Takata recall for driver and passenger air bags since 2016. Although I have contacted my local mercedess dealership about five times on this issue, I am advised they are still unable to service either airbag. This is of primary concern to me as I am a single 48 year old female, who has an only child (son) who is 12 years of age. Aside from him losing his father in january 2017 - I also take care of my 78 year old mother. There are no other close relatives outside of us so I truly need to take every precaution at safety. Much more than just the usual so I am asking that this request be expedited if at all possible.
2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 airbags complaints
Page 6 of 9: complaints 131 to 160 of 250, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Mercedes dealerships continue to state that they are waiting for mbusa to give them the remedy for the airbag replacements. No specific date of injury, are they waiting for an injury to occur? Takata is going bankrupt, their website provides a airbag replacement link which sends us to the dealerships whom refuse to replace the airbags. They have had this same excuse ever since I learned of the defect.
Tamata recall
Takata recall - I keep calling the local mercedes benz of alexandria and mercedes benz USA, for over 1 year and a half, they keep telling me that parts are available to replace the existing driver and passengers air bags. It is almost 2 years with the recall and still no parts available to correct the recall. I am not comfortable driving the vehicle fearing getting injured do to a malfunction. It is unfair to put drivers and passengers in such a great risk and fear. Also, I have another 2012 glk mercedes benz I am unable to sell since the recall was issued, as purchasers turn away when they learn of the recall. I am already at a loss about $4,000, in car depreciation sitting in my driveway unable to sell do to the recall.

Takata recall my dealership (lokey mercedes clearwater fl) says to each of my inquiries "parts unavailable, no further information" . Mercedes benz themselves say same thing plus "drive your car, this recall is a safety precaution". I don't feel like a solution is in sight. Although the takata airbag has not yet malfunctioned, I am driving a potentially dangerous car. Please help.
Have received communications from mercedes benz, beginning may 2016, stating problem with air bags which could cause injury and even death. Have called mercedes benz u.s.a. Several times as well a local dealer and answer continues to be "parts are not available yet". Should I discontinue use of this vehicle based on their warning of injury and even death?

Takata recall manufacturer (mercedes dealer) is unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner because the part(s) is/are not available. Mercedes dealer is not able to provide any date when the part would be available.
Takata recall since may 2016 or earlier, I have been following up with dealer as to when the defective airbag that pose a personal safety risk will be replaced. But almost a year and half later, dealer still states that no available parts are available for replacement. A lot of other cars of other makes and models have already been replaced but mine still has not yet. In the meantime, there is no schedule even as to when this would be fixed. Shouldn't there be a deadline? In the meantime, I am still taking safety risk everyday and it is hard to sell the car.
"takata recall" I'm still waiting as of november 20, 2017 to hear back on when my recalled driver airbag can be serviced. Recall number16v081
Takata recall. In may 2016, I received a notice from mercedes benz that my car is affected by the recall. I have written and called mercedes benz USA and my dealer a number of times since then and they tell me that they do not have the replacement air bags yet. They say they are waiting on the federal safety agency to get manufacturers to get the replacements made and out to the auto dealers. Now that takata filed bankruptcy, manufacturing the airbags has become more of a problem. It is hard to understand how a problem with the airbags started in 2013, expanded greatly in 2014/2015, and the consumer is still not able to get the recalled airbags replaced. Corporations must be held responsible. I see a lot of documents about this, but it seems like very little is getting done to get the airbags replaced in a timely manner. When can my family expect to get the replacement airbags installed and be safe riding in our car?
Takata recall I rec'd the recall papers and notified mercedes over the past year and 1/2 but I keep getting told they are on "back order" they still haven't contacted me to replace the airbags. Also heard mercedes said they aren't going to replace because their airbags are not affected

Parts still not available from mercedes benz for recall repair? This is crazy! How can there be a recall for 18+ months and there are still no parts?
