The report card on the ML is not that great for a Benz plant on the assembly quality control (off the record).The growth braught more complexity, increased automation and required the hiring of 2,000 workers, for a total work force of 3,900. Most of them never have worked in automotive assembly.Mercedes focuses on quality, costs .Mercedes-Benz's foray into assembly in the United States in 1997 was a gamble.VANCE, Alabama : a new product in a new plant where the luxury maker had never made cars - and with an untested work force. Taylor, who also had worked for Ford Motor Co., said he believes the formulas the lean gurus use to rate productivity can't be applied at his plant because the M-class vehicles assembled there are sold in 135 markets."We have complexity that you just won't find in other products," he said.That complexity caused quality problems that the factory has worked to remedy. The expansion in 2003 does not include stamping; M-class bodies will continue to be produced by suppliers. Ogihara America Corp. built a stamping plant in Birmingham, Ala., six years ago to make the doors, hoods, fenders, liftgates and most of the outside sheet metal. South Charleston Stamping and Manufacturing in West Virginia produces the floor parts, roof and various components such as the firewall, floor and wheelhouse, said Allan Arrasmith, body shop manager.Since the supplier management program began in 1999, some suppliers have reduced their parts-per-million defects up to 70 percent, Tosstorff said. The suppliers whose quality improved most supply a mixture of commodities, including sheet metal parts such as door trim and panels, he said.The VANCE ALABAMA also manufacture the Benz C series that has it,s full share of problems also.MERCEDES BENZ EZS EIS IGNITION REPAIR SERVICE ;EIS, EZS, ESL, KEY, electronic ignition switch, electric steering lock repairMERCEDES BENZ Recall InformationAs part of our on-going commitment to providing you the best customer service, Mercedes-Benz wants to keep you informed on any applicable US recall campaign that includes your US vehicle, should that happen.This resource is always available to you.

This issue is often caused either by a defective key, bad shifter module, a failed Electronic Ignition Switch (EIS) also known as the EIS-EZS or a bad steering lock module (ESL). This problem can affect various Mercedes-Benz models including E-Class, S-Class, C-Class, CLK-Class, ML-Class, SL-Class, etc.NHTSA — STEERING PROBLEMS2008 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 (PAGE 1 OF 6)Need to have a recall for cars electronic steering column switch failure. Key switch failure caused steering column to lock while vehicle in motion. Unable to turn or pull over to side of road. Car engine stopped in middle of city street. Very dangerous situation. Driver and passengers unable to get to or no where to go for safety due to high volume of traffic. There are many numerous complaints and issues pertaining to the malfunctioning key switch should be investigated and car recall initiated to upgrade to a safer more reliable part immediately.Steering wheel will lock disabling the car from being started.the key will turn but the car will not start. Good thing it was parked on driveway !we are unable to move the car whatsoever, shift mechanism is locked as well disabling the movement of carkey ingotion that needs to replace cost me $1200+.. I just bought the car 7 months ago I have no warrant.. I google the problem and it's a common problem that ppl have plz investigate this problem cuz it cost a lot of money to fix and I'm out of a car for a week.Vehicle parked and locked. When I attempted to unlock vehicle with remote control, vehicle would not unlock. Door had to be opened manually with "key". when attempting to start vehicle, no warning lights went on in position 2 and car woud not start in position 3. towing company was called. Was unable to start vehicle. Vehicle towed to mbz dealer. Dealer confirmed that the electronic ignition steering lock malfunctioned and required replacement…$1,500.The steering wheel locks up and will not move. Dealership and web state this is a common problem with this model of the car and the EIS and ESI switches need to be removed and replaced.Ordinary day at my job, got off and went to my car and put the key in lights in the instrument cluster came on and message was " remove the key" turn the key to accessory nothing happens, turn it all the way to start the ignition nothing happens, the vehicle is stuck in park and there is no way to move the shifter. After a research online and few phone calls I found out that this is a very common problem among Mercedes vehicles. I took it to the dealer they did diagnose it for steering wheel lock and for me $1,300 in repairs. I do believe this should be a recall or at lease Mercedes-Benz of USA take it's part and reimburse the parts since it's a very common problem. I'm not happy at all of the way they deal with this problem.Possible symptoms of a failed Mercedes-Benz include:Key does not turn in the ignition due to failed EISKey doesn’t turn during cold weatherKey may turn, but the instrument cluster lights don’t turn onUnable To Turn The Key, Unable To Start The CarCan turn the key but car won’t startMercedes key intermittently worksPush start button no longer worksCommon causesMercedes-Benz ignition switch (often referred as immobilizer module) can become faulty and in some cases due to user error. For example, some common reasons why the ignition module failed are:Low battery voltagePower surge dueConnecting jump starting cables while key is in the ignition.During any of the above scenarios, the EIS-EZS may lose its memory. While it can be diagnosed with Start Diagnostic Scanner used at dealerships, it can’t be repaired with this scanner. Mercedes dealers don’t repairer a bad EIS-EZS module. They will recommend that the module be replaced. That’s not necessarily the only solution, see alternatives below.How to fix Mercedes Benz Ignition Switch ProblemsStep 1Diagnosing Mercedes ignition problems isn’t a simple DIY job. You may consider taking your car to the dealer or an independent shop and have them troubleshoot the problem. If they come to the conclusion that the Ignition Switch (EIS-EZS) is the culprit you will be told that the switch will need to be replaced. This is an expensive repair that can cost several hundred dollars.2-You have a few options here. Have the dealer install a new ignition switch, and they will program it to match the VIN of your Mercedes-Benz. Many owners go the route of installing ignition switch, ECU, shifter module and other parts from a donor vehicle. You can’t replace the ignition switch only with one from a used Mercedes-Benz. Several parts need to swapped because the stored VIN needs to be the same in all of them.There is also a third option, and it may be the cheapest way to fix Mercedes ignition switch module. There are companies that can repair Mercedes-Benz ignition modules. You will need to remove the ignition module from your Mercedes-Benz and ship it one of these companies that can test and repair the EIS-EZS. Once the module is repaired it is returned to you.Besides the fact that this is a lot cheaper than installing a new ignition module, it also doesn’t require any programming or coding. The VIN stored in the Ignition Module (EIS-EZS) matches that of the car; it’s your old module after all. Just install it and you are ready to go.Mercedes-Benz Recalls 841,000 Vehicles for Takata Airbags [UPDATED]MAY 20, 2016 AT 9:10 AM BY CLIFFORD ATIYEHSeveral Mercedes-Benz cars, SUVs, and vans have officially been recalled as part of the massive action concerning exploding, shrapnel-shooting Takata airbags.The company has just called back 705,000 passenger vehicles and another 136,000 Daimler-built vans in the U.S.Affected cars include the 2005–2014 C-class, E-class, GL-class, M-class, and SLK; the 2006–2012 R-class; and the 2011–2014 SLS AMG.
