2 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2024

Contacted mercedes because dealer said it was a common problem. Airbag light was on. I was told that airbags could unsafely deploy as driving the vehicle and the issue was connected to the steering column. After looking online, I found that there are several drivers that could be in unsafe conditions while driving the car who reported the same thing. I contacted mercedes to advise and mercedes was dismissive. My concern is for innocent people that could be in danger because of mercedes defects or possible negligence in addressing the safety issue that could lead to the loss of life.

7 Steering problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2018

I was told my battery did not pass medtronics testing during scheduled maintenance service but I chose not to replace battery at that time, exactly 1 week later my car does not start while out running errands. I try to jump start vehicle and still unable to start it. . . I have it towed to the dealership it was at 1 week prior. They replace battery at $425 then tell me that my car still won't start. They run other diagnostic tests and tell me that my key is not recognizing the steering wheel; that the steering wheel lock module needs to be replaced at a cost of $1409. My car is still under warranty although, but I am being told that this steering lock issue is not covered under warranty.
