1 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2019

My car has shut off on me while driving two times and road side assistance came out two different occasion. I kept up with maintenace on the vehicle. I went to pep boys up the st from my house instead of mercedes for oil changes. Out of no where my engine light came on and I towed my car two mercedes to fix. They said my engine blew n the turbo . They won't cover it under warranty since I gave them all my maintence receipts from pep boys . This was a demo car I originally leased and had it for 2 years with 9 months left on the car. The recalls on the VIN were not fixed and mercedes is trying to send me away with a unfixed car. Please help.

2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2018

I was driving my cla in the rain on the 405n in irvine, CA at about 4pm to go to my new place of employment for onboarding. I was going approximately 25-30mph because of the weather and traffic it was very slow. I put my blinker on to merge over into the second lane and my car beeped and automatically went into neutral. I couldn't do anything, it felt like my steering locked up and I could only slightly move the wheel, my blind spot assist was inoperable, my dashboard lit up every light/warning sign it could and I could not switch gears. I had to slowly roll two lanes over into the emergency lane while it was pouring rain. I almost got rear ended because of how slow my vehicle was moving over. I did not turn the vehicle off because I wasn't sure if I would be able to restart it. I waited on the side of the freeway for 2 hours to get towed to the nearest dealership which was newport beach fletcher jones. About a week prior to this I had my battery changed at mercedes because it completely died and wouldn't hold a charge. When I got to the vehicle I was informed that 2-3 other cla's came in the same day, with the same problem.
