2010 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 Complaints

THE GROUND WIRE FOR THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS IS HEATING UP. MERCEDES DEALER FIXED THIS, PER NHTSA RECALL #14V-177 BUT THE ISSUE IS REOCCURRING.

TAKATA RECALL I'VE BEEN WAITING FOE 3 YEARS WITH A LOADED GUN POINTED AT MY CHEST CENTER MASS TO GET MY AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR ON A CAR THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE DEALER AS FULLY RECONDITIONED. WHEN IS THIS REPAIR ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE, BECAUSE TAKATA GOT OUT FROM UNDER THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BY FILING BANKRUPTCY, AND REORGANIZING AND NOW THE NEW CORPORATION IS TAKING THEIR SWEET TIME MAKING A PROFIT ON EVERY RECALL PERFORMED, AND WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND HOPE OUR CARS DON'T EXPLODE AND SHOOT SHRAPNEL INTO OUR CHESTS. NOT WHY I BOUGHT A MERCEDES BENZ.

TAMARA RECALL. IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MERCEDES TELLING ME THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE AIRBAGS INFLATORS ON MY VEHICLE. SO FAR NOTHING. I'M AFRAID SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN WHILE MY WIFE AND I ARE DRIVING. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE FIXED?
