Had exact same symptoms 2 weeks ago on my 2014 ML. Dealer repair invoice says they replaced a code control unit. Working fine since then.

There is a coupler that breaks that connects the motor to the drive. The coupler can be replaced separately.

You have to search for the old threads, try the W211 forum. Basically what happens is that if you have easy entry/exit on, if you put weight on the steering wheel while it's being moved, it's very easy to snap the coupler. There's a long thread somewhere about how to replace the plastic part. After reading it, I disabled my easy entry/exit feature.
