TAKATA RECALL MERCEDES HAS OPEN RECALL ON A GROUND WIRE THAT MAY MALFUNCTION CAUSING AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX OFFERED

I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR REGARDING MY AIRBAG RECALL AND STILL NO DEALER CAN TELL ME WHEN THE REPLACEMENT WILL BE IN. JUST YESTERDAY 10/26/2017 I RECEIVED A MAILER NOTICE THAT TK HOLDINGS HAS FILED FOR CHAPTER 11. HOW DO I GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED?

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY C-250 CONCERNING THE TAKATA AS WELL AS THE STEERING COLUMM WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD CAUSE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED MERCEDES THEY SAID TO WAIT UNTIL THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STOP IMMEDIATELY CALL FOR A TOW AND THEY WOULD BRING IT IN AND COULD TAKE QUITE SOME TIME TO GET PARTS AND REPAIR. IN MY UNDERSTANDING IF THE AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY DOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD ENDANGER MANY LIVES. NOT SURE I CAM COMFORTABLE WITH THE ANSWERS I GOT FROM MERCEDES. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT.

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. I CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL VIA WWWAIRBAGRECALL.COM AND CALLED PARK PLACE MERCEDES IN GRAPEVINE, TX. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INSISTED MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED. SHE WAS RUDE AND JUST KEPT SAYING IT WAS NOT RECALLED. BTW, THIS HAPPENED OCTOBER 25, 2017. THE DROP DOWN BELOW WOULD ONLY LET ME ENTER OCTOBER 24 OR BEFORE.

TAKATA RECALL: MY MERCEDES DEALER CANNOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIR BAG, CAUSING ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND RISK PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

THOUGH I APPEAR TO HAVE MANAGED ONLY MINIMAL INJURY IN THE RANDOM MALFUNCTIONING DEPLOYMENT OF MY STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR COLLISION, I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY MY CAR'S AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY WHILE I WAS DRIVING 50, 60 OR 70 MPH. I WAS ACTUALLY PARKED WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION AS WELL. EVEN IF THE CAR IS REPAIRED, IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND EVEN LEAD TO FATALITIES OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER ADJACENT VEHICLES' PASSENGERS ON THE ROAD. MY WIFE PERSONALLY DOESN'T WANT TO RIDE IN THAT CAR KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I DID A LITTLE INVESTIGATING AND I FOUND THAT MERCEDES-BENZ HAS A RECENT HISTORY OF THESE ISSUES. PLEASE SEE ARTICLE FROM NY TIMES BELOW. THE MB DEALERSHIP IS STILL TESTING MY CAR TO FIGURE THINGS OUT BUT MY MAJOR CONCERN IS WITH THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, OTHER DRIVERS, AND OTHER C 250 OWNERS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STILL NOT TAKEN A STANCE SO THIS IS NOT SO MUCH A COMPLAINT AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO A RECALL. THANK YOU.
