Took car to dealership for recall service on driver airbag module, after driving away once job was finished noticed I was unable to turn steering wheel and the steering wanted to lock while driving.SRS light remained on. Smoke came out from under the hood and car was not overhearing, I called dealership and service advisor was gone and was not offered any additional help. I drove car slowly to my home and parked it on the street because I was unable to drive to the driveway. I opened hood and smoke was coming from power steering reservoir and also leaking fluid.I did not have any issues driving my vehicle prior to this recall service. I was put endanger along with my 2 kids and now having to fix other costly repairs and have no additional vehicle to drive. Flie size of picture exceeds upload limits.

The brakes failed while driving my 2007mercedesbenz.5th time. I leased a mbenz 2007 C230W from bill ussery Mercedes January 2007.2 weeks from purchase brought the car into service told them the car would shake vigorously when pressing on brakes to slow down from 40mph or more. Told nothing was wrong. 2months later brought car back and car was shaking when braking. Confirmed the shaking and brake rotors brake pads, brake discs were replaced, front suspension loose/tightened. This has occurred now on 5 separate occassions. Ongoing since February of 2007. I felt unsafe in the car. Called mbusa on 4 separate occasions beginning in October til now. Claim was filed and I never heard back. On may of 2008, my brakes did not work while traveling on the interstate. I went to slow down to exit, no brakes!car shook worse than ever!had the car towed into Mercedes. I will not drive that car again!they refuse to replace the car. Once again stated they fixed my car, to pick it up or storage fees would be charged and car impounded. I refuse to drive a car that can injure or kill me or my son or someone else. The service records on this car clearly state all of the above. Mercedes Benz refuses to accept responsibility blaming me as the cause for the rotors, brake pads and discs to be replaced 5 times in less than one year. They won't test drive the car on the interstate to simulate what happened to me, but they want me to come get the car and drive it?I am still without a car and I paid for this lease in full 2yrs. I will never drive it again. No one should have to drive it period!I have never had problems with Mercedes Benz and I love their cars, but this one in particular is defective. Please help me. Thanks.
