RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
You did not say whether there is or is not a check engine light or any "pending" codes. This is very important info that would be helpful. After that, my next suggestion would be to perform a smoke test to identify the source of a vacuum leak.
