After starting the car, two messages appeared on the dash board. Center gauge read: srs restraint system malfunction service required fuel gauge read: srs (in red) took the car to our certified mechanic. After his diagnostic check- he said it was the air bag module is out. Needs to be replaced at mercedes dealership.
I was driving in my car to work on the city street (santa anita Ave going north in the city of arcadia CA), within few minutes after I left the house I felt my hands get hot probably the air bag deployed and the next thing I know my car ran over the center divider and flipped over. Fortunately, I came out of the car dazed and with multiple bruises.
I was in an accident rear ending another car (straight on- nose to tail of other car) at freeway speed (55-60) and the breaks seemed like they were spongy/soft (my best description) and at that speed and direct hit my airbags should have went off, it was a pretty solid impact so much my front end and hood, frame bent.
Power steering fails, when turning into a parking space or parallels parking. This has happen for years and I was told that it can lock up . It was at one time a recall . And mercedes mention to me that the recall has ended. I dont have the money to fight this . But I have taking the car to mercedes to diagnostics and they wanted to charge me 100. 00 . When I know this problem is part of the recall.
