Took my car to Mercedes Benz of Chicago on 2 occasions for the recall. They refused to replace the airbag that was recalled unless I get the seatbelt retractor fixed which was $600. They also tried to get me to look at newer vehicles to purchased. I feel like they were trying to get me to spend money on labor for other things wrong with the vehicle in order to get recall done. I also didn't like the fact that they kept my car overnight and made sales calls to me.

Takata recall in Dec 2017 I was notified that my airbag initiators required replacement and parts would be available by March 31,2018. According to Mercedes they have no idea as of today (10/22/2018) when the parts will be available. I have intentionally avoided driving the vehicle for almost one year because of the hazard that exists with the airbag. ( I have driven the vehicle less than 1500 miles since last December) this situation is unsatisfactory. My patience has ended. Other than selling the vehicle, what are my options now ?

Takata recall. My wife and I purchased our Mercedes Benz 18 July 2017 and were required to sign a document stated that we understood that the takata air bag was under recall but had not been repaired at the time of the purchase. The dealer ship and Mercedes Benz web site estimated the repair would take place in March 2018. During March 2018 I checked with my local dealer and the Mercedes Benz web site and was informed that the repairs would take place in June 2018. Again, at the end of June 2018 I contacted the dealer and they had no information on the recall repair date. I contacted Mercedes Benz and was informed that the repair date is now December 2018. I have informed Mercedes Benz, in writing, that the air bag recall is a safety issue and needs to be repaired. I have not received and additional information. The manufacturer #: 2018030011 the NHTSA recall #: 16V081 thank you in advance for your assistance. Sincerely: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

Takata recall. I have made numerous attempts to have my takata airbags replaced, only to be told by Mercedes that there is nothing they can do to speed this fix up. I have a 16 year old son that has started to drive. I need this issue fixed immediately. Mercedes is dragging their feet. I could have my car in the shop today if they were willing to fix it.
