ML 350 'loose" steering
Experiencing anemic steering from new (04/~5000 miles) ML 350. At any speed, I can turn the steering wheel approximately 20 degrees in either direction without response. As a result, any minor bump results in extreme left/right steering movement. Does anyone know if the above is a known issue.

Thanks

Never heard of that one before. Can't even think of why it would do that. Perhaps you should check your tire pressure. low pressure can give any vehicle a sloppy steering feel

Definitely have this checked out. With only >5000 miles it should be tight as new.

I agree with the tire pressure thing. The only ML to have speed sensitive steering is the ML55 AMG.
