“On 2/16/09 while out driving we smelled an electrical burning odor inside our 2007 ml320cdi just as we arrived at our destination. We looked around the vehicle and under the hood to try and figure out what was burning and found nothing unusual. The odor was gone by the time we got back in the vehicle. We continued to drive the vehicle with no problems and no odors until 2/21/09. On this day while running errands my husband got out of the drivers seat, closed the door while I remained in the car and I saw the drivers seat back (near the driver's door) start smoking. …”
