Power Steering Fluid problems of the 2002 Mercedes Benz ML320

I was pulling away from the curb, steering wheel started making whining noises and harder to turn. I continued on city streets then to a freeway where my car began to overheat. I pulled over at a gas station opened the hood and could see fluid all over right lower driver side. It seemed to be coming from a hose by the power steering cap and the right side of the radiator. Under the car same spot right passenger side I could see power steering and radiator coolant leaking from that area.

The contact owns a 2002 mercedes-benz Ml320. After the vehicle was started, the contact heard an abnormal sound under the hood of the vehicle. The contact opened the hood and discovered that the power steering hose was fractured and fluid was leaking. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was previously repaired under manufacturer safety campaign number: 2003-040005. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 154,000.

I have a 2002 Ml320, the radio is out and the hole clamp used to secure the power steering fluid does not provide sufficient clamping causing a leak, esp/bas stays on causing low traction and the door lock. These items were recalled on the m-class 320, what happened to thes recalls.

I have a 2002 Mercedes Benz (mb) Ml320. The power steering fluid was depleting all the time from a leakage between the power steering pump and the hose. I took the vehicle to an mb dealership in georgetown, TX (garlyn shelton Mercedes Benz dealership). The repair was under recall, but the dealership still charged me $214. 16. I told them the repair was for a recall, but they would not let me take my car without payment, so I paid them to have my car back. However, I'd like NHTSA to compel them or Mercedes Benz to refund me back my $214. 16. I wrote to mb headquarters in new jersey and they sill refused to refund me back my money. I have a receipt of the repair that was done on the car and the cost they billed me. I can send you the letter I wrote to mb headquarters and the repair receipt if you contact me. I'll be grateful if you can help me from this ripoff.

On Wednesday, September 24, 2008, while driving to work my steering wheel became difficult to turn. When I left work, I noticed that most of the steering fluid had leaked out of my vehicle. Then on Thursday, a CO worker contacted me and told me that she saw a recall on the news about the steering on mercedes SUV. I immediately contacted the local dealer and was told that they did not have a recall in their system for my auto and it would cost me $110 to have them diagnosis my vehicle. I contacted the 800# that was on the news and was told that someone will get back with me. In the meantime, I am a recent single parent with a 14 year child that I transport in a vehicle that I having a difficult time to steer.
