| Description of the problem | Driving the car in the highway and steering wheel locked at 40 miles per hour (miracle that i did not have and accident. Sent the car to the dealer multiple times and said it was a electronic (software issue ). Same problem came back after trying to turn out of a busy street. Car is at the dealer and i do not think they know what is the issue other than replace all kinds of parts. I need help since mercedes does not feel that is a problem that should mobilize their efforts to resolve- i guess if i had let the car get to the ditch and crash they would be more responsive. The car still at the dealer 2/14/19 |
