2011 ML350 Bluetec
Steering really hard all the sudden

Thankfully I was just turning into my driveway when my steering got really hard to turn. I have a 2011 ML350 Bluetec. There was also a slight squealing coming from the engine and I thought I smelled something burning. Do you think a belt blew or something? Wow if I was on the highway I'm not sure what I would have done.....scary.

Ok upon further inspection I can see the belt at the front of the engine is blow apart and wrapped around different areas.......so next question, is this typical for 125K miles
