The airbags were recalled a year ago and mercedes keeps saying they dont have parts to fix. Unsafe to drive. I think they should be trying harder to fix.

Takata airbag recall - I contacted the mercedes benz dealership where I purchased my vehicle and told them I did not feel safe driving my vehicle. They immediately forwarded my call to a hotline for mercedes benz USA, and I was told that my car is safe to drive and that mercedes will not offer me a rental car to drive while I wait for replacement parts. They went as far as to send me a letter explicitly saying that they believe "there is no reason for you to stop driving your vehicle." there is no estimated timeline for the replacement parts. There wouldn't be a recall if there wasn't a safety risk and mercedes benz isn't doing anything to ease customers' fears or ensure our safety. I live about a mile from the beach and it is humid. Not only do I not feel safe, the resale value of my car is likely impacted if I wanted to purchase a new, safer vehicle. Mercedes benz should be mandated to offer rental cars while we wait for our replacement airbags. It's not "precautionary" to issue a recall and then wait months (or potentially years) to fix the problem.
The SRS light is on steady for about a month now. I get a message on the display "check passenger airbag" and the passenger airbag "on/off" switch is in the off position, which I cannot change. When I look up the VIN I get no answer for my make and model. I really think my car should be included on this recall.
2006 mercedes benz c230 68k miles. Error message states "SRS restraint system malfunction. Drive to workshop". I am told that my entire supplemental restraint system has been deactivated until this is resolved. Repair costs around $700 to fix and I do not have an extra $700 laying around right now. From reading online, this is an extremely common/widespread problem with mercedes and should lead to a recall as people's lives are at stake when driving a vehicle without working airbags or pre-tensioners.
