Talking tomercedes and a vast mailings I received over the past 2 years. Mercedes is telling me there are no replacements for the air bags. I have been patient and they now are saying it might be another 2 years to resolve. I asked if I traded car into Mercedes. They said they do not want the car because of recall and would wholesale. At this point I am at a loss. Mercedes does not have the consumers safety in mind. They can not insure that air bag will not cause injury.

Takata recall manufacturer recall numbers 2018030010 and 2018030011 NHTSA recall numbers 17V017 and 16V081 I called Mercedes of tucson, AZ to schedule an appointment to address the open recalls on my vehicle. I was told by the service person with whom I spoke that my airbags could be ordered and I could be scheduled to address the recalls the first week of April 2019; however, I had to call her back to provide my VIN so she could verify the recalls. When I called back and provided my VIN, I spoke with a different person and she informed me that there were no open recalls, which was completely false. I told her that I wanted something in writing that there were no open recalls, because that conflicted with the safety recall notice I received in 2018, and the recall information for the VIN on nhtsas website, which I had just verified. She said she would ask management about getting something in writing for me. A client relations rep called me after that discussion to confirm I did have two open recalls. She further informed me that parts are unavailable until September 2019, and they can't even order parts until then; there is no order queue. My first concern is that their people are giving false information regarding a potentially deadly recall notice (I.e. stating there are no open recalls). The client relations person explained that they have two parts people who are new, and one of them seemingly "verified" there were no open recalls. The fact that whichever one verified the recalls is new is irrelevant. They need to update their process and system, as I was told the verification was done in their system, not nhtsas website. Secondly, given the amount of time that has elapsed since the initial recall, I have to wait an additional six months for repair, and the parts may not even be available then, I was told. That is unacceptable.

Takata recall I was first notified of this recall (NHTSA #16V081) in 2016 and have received a number of mailers in the mail through the years. It is now 2019 and I've since moved to three different states since and there is yet to be a remedy. Every time I take the car in to be serviced I have asked when the fix could be completed but am always told it is not yet known. So I've been driving a potentially dangerous vehicle for going on 3 years with no fix in sight. All I would like to know is when I can expect a fix.

Takata recall we were notified of this recall nearly three years ago. There has been no movement on a repair. This is absurd, we have actually been notified that our two Mercedes vehicles that are affected by this recall, have been dropped in priority for a repair.

Takata recall! we have been receiving letters in the mail for over two years about this recall and how dangerous and life threatening this problem is with the driver side and passenger side airbags. We received another one yesterday stating that the remedy is still not available. Knowing this, keeps us from driving it long distances and on highways unless it is absolutely necessary. It seems there has been a adequate amount of time to resolve this problem, being as it is life threatening. So, what is taking so long?

I have been waiting over 3 years for Mercedes Benz to repair my takata airbag recall. Each time I call the local dealership they inform me they do not have enough parts to fix my vehicle and have to work on the older vehicles first. The last time I called my local dealership I was told it could be March 2019 which will be approximately 4 years I have been waiting and continuing to have to drive a defective and dangerous car. I dont have a choice, I have to go to the doctor due to disabilities and also lost my job. It just does not seem fair that I bought a car as reputable as a Mercedes Benz and now I have to drive it defectively for over 3 years. In Florida, where I live, I have read the possibility of rupture in the airbag is greater due to the humidity. Do I have to die before something is done?
