Description of the problem	Was notified by mercedes dealership that the car had "possible steering rack control head leaking. Fluid could be spatter from reservoir leaking." i was told to "replace power steering reservoir and seal ring," which i did. Less than 20,000 miles later, the car became intermittently hard to steer. Within a short time period, the car became worse and, because it was unsafe to drive due to the unexpected inability to steer, i drove to the dealership service department without an appointment. I was told that now i needed to replace the power steering rack, and replace power steering pump and reservoir.
