They don't want it to. MB doesn't make any money off of your 200k ML. MB makes money from you buying a new ML.

Yup. You can't expect it to be trouble free at 200k. The upside to OBD is that it can detect problems before a complete failure.

Ummm, you do realize that 4 times in 5 years isn't good, right? I've been stranded 2x in 13 years of driving, and I've had some pretty crappy cars.
