Can someone prioritize my vehicle to get the airbag parts replaced on front driver and passenger side asap" I called my Jeep dealership and they're able to get it done next week. Why does it take more than 2 years to get this done at Mercedes" I would appreciate it if someone can get this resolved for me and my family (I have a 3 year old) as this is our daily driver and sick of playing russian roulette with this vehicle.

Takata recall and still waiting for remedy after many years. How long do I have to wait?
- Cerritos, CA, USA
For over one-and-half years I have been unable to operate my automobile with anyone in the front passenger seat. My mother is aged and has dementia and refuses to ride in my back seat. I also have four children which must be transported which is impossible to do without a safe front airbag. My Mercedes dealership keeps telling me that it is, on mentor avenue, in mentor Ohio 44060, refuses to help me with this issue and continues to blame it on Mercedes. I just formally received a recall fro T.K. holdings of monroe, wi informing me to contact my dealer. What now? the car is useless for me when it comes to transporting family or friends.
