The contact owns a 2015 mercedes-benz E250. While driving 4 mph, the steering wheel seized as the contact attempted to steer the vehicle to the left. The contact stated that the brakes disengaged simultaneously and was unable to be depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (mercedes-benz of eugene, oregon, located at 2200 martin luther king jr blvd, 97401 (541) 687-8888), but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. In addition, the dealer stated that the battery was weak. The battery was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and offered to evaluate the vehicle over a four week period. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.
The power steering stopped functioning suddenly while driving and I was unable to make a turn except by substantial manual force. Fortunately I was not on a highway and at 20/25 mph able to pull immediately off the road. The dealer repaired it and said that it was a computer system issue and that they were aware of it but had not notified customers. And apparently they haven't done so yet or notified the ntsb because nothing shows on this website. The occurred over 6 months ago so I am shocked that it hasn't been dealt with.
