This is the second time the rack and pinion has failed. Once at 85000 miles in a parking lot at work in greenville texas. This time it was with a rebuilt a1carbin rack and pinion. The steering felt like it locked up. After it failed the steering of the car is impossible at slow speed even for a man. Almost hit two people but was able to avoided it.
The contact owns a 2005 mercedes Ml350. The contact stated there was an abnormal groan coming from the steering wheel when turning. The steering would also sporadically become tight when attempting a sharp turn. The failure progressed and the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer advised the failure could potentially be cause by moisture in the rack and pinion.
