Takata inflators-I currently have 2 recalls on my car; one 10/05/17 the federal safety agency 17v627 and other one from 1/10/18 #18v043 with the airbags. Neither one has a remedy yet and I was told this weekend at the dealer to not let anyone sit in the passenger side due to danger. This is not an option for me. I was also told the earlier recall is also dangerous yet no eta on repairs. I am single parent with college student as well as handicap mother in her 80s ... I need this fixed now.....just to be told I will be contacted when there is a repair is not an answer. I am terrified to drive the car and have no options on this. Please help put my car in priority line for repair or else I should have lkq loaner until it is repaired. My car suffered flood damage at 4 months of age in 2014 and I am very concerned parts were compromised that could affect this even more! (the car was purchased in south florida and we moved to ga 2015 thus high humidity exposure)

Takata recall. We have been receiving recall notices since june 2016. Each notice states the manufacturer has no parts to repair the issue and no timetable on when parts will be available. We purchased the vehicle as a certified pre-owned car. Had we known about this major safety issue we would not have spent so much money on purchasing the vehicle. When we attempt to trade the vehicle in we are being lowballed due to the open safety recall.
Takata recall, grounding, electrical.
Tamara recall please let me know when this will be taken care of I received a letter from mercedes back in nov still no remedy.
The dealership told me they do not have the parts to fix the airbag recall
Too long waiting for accident to happen. Haven't had an incident, but the longer the wait, the greater the possibilty. When will the parts be available ?
Takata recall - no solution yet to repair
Takata recall I am very concerned and scared to be driving my car. This recall has been going on for months and nothing has been done in a timely manor. The fact that there is a warning that while driving with this malfunction may cause serious injury or possibly death is concerning. I do not feel safe driving my car anymore and would like a rental car provided until this issue is fixed.

Takata recall I was driving on on street and tried to make e a left turn when the steering wheel clicked and the airbag malfunction message came on the dashboard. This is the 2nd time that this has happen this year. I had to fight with the dealer last time (feb 2017) because they're telling me that my vehicle is not registered for this recall. At this moment I have no control over the control panel on my steering wheel nor am I able to see the regular dashboard display when the car is on because the airbag icon and message "front left malfunction service required" is noted and won't go away. Can someone please help me? I do not want to have an accident of the airbag deploying or malfunctioning and then find out that my vehicle should be on the list. Vehicle - mercedes benz c250 2013

"takata inflators recall". I've called lockey mercedes benz in clearwater twice and they keep telling me my car is not in the list for this recall that I should not worry. I think they don't want to take responsibility for it and that its against the law. Then I called mercedes benz in tampa and I also went there to speak to someone about it. They said I am in the recall list and there is nothing they can do about it. They can't fix it because they don't have the part for it. They are not even offering a loaner. I don't feel safe in this car anymore. I don't have any other car to drive. Please can you tell what should I do?

Takata recall. I received the indicator light in my car that they are not functioning. I called the dealerships and they don't have them in stock. I drive children in my car and we are all in danger now. What are we supposed to do?
Takata recall I called my local mercedes benz dealer who stated that in their system I had no air bag recall on my vehicle. I entered my VIN # on the airbagrecal website it showed I did? Mercedes benz dealer is clearly not claiming responsibility. Rep told me that the letter was sent to all owners of mercedes benz cars and that my car does not have an recall? I don't agree with her and would like to file a complaint due to non-assistance and negligence on mercedes benz dealer end for not looking into my vehicle more. The recall for the airbag issued a warning of safety so I'm unpleasantly dismayed at the fact that the mercedes benz rep would dismiss my concern so nonchalantly to discuss a software update notice she did find in her system which I was due for? I currently have a airbag light on in my vehicle which is alarming and worries me a bit to say the least. I would like some action to take place in getting this issue resolved. The dealer should be offering to take a look at all mercedes benz customer vehicles to ensure airbag is not installed and everything is okay?
