If you have one of these cars, consider getting on list first, otherwise you will wait a long time for parts.

On the other hand wait until parts are unavailable and let Mercedes give you a new loaner car

Too bad I parted with a 2007 ML years ago. Who knew! Nice to know that they are so quick to fix issues.

Those fake pedestrians could have been smushed.

Lol! 2006? Odds are if the brakes haven’t failed in 16 years, you’re pretty safe...

At least they’re owning up to it. Ahem...Nissan, maybe you could learn a thing or two from that!

Yeah.

“Park it!”

You’d have to be a bit of a Karen or Man-Karen to follow that diktat from Mercedes-Benz to the letter after sixteen years of supposedly risking your life.

Don’t drive it...even to the dealership for repair?

The towing companies are licking their chops at the windfall!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a “do not drive” recall before.

I know, but they make me laugh. I am not sure if they are just inserted in video of a Mercedes slamming on its brakes. Are their fake feet even touching the ground?

I would think if you had corrosion in your brake system, the brake fluid would look cloudy or orangish. If it is nice and clear, you’d probably be ok.

Really?

I have a 2008 ML350 that has performed flawlessly for 14 years. I had the disks and rotors replaced last year. No word of any problems with the booster.

Legs moving, but arms not swinging at the shoulders...was there not enough $ in the simulation budget? Very funny.

I was also wondering about maybe some video editing? Wheels or skateboard, rail, or hovercraft action? No apparent means of locomotion...was fake Brandon being towed or something? Very funny.

Zoomed in and saw the low-slung Roomba with a prong sticking up, connected to fake Brandon’s nether region.

Pretty sneaky, sis!

This will cause an immense traffic jam here behind enemy lines in MD...
All that welfare money wasted on an inferior product...

This is, clearly, a RACIST move by Mercedes...
