Power Steering Fluid Problems of Mercedes Benz ML320

I bought this vehicle from the auction in algona named whitey's public auto auction and that very day I had to put power steering fluid in because there was a leak and it was difficult to turn. I've had the power steering pump replaced and it continues to leak. I got on the internet and started to research and found out about the recall.

As I noticed in other complaints they all focus in the power steering issues, fuel / oil leaks and loss, esp option , electrical mail functions that relate with the ecu, problem with the shifter. All these are safety concerns since all the above problems can cause an accident . I have the same problems in my car and it is really difficult to operate the vehicle. The power steering is not working as the car is not in speed motion unless you use strength to turn the wheel , the esp is not working at all , the shifter is not changing to drive unless you override it and that's the only way to start it and the fuel along with the oil is leaking and all the fluids are disappearing in no time . All these are safety hazards and not just a simple problem . There should have been a repair for all of these issues ASAP free of charge from mercedes for the owners of the particular defective vehicles . Thank you in advance.

My power steering goes out alot and as well leak onto the ground I find it very hard to steer my car at times . The power steering fluid doesn't last very long it's been fixed 1 and the problem persist .

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.

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.

The dealer stated that the hose clamp used to secure the power steering fluid cooling hose to the power steering fluid cooler needed to be replaced at the cost of $1,200.

The initial recall stated that consumers who had repairs made before November 23, 2003 could possibly have the hose replaced, if found defective. The contact had repairs made prior to that date. She also experienced failures with the catalytic converter and the check engine indicator continued to illuminate on the instrument panel.
