Takata recall: I've called my dealership many times mentioning I'm seeing the airbag malfunction light and they keep telling me they don't have parts yet. Can someone prioritize my vehicle to get the airbag parts replaced on front driver and passenger side asap? I called my jeep dealership and they're able to get it done next week. Why does it take more than 2 years to get this done at mercedes? I would appreciate it if someone can get this resolved for me and my family (I have a 3 year old) as this is our daily driver and sick of playing russian roulette with this vehicle.
I'm seeing the airbag malfunction light since the recall and have called my dealership many times but they don't have the parts and won't get them until 2018. I need this to be prioritized for my vehicle as I do not wish to continue to play russian roulette with this vehicle. I have myself and my family to protect and would like someone to provide timely resolution for us.
Takata recall and still waiting for remedy after many years. How long do I have to wait?
For over one-and-half years I have been unable to operate my automobile with anyone in the front passenger seat. My mother is aged and has dementia and refuses to ride in my back seat. I also have four children which must be transported which is impossible to do without a safe front airbag. My mercedes dealership keeps telling me that it is, on mentor avenue, in mentor ohio 44060, refuses to help me with this issue and continues to blame it on mercedes. I just formally received a recall fro t.k. Holdings of monroe, wi informing me to contact my dealer. What now? The car is useless for me when it comes to transporting family or friends.

The airbags were not replaced yet
Takata recall it has been two years and we still have not received a repair for this problem from mercedes benz. This car was originally purchased and used in florida from 2008 through 2015. Very hot and humid conditions.
Takata recall as of today my airbags have not been replaced. It was recalled since january 2016 and in florida with the heat, is one of the states of greater concern. I am really concerned as the dealer (mercedes benz of coral gables) keeps saying they dont have the parts. This is serious!!!!

Takata airbags...waiting for replacement part since 2016
Recall has been active over a year and no replacement is avalible and I cant sell my vehicle with the active airbag no one will buy dealer has no resolve for the issue
"takata recall" there are currently 2 open recalls - #16v081 (february 11, 2016) and #16v363 (may 25, 2016) being these recalls have been open and not resolved for over 1 year causes my being extremely concerned as to the results of injury to include death caused by this. I was not notified via mail for the solution or even an update of the recall which as the owner and primary driver of this vehicle is not acceptable. Luckily I have not experienced an accident where the takata airbags need to be active. I will not take the vehicle to a mercedes dealer because they normally do not provide a solution besides giving me alternatives and selling other service items instead outside of anything that has to do with the recalls. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter...

The recall has been issued over a year ago and still nothing has been done. My dash light is on specifying an airbag malfunction. If deployed while driving it could cause serious or even fatal injury to myself, my family, or anyone else in the car. I cannot even sell the car due to the nature of the recall, due to getting low balled significantly below market value.
