1996 MERCEDES BENZ E320 Structure Problems

FRONT SPRING PERCHES MUST HAVE BEEN RUSTED AT THE WELDING SEAM. WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH I HEARD A BIG SNAP AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR HIT THE GROUND AT WHICH POINT I LOST STEERING CONTROL. THE FRONT PERCHES MUST HAVE DISLODGED AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A VITAL PART OF THE SUSPENSION/STEERING SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HELP OUT REPLACING THIS PART. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD, OR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH, AT WHICH POINT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS. I ALSO HAD 2 ADDITIONAL PASSENGERS AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY A RECALL AS I'VE ALSO HEARD THE SAME ISSUES FROM OTHER OWNERS. THE CAR IS A MERCEDES...
