Mercedes-Benz GLK350 won't crank, no power, and steering wheel locked on Mercedes-Benz GLK350

Some Mercedes-Benz GLK350 owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle won't crank, has no power, and the steering wheel is locked. These problems may stem from a malfunctioning steering wheel lock mechanism, which can sometimes be released by manipulating the control lever while adjusting the steering wheel. Additionally, owners often face battery-related concerns, such as a drained or faulty battery, necessitating checks on the battery's condition and fuses to ensure proper power supply. Issues with the key fob or ignition system are also reported, with some owners needing to replace the key fob battery or inspect the ignition switch for faults. Furthermore, mechanical malfunctions, particularly with the starter or alternator, can prevent the car from starting, requiring further investigation into any recurring issues. In some cases, the power adjustable steering may seize, leading to costly repairs. Addressing these potential issues promptly is crucial for effective diagnosis and resolution, and regular maintenance can help prevent such problems in the future.
