Steering problem #1

My husband was going on his third deployment, he did not want me to have any car problem, so we spent almost 70k for a brank new 2011 mercedes Gl blue tech. However, less than 30 days and 1460 miles, the steering wheel quit working during a turn, it almost killed me. I have contacted the dealer (valley motor mercedes, hunt valley , MD )and the mercedes, they could not explain why this happened, they do not care about my safety and refused to replace the car. They did not care the fact I was scared to death to drive the car either, they charge such high price for a junk car, and refused to hold the responsebility. Shame on them, my husband put his life on the line to protect those kind people !.

Steering problem #2

In less 30 days and less than 1,500 miles, the brand new SUV's steering wheel quit working during the turn, the belt , the pulley and the tensioner were broken without any warning.
