2008 with 12,000 miles, no problems - great vehicle. Will be getting a 2009 just for the new electronics.

I had my Ml320 cdi since 2006. so far done 31000km. Engine shut down twice, dealer couldn't find any reason. Sunroof can't close. Air con has smell, dealer fixed, and smell came back after few week. Recently accelerating problem...
It is a great car, very solid, good handling, very comfort....if no problem.
Thinking to trade in a Q7.

Regards
Kevin

i just want a safe car for my family. If you drive over 80km/hr and engine shut down, fixed by dealer and happened again...
Sunroof couldn't close over the weekend(was raining).
I don't think it is a safe car anymore, no matter how strong a body.
So in the market, which one i can choose, X5, Q7..anymore?

Regards
Kevin

I'm also curious, what kind of repairs were not covered?
To name a few: power steering related cost $700+, reservoir both washer and PS $600+ and several other added together to >$1000.

Was this a Mercedes warranty, or a warranty written by another company?

None of the above, reliability is better with top 2 Japanese brands.
