| Description of the problem | I went to drive my car to test my new wheels i just purchased the day before. I put the key in, it would not start and my steering wheel is locked. I thought it may be my key but after doing some research online, i found out that it's not my key at all and that it's the esl which seems to be a known issues. Thank god my car was in the garage. I'm asking for mercedes-benz to do a recall since this is a common issue. I've only had this vehicle for two months. This is a disappointment. |
