THE NOISE STOPS ONLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED OR AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH.  THERE IS ALSO A VIBRATION THAT OCCURS THAT CAN BE FELT BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL.  THE NOISE CONTINUES AS SOON AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED.  THE CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.  TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN DOES NOT CLEAR THE PROBLEM.  WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, A NOISE CAN BE HEARD COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MOTOR OR A FAN THAT IS RUNNING.  THIS CONTINUES FOR HOURS.  THE HOOD OF THE CAR BECOMES WARM TO HOT TO THE TOUCH.  AT SOME POINT THE FAN OR MOTOR STOPS RUNNING.  IF THE CAR BATTERY HAS NOT BEEN DRAINED, THE CAR FUNCTIONS NORMALLY--UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS.    AFTER A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH, I FOUND MANY SIMILAR REPORTS OF THESE SYMPTOMS BY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE OF THE SAME OR SIMILAR YEAR OF MANUFACTURE.  THE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE RECEIVED DIAGNOSES OF A BAD ABS CONTROL MODULE, A BAD ABS PUMP, BAD SOLDER JOINTS ON THE ABS PUMP ASSEMBLY'S CIRCUIT BOARD, OR BAD RELAYS IN THE FUSE BOX.  REPAIRS HAVE COST IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR WHAT IS APPARENTLY, A KNOWN DEFECT.  DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO FRIGHTENING INCIDENTS WHERE THEIR SAFETY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY THEIR VEHICLES.      I REALIZE THAT THE LAW GOVERNS SAFETY DEFECTS IN CARS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS.  HOWEVER, PEOPLE WITH OLDER CARS NEED RECOURSE FOR KNOWN DEFECTS. A MERCEDES SUCH AS MINE, THAT ONLY HAS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 100K MILES AND THAT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, HAS A LIFE EXPECTANCY OF AT LEAST ANOTHER 50K TO 100K MILES.  HOWEVER, THEY SHOULD BE SAFE MILES.    *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"MERCEDES BENZ","productModel":"ML320","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]}]}
