Description of the problem	On 21 oct 16 i went out of town and shopping at a local mall while there. I came out of the mall and the car would not start. I could read the time, see the mileage, and temperature on the gauge; however, the car refused to start. Aaa came and thought it was the battery but that was not the case. After 3 hours of sitting in a parking lot in atlanta a tow truck arrived. The car would not go into neutral so i had to wait another 2 hours for another type of truck. The car was towed to a local mechanic who diagnosed it as steering lock issue. I asked that the car be towed to a local mercedes benz dealership and have a diagnostic completed again. Mercedes benz of marietta "claimed" to have done a diagnostic but found nothing. I asked for a copy of the diagnostic mercedes benz of marietta had run and they were not able to assist. See attached email. To-date, mercedes benz has been nonresponsive to the steering lock issue with this year/model car; despite knowledge this issue has been going on repeatedly. Marty, at my local mercedes benz dealership states they have to replace a steering lock at least once a month with repair cost ranging from $1200-$1700 per car. This will be my first and last mercedes and because of their poor customer service and lack of responsiveness to this issue i could not even refer friends/family to them.
