Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz ML350 owners report experiencing starting issues attributed to the battery not holding a charge, often due to a low or dead battery and poor connections between the battery and starter. Many owners find that inspecting the battery and checking terminal cable connections for corrosion is crucial in addressing these problems. Additionally, the cost of replacing the battery typically ranges from $299 to $312, which is an important consideration if a replacement is needed to resolve starting difficulties. Regular maintenance, including checking the battery's charge and cleaning corrosion from the terminals, is recommended to prevent these issues. Furthermore, since a car battery generally lasts between 3 to 5 years, owners with older batteries may need to replace them to ensure reliable starting performance.
