a good thing, because the trade-in value on these things is really, really bad.

My 02 at 25000 miles has been excellent. Early on I had a few problems of a minor nature that were easilly taken care of by my dealer and have not reoccured. Some of these were involving the MB phone/MCS.

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
i agree, my 04 has been excellent so far. only complaint is water in the signal mirrors, and the autoheadlight function doesnt always work.

Problems are few and far between on newer ML's. 2003 and up, you won't go wrong. Make sure if you buy a previously owned ML that you do a THOROUGH inspection on it, you never know what the previous guy did with it. I love my ML and its been quite trouble free, even for someone as picky as I am!
