"takata recall" it has been one year since I received a letter about the recall. I live in zone a . I have called mercedes benz several times about updates and possible timeline for replacement of the defective drivers and passenger side airbags. Each time I am told there is no solution and they are waiting for parts along with the reference to there have been no reported situations of premature deployment of the bags in a mercedes benz. When asked about frontal collisions there was no response. Is there any positive information about this recall?

Takata recall....I am concerned about the fact that my car is one of those under this recall and I have had for more than a year an alert on my display when starting the car indicating "SRS malfunction service required". I took the car back to mercedes once who told me it was a dummy light and was cleared. Several days later it came back on and my calls to the shop were not returned. I then learned of this recall and when finally reaching someone was told it may be related and that I will receive instructions when a repair was found. It's been at least a year and every day I start my vehicle I am reminded that I or any passengers in my car could be at risk in the event of an accident. I bought this car because the reviews were astounding about the safety features. Yet here I have a vehicle that I don't dare have passengers in. I basically use the car for work and only work. It's the quivelant of having a one seated car. This problem needs to be corrected asap. I have a grandson coming in may and would like to know that I am able to pick him and/or my daughter up and know that I can safely get them to doctors appointments and for visits.
Recall is taking to long to rectify. It's been over a year and still waiting for replacement part.

Takata recall -- what other alternatives are available since the manufacturers are taking forever to complete this process? Does anyone in america make airbags? I took my car to tysinger today and asked them to just deactivate both airbags and the guy said it was against the law, but I found a form regarding deactivation of the bags. So, what do I need to do to deactivate the bags? I feel less at risk driving this car without those bags rupturing. I shouldn't be forced to drive with those airbags and can't afford to buy another car. My husband bought this car as a surprise this year -- surprise is on me -- not happy with this situation, we should feel safe in our cars!

The air bags on my c300 mercedes 2011 did not deploy during front crash. The accident happened at a t intersection street. I was at the front lane at a t intersection stopping during red light. A volvo car from the other side of the intersection that was trying to make a left turn-into the street that I was stopping on- crashed into my vehicle front to front as a result of avoiding getting crashed by another car that was passing red light into it's opposite direction. The volvo that crashed into my car front to front pushed my vehicle about 10 feet back words and caused my vehicle to crash into an SUV with the rear right side of my vehicle into the rear left side of the SUV that caused my car to stop. A police report was taken at the scene. I then have requested from the collision center at the mercedes dealer who handled my car, to look into the air bags to check whether there were a manufacture defect with the airbag for not deploying. Few days later, my car was reported a total loss.
