Mercedes-Benz ML 500 FAQ
ML 500 was a member of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class that debuted with the 2002 model year and was sold through the 2007 model year. The mid-sized SUV was a revamped variant of the ML 430, and came equipped with a powerhouse V8 engine that teamed with an automatic transmission and proprietary Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® all-wheel drive.
The final 2007 production model came equipped with standard features like 18-inch aluminum wheels, polished stainless steel exhaust tips, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, halogen fog lamps, bi-xenon headlights, roof rails, multifunction display, leather-trimmed steering wheel, AM/FM/CD stereo, LCD screen, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
What are Some Common Problems with Mercedes-Benz ML 500?
Faulty Engines
If the engine in your ML 500 isn't starting, or it's starting and then stalling, then most likely, the crankshaft position sensor on the engine has failed. This is a known issue for models from between 2002 and 2007, with 172,000 miles or fewer. The sensor will need to be replaced.
Defective Doors
If the power locks in your doors lock and unlock rapidly when you press the buttons on your key fob or on the door itself, then most likely, the switches in the doors' latches have gone bad. This is a known issue for ML 500 models from between 2002 and 2006, with 170,000 miles or fewer. You'll need to replace the latches.
Bad Power Steering System
If your ML 500 is suddenly becoming tougher to steer, then most likely, its power steering return hose is leaking where it connects at the radiator. This is a known issue for models from between 2002 and 2007, with 143,000 miles or fewer. You'll need to replace the hose. Use OEM parts for any and all repairs. A Mercedes-Benz service center can help with them.

Because they're Mercedes-Benz quality. That means they're not only designed to fit your ML 500 but also to work right the first time. It also means they won't void any factory warranty your car has left, like some aftermarket parts can. Most even carry their own manufacturer warranties, too; you can buy with confidence.
