| Description of the problem | The electronic steering control lock module went out on my car. This seems to be a reoccurring issue with any "w204" 2008/2009 mercedes benz model car. I've documented over a few hundred cases alone on the forums online. This is a dealership only fix and should be recalled. Basically, security system in the car that lets the key communicate with the ignition system goes out and the car will not start. It's a $1200 fix minimum.. |
