Why didn't the dealer tell me this when I purchased the car? according to www.airbagrecall.com, it was 2 recalls on the air bags last year 2016, so they knew it was a recall. I could of had and accident and been hurt real bad. I am very upset with the Mercedes dealer and prestiage auto in Rhode Island. I will be taking further actions about this problem. I just found out about the airbags on December 23, 2017.

Takata recall -- I have been receiving recall notices from Mercedes Benz corporate in atlanta, ga, for years. Every time I take my vehicle to the dealership for service, the replacement airbags are not available. I have been tossing the old letters when I receive a new one (the latest one is date April, 2016). This has been a serious concern of mine; in that, I am the primary driver of this vehicle and the airbag problem is on the driver's side. I am disabled and have serious problems from radiation/chemo on my left upper side (stage 3 breast cancer). My ribs break very easily and have (on one occasion broken from severe bronchitis). I have not felt safe in this vehicle since receiving these letters. I now have have severe burns (2nd and 3rd degree) on my left hand and arm. I am almost afraid to drive my car. I am a very careful driver, but when you live in the mountains and medical care can be four mountains (driving time 1 hour, 50 minutes) away, you are exposed to many hairpin turns and the possibility of wildlife running into the road. You never know what is around each corner. I do not drive at night, so the "headlight warning" would not be seen for me. I have never received any projection dates as to when this replacement would be available. I have contacted the dealer (three of them) listed on website and none are able to help me. I do not want to fear driving a vehicle that costs (fully loaded with more upgrades) $47,000. That is a lot of money to feel unsafe. Also, my tire pressure light comes on constantly. I have had this checked repeatedly and replaced tires, as necessary. Mostly the tire pressure light comes on when it is cold outside. I live in monterey, va, in the mountains. It is cold here for about 6 months or more. Please help, debbie recall # 201602003
