"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT MY CAR USED IN JANUARY 2017 WITH AN OPEN RECALL FROM JANUARY 2016, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND MERCEDES BENZ OF WALNUT CREEK HAS STATED THEY WILL CONTACT ME WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I WORRY CONSTANTLY ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT TAKES ALMOST 2 YEARS TO REPLACE AN ITEM THAT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE MY DEATH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY.

TAMARA RECALL. IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL FOR THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND DEALERS ARE STILL UNABLE TO FIX DUE TO NO PARTS BEING AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - NO REMEDY IN A TIMELY MANNER. NO ACCIDENT BUT I WANT THE ISSUE FIXED

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING WITH MERCEDES SINCE THE RECALL WAS INITIATED IN THE SYSTEM (OVER A YEAR...ALMOST 2 NOW) ABOUT GETTING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AS MY NOW PREGNANT WIFE DRIVES THAT VEHICLE. THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR ARE THE RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS BUT, NO ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY MERCEDES TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL FOR RESOLUTION THUS PLACING MILLIONS IN HARMS WAY AS A RESULT OF INACTION. I WONDER WHAT THE NEWS WOULD THINK OF THIS OR MY ATTORNEY?
