Re: [MBZ] And the blaming begins
I’m not taking sides or defending either party here, but from personal experience…. I believe that car is equipped with parametric steering. If the solenoid in the steering gear sticks, and when it does it’s typically at low speeds, the steering returns to its normal (less assist) mode. My experience with this in the W140 caused the steering to “judder” as it jumped from one mode to the other. It was a great enough concern for me that I spent about 30 minutes talking to the guys who are the absolute masters at rebuilding MB steering gears out in Vegas. They confirmed what was going on and told me to just disconnect the solenoid. -D > On Oct 30, 2017, at 9:41 PM, Kaleb C.

If she's one of those people who start turning the wheel while they're still beside the car in the other lane, you know, the ones that cross the dotted white line while they're still beside you in their hurry to cut you off as they pass you?

Re: [MBZ] And the blaming begins
Well in slow parking lot speeds like turning into a spot I have notice the power steering stiffens up sometimes. My SDL will do it too sometimes. I drove that car hundreds of miles a day and never had a problem. She says she went to pass this truck and was moving to the left lane and the steering started sticking going to the left. So she slowed down and was going to move back to the right and it suddenly jerked to the right, hitting the truck. I guess it’s possible.

Re: [MBZ] And the blaming begins
The story is the steering stuck and she was correcting and as she did the truck passed her and the right front caught the truck. That story does not seem to make any sense. She must have been in the left lane getting passed on the right. But the impact to me looks like that consistent with plowing into a vehicle that slowed down or stopped. If she supposedly turned into the vehicle that was passing seems the damage would have been quite different. Maybe I am understanding it wrong.
