Mercedes Benz 320 owners have reported 3 problems related to power steering pump (under the steering category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The front crankshaft pulley flies off the front of the engine, causing the vehicle to lose power steering. I own a mercedes repair shop. There have probably thousands of failures and someone will die when they lose their steering. Mercedes is not covering these failuresout of warranty. It affects all v-6 engines from 96-2003 . Call any dealer parts dept. And ask how often they sell one.

New mercedes e320 was purchased on may 31, 2003 from bobby rahal motorcar company in wexford, PA. The car has had two serious problems within 25 days of its purchase, both being serious and could be life threatning:
1. The seat easy function malfunctioned. It pushed the seat right to the steering wheel and almost caused choking due to pressing of the chest against the steering wheel(June 13, 2003)
2. Lost the pump for the fluid pressure to the steering wheel while the car was in motion at 35 miles/hour on a hilly curving road. Steering wheel became very hard and steering became extremely difficult - almost rigid to turn. This could have caused a head on collision with opposing incoming traffic ( June 25, 2003)
dealer repaired it but refuses to give any assurance about the safety of the car. When he was suggested to replace the car for safety issues that had occurred in 25 days, he had refused.
