| Description of the problem | I drove my 2010 c300 to an appointment 2 miles away and went to start the car after an appointment and it would not start... Tried having it jumped but it didn't work... Had it towed to the dealership who told me it was an electrinic steering malfunction and needed to be replaced for $1460... There was no indication that there was an issue until it jist stopped working... Unacceptable and from what i habe learned this is a rampant problem with mercedes and should be considered a recall. |
