Power Steering just died

I was on my way to drive from LA to SF and my power steering just failed on the 5 in Santa Clarita. Thank got there's a Mercedes dealer in Valencia and this didn't happen out in Bakersifield or something.

The car just got a new IC pump from the dealer a few days ago. Maybe they messed something up with the power steering? I'm getting the error message to visit workshop in red.

I'm just waiting for the tow truck to take the car to Valencia dealer. I have to be at work tomorrow morning in SF so I hope they can get everything sorted out ASAP.

What happened with this?

I know you're driving e55 but still, power steering going bad on the freeway is no good... How many miles on the odometer?

Got it sorted out. I think the SC's belt shredded and debris knocked the power steering house off.
