TAKATA INFLATORS-I CURRENTLY HAVE 2 RECALLS ON MY CAR; ONE 10/05/17 NHTSA 17V627 AND OTHER ONE FROM 1/10/18 #18V043 WITH THE AIRBAGS. NEITHER ONE HAS A REMEDY YET AND I WAS TOLD THIS WEEKEND AT THE DEALER TO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO DANGER. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE EARLIER RECALL IS ALSO DANGEROUS YET NO ETA ON REPAIRS. I AM SINGLE PARENT WITH COLLEGE STUDENT AS WELL AS HANDICAP MOTHER IN HER 80S ... I NEED THIS FIXED NOW.....JUST TO BE TOLD I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN THERE IS A REPAIR IS NOT AN ANSWER. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND HAVE NO OPTIONS ON THIS. PLEASE HELP PUT MY CAR IN PRIORITY LINE FOR REPAIR OR ELSE I SHOULD HAVE LKQ LOANER UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. MY CAR SUFFERED FLOOD DAMAGE AT 4 MONTHS OF AGE IN 2014 AND I AM VERY CONCERNED PARTS WERE COMPROMISED THAT COULD AFFECT THIS EVEN MORE! (THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND WE MOVED TO GA 2015 THUS HIGH HUMIDITY EXPOSURE)

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES SINCE JUNE 2016. EACH NOTICE STATES THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND NO TIMETABLE ON WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR. HAD WE KNOWN ABOUT THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WE WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN WE ARE BEING LOWBALLED DUE TO THE OPEN SAFETY RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONE DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODE 0340 FOR A CAMSHAFT SENSOR. BOTH SENSORS ARE REPLACED, LIGHT RETURNS IN TWO DAYS AND ALL PROBLEMS PERSIST. VEHICLE HAS A LONG CRANK, WHEN DIAGNOSED AS THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN TENSION($4400 OF WORK). VEHICLE HAS 66K MILES. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE. IN THE UK AND AUSTRALIA MERCEDES WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE OF CONSUMER PROTECTIONS. I'VE NOTICED A REDUCTION IN MY ABILITY TO SPEED UP QUICKLY AND I'VE READ ANECDOTES OF PEOPLE'S CARS STOPPING DEAD ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HTTPS://MBWORLD.ORG/FORUMS/C-CLASS-W204/680776-C250-TIMING-CHAIN-ISSUES-STILL.HTML

TAMARA RECALL PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN THIS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MERCEDES BACK IN NOV STILL NO REMEDY.

THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH BROKE, KEEPING THE DRIVER FROM OPENING THE DOOR AND SAFELY EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN MANY MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES WHERE THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR LATCH SNAPS OFF INSIDE THE DOOR. TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER MUST LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE.

MY FUEL PUMP ORIGINALLY WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY IN OCTOBER 2017 ORDERED FROM MERCEDES BENZ OF SA WHICH WAS STATED BY THE ETA PROVIDED. UPON CALLING BACK THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET A ETA ON MY FUEL PUMP WHICH HAS MY CAR RUNNING HORRIBLE AND SMELLING LIKE GAS BUT IS MY ONLY CAR. IT HAS BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS SINCE SITUATION UPON CALLING TODAY NO ETA HAS BEEN GIVEN OR UPDATED THEY VOICED ITS ON INTERNATIONAL BACK-ORDER EVERYWHERE YOU CALL IF AN ITEM LIKE THIS ISN'T AVAILABLE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AND RECALL NEEDED IMMEDIATELY TO HOLD MERCEDES RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
