Steering Failed problems of the 2010 Mercedes Benz C300

My 2010 mercedes C300 has a faulty electronic steering lock fail-which left me stranded sitting in the park lot about 30 minutes from home. Car would not start I tried to start my car and nothing happens. When I turn the key to on nothing lights up, no crank, no clicks, no windows and no radio. I would lock and unlock with the remote but that was about it. I tried jumping and I tried both keys still nothing happens when I turned the key. Steering wheel was locked and gear stuck in park. Had to have it towed to the mb dealership to have the steering lock and key replaced and ending costing $1,124. 00. I have read that this has happened to a whole of mb's and should be a recall. I mean really we pay to have a quality car and so far my mb has had a stinky ac that mb could never figure out how fix, taillight recall, found oil leaking from oil centerfuge cover that cost $199. 62 but yet it still leaks oil. , currently waiting for the takata airbag inflator recall from April 2016 and today is Dec. 2016. Very disappointed in mercedes and will not be purchase again nor will I recommend to anyone. Even the service at the dealership has gone down. Quality and customer service is not what it use to be.

My car just left me stranded (at home of all places). I had been having issues that day with the whining noise many have dealt with. I got home from work, and went to take the car out later with my husband, and she's dead. Roadside assistance towed her to the dealership. So far, $1450 just to replace the steering wheel lock, then they can start to investigate the whining sound. Service advisor says the 2 aren't connected and its a coincidence both the whining and steering lock failure are happening simultaneously???? please force a recall, so we can recoup this money. Mb is making a ton off of the problem. What if I had been stranded in traffic, or with my children in the car? this is a terrible safety issue, and needs to be addressed by mbusa.

The contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz C300. While attempting to restart the vehicle, the electronic power steering seized without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic steering column failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

2010 mercedes C300 has 57000 miles. Drove it 2 miles in the morning to get gonto an appt and the the car would not start. . . Thought maybe the battery but when the jump didnt work I had to take it to the dealership who said it was the electronic steering colum that failed and needed to be replaced for $1460. . . No other indication that something was wrong. . . Just stopped working. Apparently this is a common problem that should be considered a recall. . . Never getring another mercedes.

I have 2010 Mercedes Benz C300, my steering lock failed recently. This is a very common failure among C300 models (2008 to 2013). Quite a few cars are vulnerable to this failure around 5 year mark. Manufacturer should issue a recall on these parts, as they have a very bad reliability.
