Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz ML350 owners report experiencing engine stalling issues, often attributed to problems with the fuel system, air intake system, or ignition system. Additionally, a faulty crankshaft position sensor (CPS) may cause the engine to stall, particularly when hot, and a simple test with cold water can help identify this issue. Some owners have encountered ECU faults that necessitate checking the wiring, especially during recall services, while others have noted that failed exhaust system components, like a muffler, can lead to a louder engine. Diesel models may face stalling due to issues with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) needing regeneration. Diagnostic tools like the iCarsoft MBII can assist in identifying fault codes, such as those related to exhaust back pressure sensor issues. Furthermore, engine oil leaks have been reported by some ML350 owners, and there have been class action lawsuits concerning engine problems, highlighting known issues with certain models. It is recommended that owners consult a certified mechanic or authorized service center to effectively diagnose and resolve these stalling issues.
