| Description of the problem | I own a mercedes benz ml 350 2014 and never had any problems with it untill this pass friday march 31st i was driving to work that morning i same way i always go and while going around the small roundabout the suv shot of and started pulling to the left and it sounde like a piece of iron being draged on concrete. It caused me to hit and other suv and it was very scray for me so mercedes did some diagnostic testing and said that the car was fine.. I dont believe that if any car does what mine did that it would be fine something is wrong with it i am now afraid to drivr it .. I told the head office of mercedes in new jersey that the sarasota fl dealership can keep the car for a month or so and do some additional test and chech up on the engine but i have not heard back from them as yet.
