Consumer Description

MY 2000 MERCEDES BENZ ML430 HAS A SEVERE POWER STEERING LEAKAGE. TWO RECALLS BY THE NHTSA HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT MY LEAKAGE IS DUE TO SEVERE LEAKAGE AT THE POWER STEERING RACK SEALS AND RESERVOIR. I WANT TO NOTIFY THE NHTSA THAT THERE ARE MECHANICAL FAILURES RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING LEAKAGE THAT MAY BE IN ADDITION TO THE SPECIFIC RECALL ISSUES AND THE DEALERSHIP/MB DECLINES TO ADDRESS WITHOUT COMPENSATION. MY VEHICLE HAS 88,900 MILES I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND MUST CHECK THE FLUID LEVELS CONSTANTLY. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR
