Takata inflators recall
Mercedes-benz of bellevue fails to schedule an appointment on the vehicle, where both the driver and passenger airbags are identified to be manufactured by takata, and are in immediate need of replacement.
Takata recall- mercedes benz has not been able to fulfill recall of airbag with new replacement for my vehicle. I have called them and they have no plan in place to fix. I was also told they have not heard of any injuries to mercedes owners. However, this does not make it right to wait for someone to get injured.
Takata recall I have made several attempts with mercedes greenway to get this safety issue resolved. I have not been offered a solution. I do not feel safe driving my 2008 mercedes benz c350 under these conditions. This is my sole means of transportation to work.
Takata recall - is failing to provide remedy to my dangerous - defaulted airbag
'takata recall" in august 2016 I received an important safety recall notice (2016070003) in the mail. I have call several mercedes benz dealers and they keep telling me the parts will not be available until march 2018. It's been more than a year since the recall and the air bags have not been replaced.
Takata recall I have called at least 5 times and always get told the "parts are on order" the federal safety agency #16v‑363
The dealer is telling us they will not take our car for a trade in as the air bags do not work and no replacement parts are available. They told us on one will buy the car as the air bags do not work. We are now out thousands of dollars!
Takata recall I have received several notifications regarding recall for my mb 2008 c350 re faulty airbags. I have called the dealership several times where I purchased the with no help to repair. They offer no help at all. I am concerned about driving given what may happen and thus drive very little and only short distances. What can be done to get this resolved and feel safe driving my car? Thank you. [xxx] ('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).')

It has been since feb. Of 2016 that I was notified of a potentially fatal air bag fault. I have not driven my vehicle on the freeway trips due to that potential danger. I think mercedes should now provide some sort of "loaner"
"takata recall" received notification from mercedes-benz august 2016. To this date (jan 20, 2017) no replacements parts have been available to replace defective air bags. This is taking way to long and while I need my car it is unnerving to drive an unsafe vehicle. When will the parts be available? Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recall I have been waiting more than 1 year for parts to become available to repair this dangerous situation. I think mercedes is stalling to avoid these repairs.
Takata recall. This recall started in february 2016, and now, nine months later, there is no indication when the airbags will be replaced. I will not let my child ride in the vehicle, and I do not feel safe driving it. I do not understand why takata admits there is a defect, but the repair has not been made. At a minimum, I should be given a free replacement car to drive while mine is under a recall that could be life threatening.
