I have been finding a lot of posts about the 2008 C300 EIS failing - anyone know of a recall? Any workouts with MB? This just happened to me, waiting for roadside assistance now.

I have a c200 2009 w204 with the same problem my "evl" steering lock is damaged. Is it possible to replace it with a second hand unit or do you have to order a new unit.....

2008 C350 with 75K miles and this just happened to me as well. $1,100 parts and 4 hours labor to replace. Such a strange piece to have mechanical failure. I swear certain parts on these cars have an doomsday/self-destruct date programmed where the part just craps out all at the same time. And just for a little extra salt in the wound MB Roadside Tow partner jacked my front bumper while loading the car onto a the flat bed. Oh well, free bumper repair and repaint and a couple of extra days with the 2014 C-class loaner.

thermostat replaced
blower motor replaced
pulley tensioner replaced
pulley belt replaced
Totaling around $2500 in non-warranty repairs...
I hope this doesn't happen to me.
