BOUGHT MY CAR FROM MERCEDES BENZ OF SAN DIEGO IN 2011. THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED AIRBGS YET AND IT IS 2017.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR OVER A YEAR TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED. MY LOCAL DEALER , FORT MYERS MERCEDES - BENZ CONTINUALLY TELLS ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS BUT THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THEY WON'T PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT ANOTHER CAR WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL. I LIVE IN ZONE A . I HAVE CALLED MERCEDES BENZ SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT UPDATES AND POSSIBLE TIMELINE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. EACH TIME I AM TOLD THERE IS NO SOLUTION AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR PARTS ALONG WITH THE REFERENCE TO THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTED SITUATIONS OF PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE BAGS IN A MERCEDES BENZ. WHEN ASKED ABOUT FRONTAL COLLISIONS THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. IS THERE ANY POSITIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL?

TTAKATA RECALL: NOTHING HAS HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH. I AM AFRAID. WHY?. BECAUSE FOR ALMOST TWO ( 2 ) YEARS NOW, CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN WAITING ( AND MOST ARE DRIVING THEIR CARS FREQUENTLY) FOR A " FIX " FOR THE DANGEROUS PROBLEM, TO NO AVAIL. WHEN DO WE GET JUSTICE. NHTSA SHOULD PRESSURE TAKATA AND MERCEDES BENZ TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHAT AYE YOU WAITING FOR-DEATHS TO INNOCENT PERSONS?. PLEASE THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (MERCEDES BENZ OF SOUTH BAY) MORE THAN 1 YEAR AGO AND THEN AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 3, 2017. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART.

TAKATA RECALL--MY 2011 MERCEDES BENZ C300 HAD RECALLS FOR DRIVER AND ALSO PASSENGER AIRBAGS ON 2/11/16 AND 5/23/16 RESPECTIVELY. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AVAILABLE. THANK GOODNESS, MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT DEPLOYED THE AIRBAGS. BUT, I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS COULD CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY FOR THE DRIVER AND/ OR THE PASSENGER. AS MY CAR IS NOW 6 1/2 YRS OF AGE, I DECIDED TO TRADE IT IN ON A NEW VEHICLE. I WAS GIVEN VERY BAD NEWS THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE AIRBAGS, I WOULD GET A VERY LOW OFFER FOR MY TRADE IN. IN FACT, THE DEALERSHIP REALLY DIDN'T WANT MY CAR AS A TRADE AT ALL!!
