Dealer got back about the benz and cost to repair it is multiple thousands because the electronic steering lock mechanism has completely failed. The cute part? Only dealers can fix this because a part has to be ordered through mercedez, and I have to supply my registration and license information because its tied to the VIN. So I can take my car to a secondary repair shop to have this fixed - this particular issue can be fixed only through dealers. Ugh! German cars are great to drive by my god they are the shittiest most terrible pieces of equipment if they need to be repaired. Now in two minds whether to say fuck it and just buy another car or put in more money in this sink pit. I should’ve replaced this car instead of my Acura! Blah.
