Takata recall I've had this recall on the car ever since I've purchased it and I don't have a piece of mind driving or having my passenger ride in my car with me. There seems to not be a solution to get this fixed at the dealership. This is a very dangerous recall and I need to know what I can do to expedite the process.

"takata recall". reference # 11140309. Current info on report incorrect. Please update with below. Recall number 16V363 and 16V081. I purchased my pre-owned Glk350 on Dec 24 2016. The dealer alm of duluth did not inform me of an open recall. I received a recall notification from mb Dec 2017 stating parts would be available March 30, 2018. On March 2018, another notice stated it's delayed until June 30, 2018. As of today, still no notifications as to when the airbags will be replaced. This vehicle is a daily driver. Oct 2018, I went to mb of athens and asked about the takata recall. The service mgr said they were replacing airbags on 2009 C-class. Mb headquarters said this is incorrect and that mb vehicles do not require the replacement because no mb vehicles have been involved in a takata related incident. A wsbtv investigation reported from takata that high humidity increases the likelihood of premature ruptures. This Glk350 was originally purchased in miami and resold in atlanta. My glk is a daily driver and this is unacceptable from mb!! mb is playing russian roulette with our lives. The only notice I want from NHTSA is a date when my airbags (driver & passenger) will be replaced. If NHTSA cannot 'fine' mb for their direct denial, then I'm filing a class action lawsuit !

Takata recall Mercedes Benz notified me of the recall for my airbags in may of 2016. Since then I have received two more notifications postponing the replacement. On February 2, 2017, I spoke with teresa at Mercedes (1-800-367-6372 ext. 4601) and was told that my vehicle was in phase 1 of the recall. The December 2017 letter stated that my vehicle was in priority group 4. a letter in January 2018 stated the my vehicle was in group 5. I believe that the recall of the takata airbags in my vehicle is not being handled properly and that my vehicle has not been categorized properly. I feel that my safety has been placed at risk far too long. Why has the priority group changed and the replacement of my bags delayed" is the problem with Mercedes Benz corporation or with the NHTSA"
