TAKATA RECALL - MY MERCEDES DEALER IS INDICATING THERE IS NO PRODUCT AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR. THE PROGRAM ESTIMATES FOR TIMING OF REPLACEMENTS ARE NO LONGER ACCURATE. WHEN WILL MY CAR GET FIXED AND IS MERCEDES ASSUMING ALL SAFETY LIABILITY FOR THEIR SUB CONTRACTOR FAILURE? EVERY DAY THIS CAR IS DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER IS A SAFETY RISK TO HER. HOW IS NHTSA PROVIDING ENFORCEMENT PRESSURE AGAINST MERCEDES?

THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLES WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR OCCUPANTS TO EXIT THE CAR BRAKES, WHAT HAPPENS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY FOR OLDER, OR DISABLED, CHILDREN TO EXIT? TERRIBLE CAN'T GET OUT OF CAR IN IN AN ACCIDENT? LOOK ON THE INTERNET HOW MANY COMPLAINTS, DEALER SAID IT IS A BAD ENGINEERING DESIGN

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS INFORMED A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP ( MERCEDES OF WALNUT CREEK, WALNUT CREEK, CA.) HAS NOT MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIR.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR TO GET MY AIR BAGS REPLACED AT FORT PIERCE MERCEDES, AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME I HAVE TO WAIT LONGER. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND I CANNOT EVEN SELL MY CAR TO BUY A SAFE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL I AM VERY CONCERNED ON MY COMMUTES TO AND FROM WORK WITH MY C300 VEHICAL. I HAVE ESCALATED AND COMPLAINED TO MERCEDES BENZ CORP IN EARLY 2017 OVER THE REMEDIATION OF MY TAKATA AIRBAGS BEING IN A HUMID AND HOT HIGH RISK ZONE. THEY ONLY RECENTLY 2017 ACKNOWLEDGE THE REMEDIATION ISSUE AND SENT A LETTER TO MY HOME IN DEC 2017 ABOUT BEING IN PRIOTY GROUP 4 AND THAT NHTSA RECENTLY GRANTED AN EXTENSION ON REMEDIATION FOR HAVING PARTS TILL MARCH 31 2018. TODAY IS APRIL 10, 2018 AND I HAVE RECIEVED NO LETTERS FROM MB CORP ON ANY UPDATES. I DID RECIEVE A LETTER FROM AUTONATION TODAY INDICATING TO CALL MY LOCAL MB DELEARSHIP TO VERIFY OPEN RECALL, CHECK IF PART AVAILABLE, OR NEED TO BE ORDERED. I CALLED THE LOCAL DELEARSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE LETTER BUT HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT IT WAS ABOUT. THEY STATED THAT MY RECALL IS STILL PENDING AND THEY ARE UNSURE OF WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE PASSED DEADLINE FOR PARTS OF MARCH 31 2018 THEY INDICATED TO FOLLOW UP WITH MB CORPORATE. I DID FOLLOW UP WITH MB CORPORATE TO GET ANY UPDATES BUT THEY HAVE AUTOMATED MESSAGES TO CUSTOMERS TO CHECK ON WEBSITE. WHEN YOU CHECK WEBSITE RECALL SAYS PENDING. SO FAR MB CORP IS PASSED THEIR EXTENDED REMEDIATION DATE OF MARCH 31 2018 GIVEN TO THEM BY NHTSA. THEY HAVE PROVIDED NO UPDATES TO ME AS A CUSTOMER OF WHEN OR WHY PARTS ARE NOT READY. I FIND ALL THIS VERY UNACCEPTABLE AS A CUSTOMER DRIVING A CAR THAT I CAN NOT RESALE TO ANOTHER PERSON PUTTING THEM AT RISK. SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME I WILL ENSURE THAT MY FAMILY SEEKS ACCOUNTABILTY FROM ALL RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE REMEDIATION OF THESE AIRBAGS FOR MB CORPORTATE. PLEASE ENFORCE STRICTER REGULATGIONS ON MB CORP TO COMPLY ON REMEDIATION ON HIGH RISK CARS NOW. NOT MY FIRST SAFETY REPORT RECORDED WITH NHTSA.GOV.
