Mercedes recall 17V627 my wife has a matching C250 and filled with you mentioning my VIN as well. You can find her information under your complaint 11149647. When I returned home from out of state work, she told me the story of her attempt to have the recall repaired the criteria of "concern" was having the SRS light come on which it did in her car. When she got to arrowhead mb in peoria, they wanted a $175 dx fee plus $400 to pull her bumper to poke around to see if a loose plug were the problem, and she refused to pay it believing they were simply trying to recoup labor costs of fixing a federally mandated recall. We decided to use my car's routine service as a test as it is also under recall. Not only did they want the maintenance fee, but another $3500 for work that I did not accept. I went to another mechanic who said the work absolutely did not need to be done at that time and we both now believe that arrowhead is falsely inflating or directing customers in an attempt to recoup labor costs of fixing a recall. My recall was repaired. This is now two times and I guarantee we will not be back with Mercedes in the future, but this is a crime and we want it investigated so no other owner falls for this bait and switch.

Mercedes recall 17V627 was issued saying "no concern unless SRS light illuminates." Mine did. I went to arrowhead mb in peoria who wanted to charge me $175 to diagnose and $400 to pull the bumper saying they were sure that it wasn't the recall causing the SRS light to come up but needed to pull the bumper to be sure. I had another mechanic with a computer plug into the mb and could find no other cause. I believe mb was trying to illegally recoup their labor cost for fixing a recall. I would not allow them to charge me. My husband was out of state working on a trial and I wanted for him to come home and test his car with the same recall his VIN is [xxx] and the car required regular service and mb tried to upcharge him $3500 for work that didn't need to be done we believe to recoup the labor in fixing a recall. We leased these cars and then bought them outright from arrowhead both at once and service has steadily declined and the unnecessary upcharges both at once, lead us to believe they are trying to recoup for fixing a recall. My best guess is the 400 was taken in March of 2018. I cannot find the date in my email. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have a pending recall and contact the Mercedes Benz but they said this recall will not be fixed until September of 2019. Even they say is safe to continue to drive this car, I would like to trade-in, but because I have this recall open, I am having my car depreciated by at least $2,000. I would like to have this recall completed asap or have some compensation by Mercedes Benz due to the fact that I don't feel safe to keep driving the car as is.

I have insisted on several occasions that Mercedes dealership at oxnard, ca to fix the recall of the airbag. For the year and a half 2016-to 2018, it has not been repaired due to " lack of remedy" to have parts/fix the recall. I am copying this message to my attorneys. In the case of a fatal collision and airbag not deployed properly to save my life, I am empowering my daughter as my only heir to envoke the mother of the lawsuits. I will instruct to invoke statutory sanctions against every government entity that passively /negligently allowed the malfunctioned equipment released on the roads. That will be a negligence per SE for the starters. If the takata airbag manufacturer already bankrupt, the Mercedes will bear full responsibility. God help you.
