Description of the problem	I have been driving my c300 for the last 3-4 years and have multiple issues ranging from steering pump failure to condensor issues and lighting issues including a recall for the tail lights. Yesterday after having parked my car for almost 4 days since i commute for work and take train, upon starting the vehicle there was no ignition. I could see the lights inside the car including the speedometer was visible and i can activate the locks with key, but engine would not start. Car is standing in park position so i cannot even move it to neutral. I called mbenz road side assistance and they diagnosed it is related to steering lock. Now that i got it towed, checked with mecedes benz dealership i have to pay almost 1000$ just for this steering lock malfunction. This issue has been occurring to a lot of c300 2008 models. This should be seen as a serious issue as vehicle is totally non-functional. My work is effected and missed a couple business meetings.
