Takata recall. Cars with this issue should be part of the recall. I have same exact problem as the 7th complainer.case #10574681. Srs light came on with 1 malfunction. The restraint system. I took it to the workshop to have the scan codes checked. The code reader said that there is a problem with one of the airbags. The mechanic thinks that the airbags are disabled. But the owners manual says there is a possibility that an airbag could go off while driving. I just read that mercedes included 814000 vehicles in the recall. My car is not included. I think that this car might not be safe to drive. Would you please help out and have an investigation. Thanks in advance. (this I copies and pasted from a recent consumer) I didn't think anything about checking on my mercedes until I got a recall letter from bmw 2 days ago and thought wow. I need to check no the benz. I have had this same problem. First the SRS light. Codes are reading safety restraint and wont turn off. Then I have my esp light that came on and when read on the computer, it had read that this was also showing up as a long term problem in the history of this cars computer system. I can pull every paper work ever done to this car. I am the second owner and my close friend is the first owner, who bought it after law school. I have owned it 5 years. This made nervous, so I bought another car. A bmw and kept this one, because she is a great car. However, mercedes or someone better investigate this issue that seems to be recalled in a biased manner and in safety and death possibilities, mercedes needs to take care of their loyal customers.my entire family owns and buys these and never changed, because all of our german made and shipped cars have been the best since 1980 of our 1st one we purchased. I bought a bmw. Never again. Please investigate this asap, this is dangerous. I own 2 dangerous expensive cards.

I own a a 2003 mercedes benz c240. The following day after the vehicle was refueled, there was a strong fuel odor. It has happen suddenly out of nowhere after my other electrical failures of showing up in my malfunction panel, in which I have a complaint. The SRS then the esp now. Then the fuel smell. I seem to notice it more when I would idle heating up the car in the winter, then when I just turn it on and drive. I notice it at stop lights as well. If there is any recall on any mercedes that has something to do with this or any issue, it should fall across the line of other years and models as well. Safety is the issue and quality is why we choose a certain make.
