Grabby brakes??
The first ML I drove was an 06 350 and I noticed the brake feel was very grabby. I bought my 2006 ML500 and the brakes seemed fine. Now, they are starting to feel the same way. It's like you push the pedal down and nothing....then it grabs harder than you wanted. It seems to vary day to day. Anyone else experience this? I'm taking car in for service next week and I'm going to write them up.

brake
My ML 350 2006 brakes were S L U G G I S H. I brought it in only after 2 months and they changed the entire brake master cylinder. The brakes feel fine now. I don't think it is smooth and nothing special. It feels the same as my Honda, Toyota, Lincoln and Mini Cooper. Mercedes had the worse problems that I ever had with any car I own or lease in the past (I had it serviced 7-8 times within a year for problems). Lease will expire next year. Time to celebrate?! lol...

Yeah, it's probably the 1st model out. The biggest headache for me is to drive 2 hours ONE WAY to go to a stealership and get my car fixed. You would expect the AMOUNT of money we pay we should have a GREAT car!
