TAKATA RECALL - I'VE BEEN WAITING ALMOST TWO YEARS, NO REPLACEMENT YET AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I WANT MY AIRBAGS REPLACED NOW, BEFORE THEY FAIL AND I DIE FROM IT.

TAKATA RECALL:I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE MERCEDES BENZ COMPANY TO SEND ME NOTIFICATION FOR MY CAR'S AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE MADE REPEATED CALLS AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE FROM THEM TELLING ME WHEN I CAN BRING IN MY CAR FOR AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND WANT THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL; I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A YEAR TO HAVE MY DEFECTIVE AIR BAG REPLACED AND TO DATE IT IS STILL NOT FIXED AND REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE TWO RECALLS THAT ARE BOTH DANGEROUS AND NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THE FIRST RECALL WAS FEB 2016 AND THE SECOND ONE IN MAY 2016. I KEEP GETTING TOLD THERE IS NOT A FIX READY BUT THER IS A POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. CONSIDERING THE AIRBAGS ARE A " SAFETY FEATURE" THIS IS COUNTER INTUITIVE.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE 3 OPEN RECALLS AND MY DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. IS IT SAFE TO KEEP OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH POTENTIALLY FAULTY AIR BAG?

THIS AIRBAG RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS STILL DO NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT PART. I FEEL UNSAFE AND FRUSTRATED.

"TAKATA RECALL" OVER 1 YEAR SINCE ORIGINAL NOTICES WENT OUT - RECALL NOTICE SAYS PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE - OPEN.

RECEIVED AIRBAG DRIVER AND PASSENGER-SIDE RECALLS IN JUNE 2006 AND AUGUST 2016 AND THE ACTION TO REPLACE AIRBAGS IS STILL PENDING. NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT IT TAKES YEARS TO CLOSE OUT A RECALL ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS RISK FOR INJURY OR DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH EXISTING AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL - MY COMPLAINT IS TO REPORT THE LACK OF TIMELINESS OF REPAIR FOR 2 MANUFACTURER RECALLS: #2016020003 AND #2016070003. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERS SEVERAL TIMES AND THE PARTS FOR REPAIR ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAR'S SAFETY AND LACK OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG TWO YEARS AGO FOR THIS CAR. WE HAVE CALLED THE MERCEDES HOT LINE 4 TIMES, LEFT A MESSAGE AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH ARE DEALER 8 TIMES WITH AN ANSWER OF: "IT IS FINE NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED SO FAR". WE LINE IN MISSOURI WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, HEAT AND THE CAR IS OLD. IN MARCH WE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS CAR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. NO INFORMATION, NO IDEA OF WHEN THE BAGS WILL BE REPLACED. HELP. WE WANT NEW AIRBAGS AND MERCEDES IS DOING NOTHING.

"TAKATA RECALL" ACCORDING TO TAKATA, IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATORRUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. MERCEDES BENZ DID NOT REPLACED MY AIR BAGS. SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED!
