"takata recall" I bought my car used in January 2017 with an open recall from January 2016, it has been almost 2 years now and Mercedes Benz of walnut creek has stated they will contact me when the replacement parts are available. I worry constantly about driving my car with defective airbags and worry about my safety. I cannot understand why it takes almost 2 years to replace an item that can possibly cause my death. This is unacceptable to me and I would like to have this resolved immediately.

- Fort Gibson, OK, USA

Takata recall. I have been checking with Mercedes since the recall was initiated in the system (over a year...almost 2 now) about getting the airbags replaced as my now pregnant wife drives that vehicle. They have confirmed the airbags in the car are the recalled takata airbags but, no actions have been taken by Mercedes to provide a solution to this recall for resolution thus placing millions in harms way as a result of inaction. I wonder what the news would think of this or my attorney?

Takata recall: Mercedes Benz's airbag recall was issued in February 2016 and, almost 2 years later, still no remedy is available. Mercedes has still not offered any repair (or mitigation) for the deadly airbags they installed in their vehicles. It is completely unacceptable that, after two years, Mercedes has not been able to develop any repair or mitigation for this deadly defect. How about an "off" switch for the defective airbags until Mercedes can figure out how to fix them?

Takata recall good morning, it has been about a year since I received a letter saying that mb was working on a remedy for the air bags, and once one is found, I would be notified to bring it in for service. I believe this process is rather untimely, and if it is such a safety issue, why am I still waiting a year later. Please let me know of any updates, thank you.
