I have been waiting over 3 years for mercedes benz to repair my takata airbag recall. Each time I call the local dealership they inform me they do not have enough parts to fix my vehicle and have to work on the older vehicles first. The last time I called my local dealership I was told it could be march 2019 which will be approximately 4 years I have been waiting and continuing to have to drive a defective and dangerous car. I dont have a choice, I have to go to the doctor due to disabilities and also lost my job. It just does not seem fair that I bought a car as reputable as a mercedes benz and now I have to drive it defectively for over 3 years. In florida, where I live, I have read the possibility of rupture in the airbag is greater due to the humidity. Do I have to die before something is done?

I have been waiting for the airbags in my car to be replaced for the past several years. It is unreasonable for me to have the recall for so many years and that mercedes is unable to complete the repair. Other brands have been a lot more responsive concerning the airbags.

This car have two air bags safety recall I have try to report my car thru mercedes-benz internet site. But get no answer.
Takata recall. I have been driving my vehicle with a potentially fatal driver side airbag for over 2 years. We were told it would be 2018 when we would have a fix back in 2016. We are now well into 2018 with no word as to when we will have a fix. This is ridiculous, I have to drive late hours and far distance to work and it is extremely dangerous to not have appropriate airbags.

Takata recall this is taking way too long. Years. The mb dealer has no information on when a remedy is available. In my mind mb is dragging their feet, they should be taken to task.
Takata recall. The airbag replacement situation has been going on for over 2 years without a remedy. This is unacceptable as I have trouble selling my vehicle right now because of this. Automakers should be held accountable for selling a car with a defective airbag as well and should be able to offer money compensation to purchase the cars back or something along those lines. Being stuck with an unsellable car is very frustrating. A remedy should have been found for this already after 2 years. Please let me know if there are any solutions available for me. Thank you, frederic

"takata recall" I can not get an appointment with my mercedes benz dealer, to have my recalled airbag replace. They said they are working on other models and stating that they do not have the parts for my vehicle. When I asked six months ago about a replacement airbag, the service representative acting asks if it was not a big deal, just standard procedures. Tysinger motor co 2712 magruder blvd hampton va

Takata airbag recall. Marin mercedes benz dealer in san rafael ca will not replace airbag since I was first notified because mercedes benz corporate office has not sent the parts to the dealer. Most recent call to dealer was made 12/26/2017.
Tamara recall : mercedes benz failing to replace in a timely manner as it has been over 2 years since I was made aware of the dangerous airbags and no urgency response in remedying the situation.
Takata recall: there are two outstanding recalls for my vehicle (the federal safety agency 16v081 & 17v017) that have no remedies for over a year. One was posted in february 2016 & another in january 2017. Without this, I cannot have my airbag(s) changed and am worried every time I operate my vehicle. Should my airbags deploy, myself and my passenger run the risk of shrapnel from an inflator rupture. Rather than save lives, these airbags are ticking time bombs!
The airbags have been recalled for several years at this point in time...mercedes has not replaced these defective airbags.
