| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The power steering on the ml320 does not always respond to abrupt changes of direction in low speed maneuvers. on numerous occasions, i have steered to the left or right at low speed (<10mph) and then quickly tried to steer in the opposite direction. the power steering requires a great deal of force to change the initial steer direction and it is extremely difficult to change direction. this could easily result in an accident. i don't believe this behaviour is unique to my particular vehicle but is instead a common trait of all mls.*ak |
