Description of the problem	Steering column lock failure. This disabled the ignition not allowing the car to start. From a little reasearch on the internet i found this is a common problem on many of their vehicles. This left me completely stranded and mercedes denied any knowledge of the issue although it is easy to find and diagnose with a few minutes on the internet. There is also a eis issue but mine is the electronic steering lock motor causing the problem. Mercedes needs to recall these and make it right. Thay could strand people in a bad situation. My car ran fine bit would not restart. All lock and unlock functions worked. I had a message on the dash to remove key. It had no accessory turn on or crank function.
