Description of the problem	My 2008 c350 failed to start without warning, i called aaa to come check the battery and they said the battery was good. I also noticed that my steering wheel would not unlovk when the key was inserted. I called aaa again and requested to have my car towed to the dealership to investigate the issue. The dealership called to tell me that my steering column and eis both failed and it would cost around $1500 to replace. I went on the mbusa forum website and found hundreds of owners that have had the same problem, i even saw a campaign number listed for the eis. If these defects are known issues and since they fail without warning and could cause the eis to fail and along with the steering column to lock while the driver is driving causing an accident or leaving a family stranded, i'm not to sure why this safety issue has not been recalled and addressed yet. Do we need people to die in vehicle accidents from these parts failing before we do the right thing and recall these defective parts? I'm very thankful that my parts failed when i wasn't driving because i might not be the one writing this complaint, it would be my daughters and wife writing and crying because a known defect was not corrected in a timely manner and it took my life and possibly others. Let's be proactive and not reactive!
