Takata recall - I was notified when I purchased my Mercedes Benz E350 coup in April of 2017 a recall was necessary. I have repeatedly contacted Mercedes Benz of henderson, nv to replace the passenger airbag. They say there is no remedy available as of yet and none in the near future. I am concerned the airbag may deploy and injure or kill myself or my passenger. I need to know what steps to take to remedy the recall failure of Mercedes Benz. No problems as of yet but am concerned for the future.

I received a letter from Mercedes in March 2017 that my vehicle needs to have it's air bag replaced. My dealer in Mercedes dealer in calabasas has had no approval or instructions to replace the bag at that time and is not replacing my airbag. I just spoke to Mercedes calabasas on 11/3/2017 with the same answer. Please replace my air bag...its been one year and I have been worried that my air bugs will not deploy. I was in an accident and no air bag deployment when someone backed into the front of my car while I was stationary. I buy an expensive car and I have to wait over a year for a defective air bag..this is unacceptable! the fact I have had this car since it was manufactured with a defective bag is not Mercedes way of doing business. I want the car replaced if the air bags aren't replaced immediately. I am putting my 13 year old daughter and family at R
