Description of the problem	Car would not start morning of 8/8. Aaa was called. Tow truck driver determined it was not the battery and towed the car to mb service. Mercedes diagnosed the following issues with my 2008 c300 with 55k miles: replace electrical ignition switch, $561 for the part. Replace electronic steering lock, $384 for the part. Reprogram both keys, $595. Labor for all of the above, tbd, as my car is still with mercedes as i file this complaint with nhtsa on 8/15. These are obviously major and ongoing issues experienced by many c300 owners, and mercedes is very well aware of the problem. They have simply found a great way to extort money from their customers, rather than doing the right thing and recalling these faulty parts before someone really gets hurt.
