Failure Date: 09/04/2014

My wife was driving this vehicle when suddenly the steering locked up and almost caused her to crash. We then took the vehicle to house of imports mercedes in buena park to inspect the vehicle. Apparently the steering column was broken and they could not explain how it happen. I did some research and several other people have file a complaint and mercedes denies the problem. This is a serious issue and I recommend a recall on there vehicles before someone gets killed. We were very fortunate it happened on a back road and not on freeway.
