While driving my 2015 C250 coupe, I had to brake hard as I was trying to avert stopped heavy traffic. When I slammed on the breaks, the steering wheel, column and entire vehicle locked up. I was unable to turn the wheel entirely. As a result, my vehicle slide into another vehicle from behind. Because both the steering and brakes locking, I was unable to maneuver the vehicle to avoid the stopped traffic. The airbags also did not deploy as they should have.

Area under steering column is exposed revealing electrical wiring which appears to be connected to the engine or something under the hood. I was told that's the way vehicle was made, no part or option to cover exposed area. It is unsafe because as I am driving on highway, city streets, etc. , my knees touch the area and may jarr something lose.
Takata recall: to date nothing has happened. However, my auto is listed in the airbag recall notice as having defective grounding in the steering column which could lead to a premature deployment of the airbag.
