sun....

Had the vehicle been towed - even for a short distance during shipping? And if so, was it towed on all fours or carried on a flat-bed truck? Towing the ML on it's 4 wheels will cause damage to the gears, transmission...etc. The owner's manual specifies using the flat-bed trucking method when transporting the ML.

I assumed your Ml is still on warranty because it 2000 model.. Take


It to the clossest dealer and demand a loaner from them. BTW did you managed to reach your destination?
