Bought the 2005 ml350 used last summer (2010). In the first few weeks of owning the vehicle while slowing down or stopped, the acceleration seemed to drop low enough to make the vehicle stall. No check engine light on, but took it back to the dealership and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Since then, it has happened multiple times over the year. Also, while starting the vehicle it will stall and I will have to keep retrying to start it and press the acceleration pedal to get it to finally start. (only use the recommended octane suggestions from the mercedes booklet, and follow all directions during fueling) finally, seems to possibly have a steering fluid leak. (only use mercedes power steering fluid from dealership).

I would say within a year of getting the vehicle while at a stop the car suddenly started to shake and almost stall but I removed my foot from the brake and started to accelerate some and it went away. This happened atleast 3 other times since then and it is now dec 2009. The vehicle was brand new when I got it in march of 2005. I have brought it to the dealer a couple of times and they could not diagnose the problem. Now my car is stalling out and won't start properly or stay running. I am in the process of bringing it to a benz repair shop but am not hopeful given what a mb roadside tech stated that this is a common problem and he "thinks" it's a sensor problem. Come on it's mercedes this is suppose to be a luxury vehicle with no headaches.
