DRIVING THE CAR IN THE HIGHWAY AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AT 40 MILES PER HOUR (MIRACLE THAT I DID NOT HAVE AND ACCIDENT. SENT THE CAR TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND SAID IT WAS A ELECTRONIC (SOFTWARE ISSUE ). SAME PROBLEM CAME BACK AFTER TRYING TO TURN OUT OF A BUSY STREET. CAR IS AT THE DEALER AND I DO NOT THINK THEY KNOW WHAT IS THE ISSUE OTHER THAN REPLACE ALL KINDS OF PARTS. I NEED HELP SINCE MERCEDES DOES NOT FEEL THAT IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD MOBILIZE THEIR EFFORTS TO RESOLVE- I GUESS IF I HAD LET THE CAR GET TO THE DITCH AND CRASH THEY WOULD BE MORE RESPONSIVE. THE CAR STILL AT THE DEALER 2/14/19
