C250

  • 39,000 miles
While driving my 2015 C250 coupe, I had to brake hard as I was trying to avert stopped heavy traffic. When I slammed on the breaks, the steering wheel, column and entire vehicle locked up. I was unable to turn the wheel entirely. As a result, my vehicle slide into another vehicle from behind. Because both the steering and brakes locking, I was unable to maneuver the vehicle to avoid the stopped traffic. The airbags also did not deploy as they should have.

C250

  • miles
Area under steering column is exposed revealing electrical wiring which appears to be connected to the engine or something under the hood. I was told that's the way vehicle was made, no part or option to cover exposed area. It is unsafe because as I am driving on highway, city streets, etc., my knees touch the area and may jarr something lose.
