Consumer Description

CAR WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND POWER STEERING FLUID HOSES FELL OFF AND POWER STEERING FAILED COMPLETELY. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND REATTACH THE HOSES THE BEST I COULD. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE POWER STEERING HOSE CLAMP RECALL AND MB PERFORMED THE REPLACEMENT. THIS YEAR, THE CLAMPS CAME OFF AGAIN AND THE RACK ITSELF WAS DAMAGED AND PROFUSELY LEAKS FLUID NOW. THE NEW HOSE CLAMPS HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE CAUSED FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE STEERING SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. *TR
