Description of the problem	I am going to uhaul to rent trailer. Uhaul is around 8 miles from my house. After 7 miles of driving on the road suddenly showing error message " power steering malfunction refer to operator's manual" at that time steering was super super super hard to turn. Immediately i turned on the hazardous lights. Applied full amount of power with my 2 hands turned steering wheel to right to exit the road. Slowly it moved and changed lanes and took vehicle to off the road it took around 5 minutes to off the road. I referred, manual nothing mentioned in manual. Try change mode from power manual, but no luck. Called emergency road side assistance. They don't know how to solve and even problem, but they agreed that its too hard to steer wheel when u get this message. My ml350 towed to nearest dealer and also towing guy also surprised and he felt it was too dangerous. After 2 hours mercedes service advisor called me and told me that they did not found any mechanical failure, but they have to update the software. And also they are observing my vehicle for 2 days. If it happens on highway with the speed of 70-80mph how should i control the vehicle and i will be in the accident and it will lead to anything, my wife is too afraid to drive the vehicle. I spend 60k on it. I am also too scare to drive the vehicle.
