Power Steering Pump Problems of Mercedes Benz ML320

Driving home on a local street at about 30 miles per hour, approaching intersection, trying to turn, all the sudden, steering wheel became very hard to turn, with no assisting power, car run over to the other side of the road, almost crash into curb. It is very lucky, there is no incoming cars, would have crash head on otherwise. Car towed to dealer, found steering hose from radiator to steering rack broken off, steering fluid splatting all over engine. Dealer stated no recall for steering hose coming out of radiator, but there was recall on steering hose coming out of pump. So this defect was not covered. I urge NHTSA to investigate this dangerous defect immediately, and issue recall to save lives.

I had taken my mercedes Ml320 in for recall work #2003040005 at motor works in hoffman estates IL. For power steering pump recall and they wanted to charge me approx. $6,000. 00 for this service which should be free. I've tried to contact mercedes and motor works with no response the clamps that connect the power steering hoses come off quite often resulting in loss of control, I guess I shouldn't expect much for a $40,000. 00 car!!.
