My Mercedes Benz ML430 Year 2000 (50000 miles) has had more than 60 problems, and 60 days of service in less than 4 years.
I had to return the vehicle on 20 or more occasions to Autonation?Smythe European (the dealer) for warranty repairs. Currently Mercedes Benz has indicated that they will repurchase the car within 3-4 weeks.
Should I get a Lexus RX?
Is it reliable?
Does it have a lot of small, medium or large problems?
I have included a list of my ML430 problems below.
