2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE MY TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED, ONLY TO BE TOLD BY MERCEDES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO SPEED THIS FIX UP. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON THAT HAS STARTED TO DRIVE. I NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. MERCEDES IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET. I COULD HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP TODAY IF THEY WERE WILLING TO FIX IT.

TAKATA RECALL. MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR MERCEDES BENZ 18 JULY 2017 AND WERE REQUIRED TO SIGN A DOCUMENT STATED THAT WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TAKATA AIR BAG WAS UNDER RECALL BUT HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE. THE DEALER SHIP AND MERCEDES BENZ WEB SITE ESTIMATED THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE PLACE IN MARCH 2018. DURING MARCH 2018 I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THE MERCEDES BENZ WEB SITE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD TAKE PLACE IN JUNE 2018. AGAIN, AT THE END OF JUNE 2018 I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON THE RECALL REPAIR DATE. I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR DATE IS NOW DECEMBER 2018. I HAVE INFORMED MERCEDES BENZ, IN WRITING, THAT THE AIR BAG RECALL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER #: 2018030011 THE NHTSA RECALL #: 16V081 THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. SINCERELY: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

MERCEDES KEEPS EXTENDING THE DATE TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS. THEY SAY THAT CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BAGS AREN'T AVAILABLE. HOW ARE THE STILL MAKING NEW CARS WITH AIRBAGS IF MY AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT.

TAKATA RECALL, NO REMEDY HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL.\]\

THEY ADMIT IN THEIR LETTER THAT IS A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND WILL MAKE IT THEIR "HIGHEST PRIORITY". APPARENTLY, THAT MEANS THEY NEED SOMEONE TO DIE FIRST. MAYBE SOMEONE HAS...I DON'T KNOW BUT WILL SURELY LOOK INTO IT. THEY CLEARLY HAVE NO SENSE OF URGENCY REGARDING THIS ISSUE OR FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
