| Description of the problem | The esl (electronic steering lock) & the eis (electronic ignition switch) went out at exactly 7 years. The command control knob also went out around the same time. All these problems are very common in these models. Mercedes benz usa is fully aware of these issues and does nothing about it! It cost u. S. Consumers thousands of dollars to pay for these repairs. All these problems come up when the vehicle is out of warranty (shocker). You'll have to pay everything out of pocket. |
