3 years ago my car had a driver side airbag recall. I call the dealership every 4 months and nothing has been repaired. Now, in 2019 I just found out there is a recall on the passenger side airbag too. The dealership has told me there is nothing they can do right now on either recall. It is my problem. Anything I can do?

Takata inflators the first recall was february 2016 for the driver side airbag a reasonable amount of time is past the parts were promised in september 2018 and no delivery. Now a new recall of january 2019 for the passenger side airbag inflator has been issued I'm told by mercedes-benz USA that the parts will be available september 2019 . This is an unreasonable amount of time given the three years of the previous recall not being remedied. Also I'm told by the dealership that the motor mounts are collapsed I can't help but think that this is a defect also subject to recall.

I received notification of a defective passenger side airbag in may 2016. I have received two subsequent letters dated december 2017 and just today february 14, 2019 stating the problem and that the company ( mercedes benz USA ) through their parent company daimler ag was taking all necessary measures to remedy this situation. We were also told that they were working closely with the federal safety agency and airbag suppliers to provide a remedy as soon as possible, and to prioritize repairs according to risk factors identified through testing. We have been told once again that replacement parts are not yet available, but we will be contacted once parts become available. It has been 2 1/2 years and still no remedy. We are driving around with a bomb waiting to go off in the front seat of our vehicle. When is enough enough? Are we waiting for someone to be injured or killed. I purchased mercedes benz vehicle because I was lead to believe they were one of the seven safest cars on the road. I do not have a warm and fuzzy feeling about owning my mercedes when the parent company cannot remedy a situation that puts my family and I at risk. I would have expected more from mercedes benz. Going forward I do not want more empty promises. Fix this problem once and for all so you might restore some confidence in your name again.

Takata recall. Until now, this has not been fixed. It has been three years since the first recall came out. In my opinion, that is way too long to get this taken care of. Nothing has happened yet to my vehicle, but I think it has been way too long that nothing has been done to replace these. Mfg. Recall n0. 2018030009 and 2018030011

The takata airbag recall is approximately 4 years old now and mercedes has refused to do anything about it. And I live in a high risk area of south florida. I get a letter per year form mercedes stating they are looking into it. I have called the local dealer many times. Each time I contact mercedes they reply they are looking into it and have no information. Friends with fords chevys and almost any other car brands got loaner cars and then their vehicle repaired. Mercedes is ignoring the issue, should be fined very heavily, and made to fix their cars immediately. Please let me know how and what I can do including if I can sue

Takata recall. Several years ago I was informed that my mb vehicle was included in the cars impacted with faulty takata airbags for both driver and passenger. I just called mbusa and was told they do not have any updated information as to when safe airbags will be installed in my car. This is unacceptable now that I have to drive in fear for the last couple of years...and no one knows for how much longer. I want a mb loaner car, free of charge to me...to drive until the time that my airbag recall is corrected. And I would like that correction to occur quickly.

1. Takata recall: this recall of a dangerous situation has been going on for about two years now is unacceptable and hazardous to em and my family. 2. Law suit: greg suddreth and paul denton v. Mercedes-benz USA, llc. On 10/30/17, I had to pay 3445.13 for a repair my balance shafts gears, which we're deemed defective in all m272 engines which is in my c300. However, in the above mentioned law suit, this problem was supposed to have been corrected. When I brought this to the attention to the mercedes-benz of modesto technicians, they said I missed the cut-off date by one year. They acknowledged I had the same problem and checked to see if I qualified for a free repair, but later claimed, the issue with the defective balance shafts gears had been addressed. How can that be when I incurred the same problem. The repair should have been repaired under warranty. I eventually had to have the car repaired at mercedes of pleasanton because modesto didn't have any open appointments. Thank you for your attention in this matter. 3. Faulty electronic stearing lock: engine won't turn on and steearing wheel is locked. Several people have had this same problem. Mercedes claim not a safety issue, but when your daughter gets stuck at midnight at an amusement park on high school senior night...that's a safety issue. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
