Takata recall - I have been notified for close to two years now that my airbag is defective and needs replacement due to the recall. I have been very patient in waiting for a replacement but until today when I received noticed that this company is filing for bankruptcy I feel less confident that there will be a replacement in time. I do not feel comfortable driving my car knowing a defective airbag is in it. When contacting the dealership for a replacement they have advised that they are in back order and this has been going on for close to two years. Something so serious in my car that can potential impact my family an I is unacceptable and should be fixed immediately. I don't feel I can enjoy my car fully due to the constant concern of these recalled airbags in my car.

"takata recall" has not been corrected
- Alvin, TX, USA
Takata recall I received recall notices on may and August 2016 from Mercedes Benz usa to replace the driver's side and passenger side airbags which states that they may rupture due to excessive internal pressure, likely to occur if vehicle is exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time, possibly causing serious injury or death. I live in South Florida and the temps have been in the 100S with off the charts humidity every month! I live in fear of driving my car and dying in an airbag explosion. Weekly calls to the Mercedes dealer said they don't have the parts yet! my husband's 2007 Honda ridgeline was replaced immediately. Could you please explain why it's taking so long to fix this dangerous defect for my car? thank you.
