What owners wrote

Laundry list of failures. Jack has almost killed me while changing tire. Vehicle fell, almost hitting me but catching side of vehicle before landing on me! Hood latch has failed on a few occasions, causing hood to open while vehicle was in motion. Air mass meter failed. Has required 5 (five!) alignments in two years. When brought to dealer's attention, was told nothing was wrong. A month later requires another alignment.

Apparently, the fuel injection system on the 1998 ml320 fails quite often....even on trucks with low mileage. ***** dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****731049.
