MY 2010 MERCEDES IS HAVING A SERIES OF ISSUES THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING AND THIS IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS, THERE SHOULD BE WAY MORE THEN 4 RECALLS LISTED ON THIS VEHICLE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING FOR SOME ODD REASON AS MY KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION MY CAR ISN'T TURNING ON AT ALL. THE STEERING COLUMN IS LOCKED AND THE DASH BOARD STATES THAT I NEED TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION. MY CAR HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS ESL/EIS MALFUNCTION WHICH SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 MERCEDES C300. I LEFT MY HOUSE AND DROVE 40 MINS AWAY FROM HOME WHEN I LEFT OUT OF THE RESTAURANT AND RETURNED TO MY CAR, MY ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WAS LOCKED AND THE CAR TELL ME TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM IGNITION THIS IS DEFINITELY A ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. I HAD TO SPEND $190 TO GET MY CAR TOWED HOME AND THE DIAGNOSTIC IS ELECTRICAL MY ENTIRE IGNITION SWITCH HAS TO BE CHANGED OUT AND REPROGRAMMED. WHICH IS COSTING ME ROUGHLY $1400.00 AS I GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM THERE'S A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE ON SEVERAL BLOGS AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE A IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE OR STEERING COLUMN ISSUE WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FROM CONSUMERS.
