Takata recall . Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available and with takata corporation filling chapter 11 it seems this issue will never be repaired.

Takata recall I received notice of recall campaign 2016020003 in february 2016 and it is now nearly november 2017 and I have not been contacted about a remedy for this recall. I have contacted mercedes USA and they have no timeframe on a remedy. They assure me that they have not experienced problems with the takata inflators. I suspect that due to the age of the vehicle (my2005) they have no interest in ever remedying the takata situation for my vehicle, leaving me to continue to drive a vehicle that may kill me, or buy a new vehicle, and receive no trade-in value as the vehicle is affected by the takata recall.

Takata recall I'm concerned for the safety of our daughter driving the mercedes with the airbag not replaced per the letter and mercedes website info the consequence is very alarming and we do not have another car. We have called our dealership and emailed mercedes. They are stating that they are not able to provide a time frame when the airbag replacement will be available. I have incluede below what is stated on letter and website: consequence according to takata, in the event of an inflatorrupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. Our issue is that while we wait for a replacement, we have no choice but to continue to drive our car with the risk of injury or even death. We hope you can assistance to speed up the process. Thank you for your time and look forward to your response soon.

Takata recall. According to the third amendment to the coordinated remedy order, dated december 16, 2016, my car is in the highest risk priority group 4 for the takata recall. Paragraph 34 of the order requires the manufacturer to secure sufficient supply of parts and launch the remedy program for priority group 4 by march 31, 2017. It has been over a month since that deadline and despite being in the highest risk group, mercedes has provided no update on replacing the driver airbag in my car, which I am reluctant to drive due to the risk. Attached is a pdf excerpt of the relevant pages from the order. Can the federal safety agency please provide an update and/or expedite mercedes' remedy launch for priority group 4? Thank you.

Takata recall: I had a front end collision and I am concerned that my airbags did not deploy. The impact in my opinion was such that caused me to wonder why they did not inflate. My primary concern is if they work at all. My car was in motion on a wet highway at the time of impact around 2pm. The consumer stated the vehicle should have been included in the sunroof recall. While driving the vehicle at 60mph, the sunroof shattered. The consumer was informed that due to the sunroof exploding, the recall did not apply.
