Apr 20, 2018 It is in immaculate shape and has been very well taken care of. I didn't think twice about it when I bought it, but the more I drive the more I wonder if something isn't right with the steering. It seems very stiff for a power steering car. The power steering pump doesn't make any.

While I was driving, I lost power steering. I had to pull over and saw that my engine belt was off my engine and a pulley came off my engine. This is after the dealership had already replaced my belt just less than 10,000 before. It was a good thing that no one was hurt. It seems like this engine is defective and Mercedes Benz refuses to fix the problem. I'm afraid that someone who does not know how to handle the loss of power steering will be in a fatal accident.

Mercedes R class speed sensitive steering has little play and its measurement of hardening and softening the steering is unpredictable. Sometime steering itself become very soft that vehicle is hard to control and sometime it becomes very hard. Total random behavior, effect driving and safety.

On these songs, the duo approaches dazzling heights that could never approach. Atmosphere lucy ford free download full. Excels when he allows his obvious passion to settle on subjects outside himself, as when he tries to coax the hip-hop community toward a higher calling on 'Tears for Sheep,' or, more breathtakingly, mixes autobiographical details with flights of pure imagination. The best tracks tend to occur when he plums the psychological depths of complex characters through brainy, abstract, and freewheeling narratives that exist somewhere in a surreal netherworld ('If I Was Santa Claus,' 'Aspiring Sociopath,' 'Party for the Fight to Write,' 'The Woman with the Tattooed Hands,' the aforementioned 'Between the Lines'). At other times, however, bogs down in a more earnest self-involvement, as on the romance ballad 'Don't Ever Fucking Question That,' where the duo reaches for heartfelt with less-than-convincing results.

I was driving approximately 25 mph getting onto the highway when all of a sudden my brakes seemed to lock up. My vehicle jerked violently and I heard this awful grinding noise. I was narrowly missed by the vehicle behind me as the jerk slammed my vehicle to a halt and turned my wheels causing my steering wheel to jerk as well. I was able to pull off to the side of the road and sat there for a while and once again tried to proceed ahead and almost immediately the same incident happened. I called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to a Mercedes dealer who kept the vehicle for three days and could not recreate the issue however they stated that the yaw sensor came up as faulty during the diagnostic. I went to pick up the vehicle and as the tech drove it up it again started jerking. $1000 later the yaw sensor has been replaced but I feel like this issue is definitely a safety hazard. I am just thankful that my 18 month old son wasn't in the car with me at the time as had he been and someone hit us from behind because of the abrupt stop, he surely would have been injured. This needs to be looked into immediately and recalled as it is a safety issue. I believe that Mercedes should deem this a recall, fixing the issue for those out there who have not yet experienced it and reimbursing those of us who have had to spend $1000 replacing what is supposed to be a system put in place for safety.

The vehicle experienced sudden acceleration. The consumer tried to stop the vehicle and the brakes did not work. The consumer shifted and the SUV stopped. The steering wheel failed to turn, and the dealer stated a gasket had to be replaced, and the sudden acceleration and the steering problem were not related. Scc
