| Description of the problem | While driving the onboard computer failed resulting in all the warning lights going on and disabling the power steering. My mechanic determined that it was due to the blind spot sensors which are located in the rear bumper going bad because of salt corrosion. Wrote to mercedes but have not received even a response. See the attached letter in the documentation section. |
