"takata recall" I have contacted Mercedes Benz arrowhead in Arizona three times since recall came out and they never have parts available to complete recall. This is a very critical recall as far as I'm concerned that could cause a possible death situation. Even an estimated time for this fix, seems to me, should be mandatory.

Takata recall. The recall was initiated IN2015 and nothing has been done as of this date. I keep getting notices from Mercedes-Benz that they have not found a solution to the air bag problem but they are still working on it. How is it that they can continue making new cars with working air bags but not for those under recall?

Takata recall. Have now been waiting 2 years for a resolution. Received a letter in the mail from Mercedes-Benz 3 months ago stating that the parts would be available no later than March 31, 2018 and that I would be notified to take my car in for airbag replacements. It's not April 4, still haven't been notified, and seems parts are still not available. Again, have been waiting over 2 years on this. Unacceptable.
- Dallas, TX, USA
Both airbags in the front seat are defective. The warning danger light comes on and stays on. Mercedes keeps putting the replacement off. Now they're telling me June of this year. How many people have to die before my government puts pressure on them. Are there any class action law suits going on with this?
