Description of the problem	My car left me stranded at work. When i was leaving work my car would not start the steering was completely locked . The car would not even start the only thing that would turn on was the radio and a message of not to forget to remove your key. I could not even get the car out of gear. I would crank it and nothing, it was completely dead. I never received a message to warn me that something was faulty.. Before taking car into dealership i did my research online and spoke with a service tech at mercedes and said that it was possibly eis failure and steering lock. After so many complains like mine online i can't believe there is not a recall on this. I believe this is a safety hazard. What if this would of happened when i was driving and my steering locked? Who knows?... Is mercedes waiting for serious accidents to happen? These failures are really a call for a recall.. If there are anymore mercedes owners out there with the same problem file your complaints maybe if more of us complain they will do a recall. This is not cheap to fix it cost from $1200 to $1700. I bought a mercedes believing i was buying a dependable vehicle now i am having second thoughts after all i have read...
