Description of the problem	On 9/13/18 while driving us95 in nevada , the power steering assist failed while crossing center line rumble strips to pass. There was a warning tone and an error message appeared on instrument cluster. There was no power assist. This was in the middle of the desert, so i continued driving. After stopping for a bathroom break, the steering worked again when i started the van. Minutes later, it failed again. I continued to a gas station. After restarting the van, the steering assist worked again until i got home. I took it to mercedes. The entire steering rack, electric motor, and control module were replaced. On 9/19/2019 on the same stretch of us95 in nevada, while crossing the center line rumble strips to pass, the power assist failed again. I pulled over, removed the key, closed the doors. 5 minutes later, i restarted and the steering was fine. On 8/9/2020 on i80 approx 30 miles west of salt lake city, in a construction zone, lanes were shifted to the left and then right. While moving left across uneven concrete, the power steering assist failed again (warning tone + error message). I pulled over at the next off ramp, turned off the van, removed the keys and waited 5 minutes. After restarting, the power steering assist worked again. I described my problem at https://www.
