THIS IS RIDICULOUS ALREADY!! THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER. I HAVE 2 VEHICLES, ONE A 2006 FORD FUSION AND ONE A 2012 MERCEDES C300, NEITHER OF THEM ARE SAFE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN IN!!!!

TAKATA RECALL! I TOOK MY 2012 MERCEDES IN FOR ITS MAINTENANCE . AT THIS TIME, I WAS APPROACHED AND TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST DUE TO AIRBAGS. AT THIS TIME, I WAS INFORMED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS SEVERELY CONCERNED FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THIS WAS HER CAR! I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A FIX. THAT I COULD TAKE THE RISK OF MY DAUGHTER BEING SEVERELY INJURED. WOW!! LET ME ASK YOU WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE! I THEN OUT OF FEAR, TRADED MY 2012 MERCEDES IN. TOOK A HUGE LOSS AND BOUGHT HER A NEWER VEHICLE. HER OTHER CAR WAS PAID OFF. I HAD TO PUT A DORK PAYMENT ON YET ANOTHER CAR WITH A 2 YEAR FINANCE. WHY SHOULD I BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! I DIDN'T PUT THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR. I THOUGHT AS A MOTHER, I WAS PURCHASING A SAFE RELIABLE CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER. I'M OUT $32,000 ... WHO'S GOING TO JUSTIFY THIS? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO EAT THIS COST! I DON'T THINK SO! I NEED TO BE REIMBURSED THE DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE COST TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. WHY SHOULD THE MERCEDES DEALER BE ABLE TO PROFIT OFF ME AS WELL? THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO FIX THE AIRBAGS THEN TURN AROUND & SELL THE CAR @ THE USUAL JACKED UP COST. THIS IS NOT FAIR! SOMEONE BEST FIND THE ANSWER.
