Srs warning light on. Replaced seat control a 211 870 05 26. No help. Service technician could not find the problem. Service decided to replace entire seat frame at a cost in excess of $2,800 including parts and labor. Srs code was identified when the car was stationary and just started in enclosed parking space with door open.

Takata recall: the SRS light in my vehicle has been on for a while. It just happened overnight without any reason. My concern is what would happen if I got into an accident, would the air bags still work. I'm wondering if this issue comes from the manufacture because I have heard of some of the benz from this year with the same issue

Srs light appears on dashboard. Car was checked in a repair shop. Diagnostics indicate a code which had recall issues. I called a mercedes dealer to discuss the problem but was told there was no recalls on this. What is to be done when an accident happens? This is a safety issue!!

Car shut off randomly by going safe mode while driving, constant break warning in bright red " break visit workshop" I went to multiple shops and a consistent electrical issue but, problem to be determined, car has been checked multiple times before I purchased it from the used car dealer with the SRS light on, I did not know what it was. The car has had the alternator replaced 3 times, both batteries twice, one short was found in faulty wiring harness in truck being pinched. The dealer would deny sbc unit recall every time I called fletcher jones, and only gave me the option to pay them for a diagnosis and then they will determine if its faulty instead of my life being risked as well as those around me I finally tracked down the number for corporate and I got conformation from mercedes corporate say my VIN was included in the list. The car would leave me without breaks, power steering multiple times and always without notice occurring mostly on the freeway. The sbc unit was eventually replaced by a supposed authorized shop and I still have not received any reimbursement and then the same problems occurred shortly after the repair. The electrical issue had drained the batteries yet again so the car was garaged at my parents where it eventually caught fire in that location which makes this whole ordeal even more outrageous due to mercedes major lack of concern with this and they still want me to pay them to fix it before they will even decide to do anything. I have many different quarterly report print outs as well, out of the 100s of 1000s documented to possible 2 million total faulty cars , my car had almost all of different safety issues reported. Bought car @ 73k mi, caught fire, blew hole in manifold @ 123k, just isn't right, seems they are trying to cover up true amount of faulty cars in us by asking confidentiality by the federal safety agency granted blacked files illegible

Takata recall SRS light on front passenger seat

Filed Nov 26, 2017 · Seat belts · 146,000 miles · CA

Was driving slow like 10 MPH and preparing to make a right turn and there was a loud explosion as the passenger seat belt retracted with such force that it slammed into the sternum of my 73 year old mother, who almost had an episode of cardiac arrest, both from the impact of the belt pushing on her heart and the explosion. One week later the drivers side seatbelt did the same thing . I had not used the drivers side belt on the day of the first incident, or any day since. But they are exploding about the same time as the second incident happened the very first time that the drivers belt was put in use after the passenger belt incident. The same slow right turn, while braking into a the turn, was being performed. The SRS light has been on ever since.

My airbags self deployed while I was driving. I had just left work and driving northbound on the west sam houston tollway approaching the toll station at highway speeds. There was an incredibly loud explosion and and hard percussion as the airbags self deployed while I was driving. I thought I had been punched or shot in the gut. The passenger side curtain dropped down and the right rear passenger side door bag deployed. The seatbelt around my waist and shoulder tightened. Fortunately, I kept it together and drove directly to the dealership. I had not hit anything, run over a pothole, swerved or otherwise make any sudden direction change. I was immediately called by an operator on the mercedes emergency system within the car. So mercedes is aware of the incident at the time it happened. She asked if I needed an ambulance or police. I told her that the airbags had deployed on their own and that I was physically ok. Additionally, I drove immediately to star motor dealership where they looked at my vehicle less than 20 minutes after it occurred. The service adviser and some of the technicians quickly looked at the vehicle (it was near closing time). They said they could not read the codes other than the SRS fault. I was advised that it would likely be cheaper to fix at a body shop than at the dealer. I later found that the driver side rear seatbelt had also deployed and was tightened.

While proceeding straight on a city street, at about 30 MPH, during the day, with no other vehicles on the road, I heard a metallic explosion inside our 1997 mercedes benz e320 sedan. The seat belt immediately and painfully pinned me back into the drivers seat, rendering me breathless and disorientated. I felt like I had been shot, and I looked around outside the car for the source. I turned off the street and parked. I was able to release the seatbelt, but it did not retract. The SRS warning light was on. I got out of the car and inspected its exterior. There was nothing to note. I subsequently took the car in for an authorized inspection and evaluation. I learned that the seatbelt retraction system had activated, even though there was no input to the activation sensor. There is no recall for this issue, so the repair bill is on me.
