On 3-22-2021, my car was rear ended. The car that that rear ended my car was going at a high speed: the neck rests opened due to the accident. The air bags did not open. I noticed that there was a recall on airbags for 2011 Mercedes but no recall for my VIN. How can I know that my air bags function?

I have received notice for 2years about this bag recall, but every time I speak to someone at Mercedes Benz South they tell me ' the part not in yet, they will call me when it comes in.' I am documenting every conversation that I have with Mercedes-Benz because if something happened to me while driving that car they will be responsible.

I was driving home from work at approximately 1:30 pm on a clear, sunny day, about a minute away from my home. The road conditions were good, and there was no traffic. I stopped at the corner to make a left turn. As I proceeded to turn, the car suddenly accelerated. I immediately applied the brakes, but they did not engage. I had no control of the car. It jumped the curb ( caught on property owner's camera, going air born), as I continued to brake as hard as I could with the car increasingly accelerating.I crashed through a fence and hit a pole which stopped the car deploying both driver side airbags. There was severe damage to the front right side of the car, and it was totaled. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance.my injury was diagnosed as acute L1 compression fracture along the superior endplate with mild anterior wedging. I was referred to an orthopedic specialist and have not returned to work due to pain and elevated blood pressure. To make matters worse, two days later I was issued a warning for failure to control speed!@&!

Takata recall, I have a 2011 mb that I have received a recall on for replacement. This was received in February 2019, and here it is Sept 19 and nothing has been done. I depend on this car daily for business and driving usage, but recently read where a person was hurt from this issue. I have clients, family, and friends who ride in this vehicle. I have no replacement nor time frame of repair. My complaint is that my vehicle has been sidelined for repair and it should be replaced by mb or takata. I am screwed and no one cares! I have recall paperwork from mb. The car is unsellable, untradeable and undriveable due to safety. What am I supposed to do? this is unconscionable and mb should replace my vehicle at sticker price!

"takata recall" Mercedes-Benz has consistently been pushing back the repair date for my vehicle. The initial repair date was August 2018, which then a letter received noting it would be remedied in December. When December arrived, my local dealer noted that my VIN shows that there is no longer an expected repair date. I contacted Mercedes-Benz directly and they just noted that there is no remedy expected anytime soon. The company has also refused to provide a vehicle in the meantime while a remedy is being found. Personally, the takata airbag issue is worrisome to myself and my family and the fact that Mercedes-Benz does not feel any sympathy and will not provide another vehicle due to the major safety concerns is simply unprofessional. Many other automakers is providing vehicles to their clients, and Mercedes-Benz should be doing the same. They must realize they people do travel to areas they do experience high corrosion rates and therefore, they are more likely to be affected than the average vehicle. Mercedes-Benz should really rethink their stance on these recalls for their clients.
