Description of the problem	My car would not start, but the key turned over. I had it towed and was told it was the electronic steering lock, and mercedes benz dealership was the only one that can repair it. I was told that a technical service bulletin was issued for this part. I had the car towed to the dealership. I did research and saw that hundreds of cars of the same model had a problem with this part. I informed the dealer that i was amazed that there is not a recall because it is evident that there is a defect with this product and mercedes needs to address it, and i don't feel i should be responsible for the repair. My service advisor admitted that there was a problem with this part but no recall has been issued. The general manager forwarded my concerns to mercedes. They called me back and said there was nothing they could do. It is between the dealer and me, so as of now, i am probably gonna end up paying nearly a $1000 for a part that is clearly defective. There needs to be a recall on this. It is unacceptable that there is not one!
