While parked I started the car and placed an item on the passengers seat. Immediately the SRS light came on. The SRS has detected something wrong with the airbag system and shut the airbags off on the car which is an extreme safety hazard. After taking the car to the mechanic I was told code 9223 and 9080 displayed. 92 23 states that the car needs a contact reel at steering wheel (part $410/labor nearly $300) and 9080 states the passenger side seat bottom needs to be replaced (part $1690/labor nearly $300). I believe this should be a recalled item because numerous Mercedes Benz have this issue and the repair cost is extremely high. Please investigate this safety issue. Due to the extreme cost for repair, I am driving an unsafe and hazardous vehicle. I am sure, I am not the only person in this situation.

Our vehicle has had numerous problems despite maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty. Specifically we've had a number of warranty defects including: - windshield fluid clogging - sunroof motor repair - door locking mechanism failure - battery/engine failure while driving - cracked keys - radio failure - seat adjustment knob falling off (2X) - center console breakage - rear view mirror dimming problems the most disturbing issue to date was the car recently shutting down power while my husband was driving home on a major freeway. He lost power steering and power brakes and had to maneuver the vehicle off the road on the freeway.
