I have reached out to Mercedes-Benz to have the 2 recalls fixed. They tell me I will receive a letter with instructions. I have not received any letters and it's been more than 6 months.

On February 18, 2022 at approximately 2240 hours I was in a wreck which totalled my 2010 Mercedes ML-350. I was approaching a curb and tried to brake but they didn't work and my vehicle pulled to the right and I totaled it out on an electricity pole. I was not aware of the recall 16V081 until September 04, 2022. My mercedes is currently under a tarp under my shed, and has been for months. Please explain the steps and procedures I need to follow to get my vehicle replaced because the damages to my vehicle as well as the transformers that blew, shutting off power in a 2 miles radius could have been fatal and I have since been without a vehicle.

Two issues with my ML350 2010 car - 1) electrical - gas gauge went to zero while driving even when car was three quarters full of gas. After I stopped car and restarted engine, gas gauge went immediately back up to three quarters full. 2) failed brakes - I was driving into a parking spot slowly using brakes and when I was about to come to a full stop, the brakes failed and wouldn't stop the car completely resulting in me driving over a parking meter. It felt like the car accelerated as well after hitting parking meter but I was able to stop car after pressing on the brakes again. Thankfully no one was hurt given slow speed and no one being on sidewalk at the time.
