| Description of the problem | In the c300 and c350 models, there has been an on-going issue with steering wheel locks. Mercedes benz has done nothing to correct this or change the part that have been faulty, due to this problem this can leave an individual stranded with out any warning as it just happens out of no where. My vehicle is up to date on all it's maintenance, and out of no where it just wouldn't start and it wasn't the battery it was the steering wheel lock (part #2019005912). This is unacceptable as it's been a problem for many years ont eh c300 and c350 models. |
