10/26/2017 - I HAVE REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT AND WAS TOLD BY MERCEDES THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE MADE APPOINTMENTS AND HAVE DISCUSSED THE SITUATION WITH PATTERSON IN WICHITA FALLS TX ABOUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY (PATTERSONS) DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE SITUATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE CONTACTED MERCEDES ABOUT THIS AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO EITHER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR. THE LIGHT STAYS ON. HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. STATED WHEN THEY ARE TOLD WHAT TO DO PATERSON'S WILL CONTACT ME. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED. I DID HOWEVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT MARCH 2015 AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY!

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED FOR CLOSE TO TWO YEARS NOW THAT MY AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT IN WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT BUT UNTIL TODAY WHEN I RECEIVED NOTICED THAT THIS COMPANY IS FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY I FEEL LESS CONFIDENT THAT THERE WILL BE A REPLACEMENT IN TIME. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR KNOWING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS IN IT. WHEN CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP FOR A REPLACEMENT THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT THEY ARE IN BACK ORDER AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CLOSE TO TWO YEARS. SOMETHING SO SERIOUS IN MY CAR THAT CAN POTENTIAL IMPACT MY FAMILY AN I IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T FEEL I CAN ENJOY MY CAR FULLY DUE TO THE CONSTANT CONCERN OF THESE RECALLED AIRBAGS IN MY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL AND BENZ SAID IT CANNOT DO ANYTHING

'TAKATA RECALL' I HAVE RECEIVED TWO NHTSA RECALL#16V-081 IN MAY 2016 AND NHTSA RECALL#16V-363 IN AUGUST 2016. I HAVE THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY STILL HAVE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THIS RECALL.

"TAKATA RECALL" HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON MAY AND AUGUST 2016 FROM MERCEDES BENZ USA TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WHICH STATES THAT THEY MAY RUPTURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, LIKELY TO OCCUR IF VEHICLE IS EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE TEMPS HAVE BEEN IN THE 100S WITH OFF THE CHARTS HUMIDITY EVERY MONTH! I LIVE IN FEAR OF DRIVING MY CAR AND DYING IN AN AIRBAG EXPLOSION. WEEKLY CALLS TO THE MERCEDES DEALER SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET! MY HUSBAND'S 2007 HONDA RIDGELINE WAS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY IT'S TAKING SO LONG TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT FOR MY CAR? THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEE REPAIRED YET. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, BEFORE I OR MY FAMILY ARE INJURED.

TAKATA AIRBAGS DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BEEN ON RECALL SINCE BEFORE FEBRUARY 2016. THE CAR LIVES IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, ONE OF THE MOST HUMID CLIMATES IN THE COUNTRY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

MY WIFE AND I ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND HAVE HAD THEM DISCONNECTED.

IT'S VERY UNREASONABLE TO HAVE TO WAIT THIS LONG FOR A REMEDY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR DEATH.
