Takata recall -- I called Mercedes Benz in 2016 when I got first recall notice letter and got respond on the part haven't been provided. At that time, I haven't raise any conern until this month, I read a local news that mother of three killed in accident involving defective takata airbag. And then this issue bring me seriously concern. I called in augest and the local dealer say cannot take any action due to no part available and redirect me to the us customer services. Customer services respond using below logic: First, because no mb driver has been reported die by this issue, government didnt force mb to recall. Mb is voluntary in this recall. Then, since voluntary recall, so mb is not in the high priority in the list of takata. Third, not high priority of takata so we dont have part and cannot take any action. I understand the processing time of takata, but I think before takata provide new model of the airbag of takata, mb should take some action like provide temporary substitute service car for the recall car owner. I am live in Florida, which is the zone 1 of the risk level, and that car is my only car. I really hope get a solution on this matter for mb instead of just waiting in fear. Thanks for your time and consideration. More detail can be reached at 4074 888881

I drive around a lot of deer and I brought my Mercedes Benz Glk350 for that particular reason. I brought it thinking that I would be safer and more protected in the case of a accident.

Takata recall Mercedes Benz does not have a remedy for recall, for my car. Driving my car, has been stressful, since being hit a few weeks ago. Luckily my driver side airbag did not deploy, I received my letter over a year ago, and should not have to worry when driving my car. I purchased this car with the understanding that it was a safe and reliable car. How can they assure me that it will be fixed, if they have no remedy to fix it.
