I have a 2008 ML 3.2DiD with 90,000 kays which is now up for replacement. I stumbled on to this site looking for info on the MN. I was certain that Mr Bitchy would have taken the opportunity of a new model with a new donk to fix all of the problems. It doesn’t look like they know how.

I’ve had steering rack and ball joints replaced under warranty at Knox Mitsubishi. To date I’ve been happy with their service guys. I’ve had the last 3 services done by Repco, but they’ve not solved the problem…

I fell out of love with the ML at about 60,000km when it developed a jerky throttle tip in. This is particularly annoying & even dangerous when driving on wet & winding roads as the throttle transition from off to feathered to on gives a big burp then a surge of power. Enough to unsettle the vehicle (and passengers who think your driving sux).

Performance is down, fuel consumption is up from 8-9 l/100 to 11ish l/100. I’ll insist that after the 90,000 service it gets taken for a test drive.

hi pete, have your manifolds claened out , they will have carbon build up, due to bad diesgn, we had a lot of problems with our triton, the service guys pretend to know nothing about it, bull , most tritons have the same problems. good luck. big ash

I have an MY07 ML GLXR 3.2 DiD dual cab that I have owned since new. Its been running well with good fuel economy until recently. The engine now has about 150000klms on it and it has developed a misfire at around 2400rpm to 2500rpm. To me it seems like its starving for fuel. The engine appears to be ok below and above these figures although I have notice a decrease in power. Does anyone know how to eliminate this problem? I hear some talk of an air sensor problem. Can I just replace this and problem solved?

Have just bought a 2007 Triton GLXR dual cab (manual) with 83,000ks on the clock. I discovered it surges/bunny hops at 2500 revs in 1st and 2nd gear but seems fine at higher revs and when cruising on the highway. Got 8.5 l per 100 k on a trip from Newcastle to Ballina but the surging appeared after that. I have had the car less than 2 weeks. I havent contacted the service department yet but will be doing so tomorrow. I wish I had done my research a little more thoroughly before buying this car. Hope it wont be a lemon.

Its the sort of club I would prefer not to have joined. Yep, I purchased my 2.5 turbo diesel GLXR Triton in early 2010. Almost staight away I thought I noticed minor “surging” when driving (literally) at a crawling pace in built up traffic.I notified the Dealer however it was dismissed. When travelling on the F3 highway back to Sydney the Triton suddenly dropped speed ( I thought I might have knocked it out of “cruise control”)and lost power. I was able to drive it home however now I get the constant surging at lower revs but it clears with some heavy foot to accelerator.
