The current vehicle I have, is suppose to have a back up camera as part of being the basic standard for a 2014 C- class mercedes Benz. Ive asked the place I bought he car from and also Ed hicks imports, who also legally sells mercedes Benz in Corpus Christi, to install one, especially because according to the vin reports I bought, it was initially on the vehicle. I was even willing to pay them to install a factory made original MB backup camera that should’ve been there in the first place but they tell me to go buy an aftermarket! After further research, it turns out mercedes Benz makes all their cars with backup cameras or the PARKTRONIC option which is added sensors !!! Before my car was even brought over to the USA in 2014! Yes, all of these issues have been confirmed by another dealer, which is auto nation here!!!! Besides that, Ed hicks imports supposedly fixed two factory recalls with my car, where one was if the airbag on the passenger front side goes off, it would kill or harm, myself, and any occupants in the vehicle due to the metal fragments that would also burst and pierce, or exit through our bodies. However, my airbag notification comes on every time someone is in the front passenger seat as a warning, as well as my own driver side airbag that just started coming up when I turn on my vehicle. The steering is not fully mounted straight either, so it’s causing me a ton of gas to get to the closest places in town, as well as having me turn the wheel twice as much as I normally would need to on a car with a steering wheel properly mounted, which makes the time for me to finally turn my vehicle at any given time to turn a lot slower than other drivers around me. The last thing is the body of my vehicle not be big properly aligned, I did not know the car had been in ANY accidents, and recently discovered it’s been in 7 !!!so it makes sense why the whole chassis resembles a Chopshop car All of these parts of my vehicle are available for inspection

We purchased the vehicle in november 4, 2019 with the understanding the recall for the airbags was incomplete. The recall date is january 18,2019. We are driving the vehicle daily and concerned about the airbag recall with no action.
A recall notice was issued a year ago for this vehicle due to the takata airbag recall. Mercedes still has no information as to when a fix for this issue will be available. I do not feel safe driving this car with a passenger in the front seat until the airbag is replaced. There does not seem to be any sense of emergency on the part of mercedes to rectify this situation.
According to mercedes-benz's recall website specifically for takata airbag recalls (https://www.mbusa.com/en/recall/takata-recalls), the parts for my vehicle will not be available until august 2020. The recall was reported on jan 18, 2019. This time frame of almost 2 years is unacceptable.
