Takata recall - we have called alex rodriguez Mercedes over 5 times and have taken this vehicle to their service department numerous time. Have asked each time about the recall and replacement of the takata airbags. We get the same answer every time-' as soon as we get the replacement we will call you in to replace. We don't have the supplies right now. ' very frustrating!!

I have been receiving recall letters from Mercedes-Benz since May 2016 for the driver-side takata air bag and in August 2016 for the passenger takata air bag as well as mail from tk holdings Inc, but have not been able to get my air bags replaced. I was told I was in a latter phase and would hear something by March 2018, but have heard nothing. This is very frustrating. I have less than 45,000 miles on my car, meaning lots of life left in the vehicle, but can't drive the car due to the risk of harm and fatality. I do not want to sell my vehicle. I just want to get my air bags replaced, please!

Takata recall - it was reported on February 11, 2016. Today is November 7, 2017 and they don't have the replacement parts for my Mercedes. Almost 2 years. Nothing happened yet, but it's somewhat scary knowing that it is dangerous for me to drive with bad airbag.

"takata recall" what purpose does this recall serve if the manufacturer still does not have a "remedy" available" I have 3 Benz's, all affected by this recall and for over 1 year the dealer cannot repair due to "no remedy yet avail". so in the meantime, we should drive and pray that something tragic does not occur"

Takata recall - my complaint is to report the lack of timeliness of repair for 2 manufacturer recalls: #2016020003 and #2016070003. I have contacted the dealers several times and the parts for repair are not available from the manufacturer. I am concerned about the car's safety and lack of information available on when the parts will be available.

"takata recall" there are two recalls on the front airbags one issues in February 11, 2016 and the other May 25, 2016. I've taken my car in several times for service and inquired about the recall. As of today the remedy is not available. There is a fault switch with the headlights in off position the left right turn signal flash when the keys are not in the vehicle. It drains the battery which have replaced twice. We determined that if we keep the light switch in automatic position it does not happen.

We were notified of this recall 3 years ago and we still have not been able to get the recall repairs made. We are on the waiting list with our dealership. We are now being told no remedy is available so we must continue to drive with this dangerous condition.

Takata recall - I have 2 takata recalls (driver and passenger) on my ehicle and I have received no updates in over 2 years about the status of when they will be available to replace. Every time I ask Mercedes dealership about when the takata air bags will be available, they have given me no information. The dealership (both the Mercedes at tysons corner va and bethesda md euro motors) only tell me that someone from takata will notify me when they are available.

Takata recall - no remedy in a timely manner. I have a long commute and every day I am in fear for my life, my appearance, and my eyes and other senses being damaged by flying shrapnel. I am an emotional wreck and want this remedied as soon as possible, particularly with how dangerous the roads and drivers are on my commute. Please fix as soon as possible. I'd rather have no airbag than this "time bomb of shrapnel" waiting to go off! how come other car companies are replacing the airbags, but not Mercedes?
