Still waiting for defective takata airbag replacement. Have tried several times over the past couple years.

- Richmond, TX, USA

I have been calling Mercedes for going on 3 years about fixing this recall issue. I get a letter periodically pushing back my parts available date. The dealership always said they cannot provide any estimate on when the parts will be available. Finally, I received a letter from vice president of customer services christian trieber dated March 2019 regarding this "urgent-important safety recall 2019030018". it states that parts are now available and to schedule an appointment "immediately". I called and was put on what was probably a fake hold to 'check' part availability, and told the same thing I've been told time after time which is that parts are not available and no time estimate can be provided. The letter states that "safety is of utmost concern to Mercedes Benz", but that's a bit hard to believe at this point. This has to be the longest time ever taken to address as serious a safety issue as this. Can anything be done" is there no accountability to take care of this withing what has already been a ridiculously unreasonable amount of time" according to Mercedes Benz dealership in san diego, there is nothing that can be done but wait longer and hope for the best.

Since 2/2017 the supposed top quality brand Mercedes Benz has postponed the replacement of the defective tamara airbags. They are jeopardizing their customers lives. I spend $70 000 on this car to keep my family safe, but they rather spend millions in a formula E racing series that nobody watches then to replaces these dangerous airbags

Takata recall - the recall originally came out in 2/2016, and at the time, it said a remedy was not yet available. I recently read another article about the recall and when I checked it still said a remedy wasn't available. That's three years they've had to fix it and they haven't.

Takata recall: Mercedes Benz contacted via mail stating the airbag recall back in February 2017 for 2011 GL450. Mb stated that airbags will be replace no later than June 2017. I have contacted two different Mercedes Benz dealerships to have the airbag replace however; I was told that parts or the remedy was still not available. It's November 2018 and I am still waiting on a fixed, while I have to drive this very dangerous vehicle that has very high potential to kill me if I get into an accident.

Takata recall: The recall was initiated February 9, 2016 and we are still waiting to have the airbags replaced. The wait time is excessive particularly because we live in a warmer climate.

- Raleigh, NC, USA

The takata airbags have been recalled since February 2016 with risk of injury or death. After 2.5 years, there is still no resolution and I am unable to get new airbags or confirm if my vehicle even has takata airbags. This is completely unacceptable.

I am the owner of this 2011 Mercedes-Benz GL450 for 7 years. In the past few years, I have been receiving the airbag recall notices from Mercedes-Benz. So far, no indication of when this recall will be taken care of. Obviously Mercedes-Benz doesn't care of its' customers' safety. I also appall that our government has no regulation in place to force the car manufacturer to fix this within a reasonable time frame. Is that because of the auto manufactures can afford strong lobbying in capital hill "I?!"!

Takata recall. I received a notice of the recall approximately 2 years ago. We originally purchased the vehicle from flagship motorcars of lynnfield, MA but moved to Texas in November 2015. We had our Mercedes Benz GL450 serviced at Mercedes-Benz of the woodlands, tx at the beginning of 2016 and asked about getting the airbags replaced. We were told that they would contact us when the parts came in but they have never done so. We've checked in with them on two separate occasions but continue to be told that they still do not have the parts to replace the airbags for the recall.

I have contacted Mercedes multiple times and also questioned each year when I have taken my vehicle in for service, always told the same....they have not received the replacement airbags. I have parked my vehicle because I am afraid to drive it.

Takata airbag still inside car, have been asking dealer for almost 3 years now to fix it, they state they have no parts" why hasn't this been fixed. Now I hear takata filed bankruptcy, so what happens now" shouldnt the dealers buy back the cars like VW did with the issue with mileage, this is a lot more serious, can cause death if in a crash and they cannot fix it.
