I was driving on shaw in fresno at about 45 MPH, the steering column just locked up and was unable to unlock or steer the vehicle. I managed to pull to a parking with a flat tire (rear passenger) and called aaa which sent a service person to come take a look. Aaa service personnel could not unlock the steering, so the vehicle has to be towed to the mercedes benz dealer. Called mercedes benz corporate office and spoke to mary. She claimed the reason was because the car is old and out of warranty. I suggested to her that it does not make sense for a car steering column should not lock up regardless of the year. I informed her that I have owned 4 mercedes benz since 1984 and this is the first time I have ever had such incident with any care ever! Further suggested to [xxx], that it could have caused a bad accident and it behooves mercedes to want to investigate the matter rather than give excuses for the incident.
