Description of the problem	My daughter took my wife's 2009 mercedes c300 to school and when she got into the car after stopping for coffee it would not start. You turn the key and nothing happened. Verified that the car was in park and checked all of the systems. Still nothing. Had to call a tow truck and have it taken to our repair shop. Am being told it is the electric steering lock system and will cost almost $1000 to fix. After checking online this seems to be a very common issue with this car. Since this can strand a person it should be added to the recall list. Thank goodness my daughter had only driven a few blocks away and stopped for coffee. It was in a open parking lot, but if it had been in a "not so good area" that could put her in jeopardy. This issue seems to be an all too frequent, and very expensive fix.
