Brakes died in may, 2022 and it took the dealer to September to inspect as it was part of recall. They told me they had to order the part so i called every 3 weeks to see if it came in. In december they said they need to inspect to see if it is covered. Again they inspected and said yes it is and we need to order the part (this is Crown Eurocar Mercedes in St Petersburg). At the same time I called Mercedes USA (they gave me a case number 2-37306691522). They picked up the car in December and since then it has been the same run around. THEY ARE NOT ATTEMPTING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I am begging your department to help in this matter.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V081000 (air bags). The contact called the dealer (Mercedes-Benz of bakersfield, 5600 gasoline alley dr, bakersfield, ca 93313, (661) 451-1400) every thirty days to determine when the parts would be supplied from the manufacturer. The dealer did not know when the parts would become available. The contact stated that the failure was identical to what was listed in NHTSA campaign number: 12E028000 (equipment). The contact stated that the accelerator pedal would become stuck and would not release properly when necessary; however, it was not the floor mat that caused the failure, as noted in the recall campaign. While exiting a car wash terminal, the accelerator pedal failed to release. The contact maneuvered the brake pedal and crashed into a concrete wall. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The driver sustained chest pains, pains to the breasts, a bruised mouth that was bleeding, and a head injury. Medical attention was required. None of the air bags deployed. A police report was not filed. The insurance company was notified of the crash. The manufacturer was also notified. The failure mileage was not available. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
