2010 MERCEDES-BENZ C300 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: AIRBAG FIX/REMEDY UNAVAILABLE, WHICH IS UNTIMELY AND CONTINUES TO PLACE THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS AT RISK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND, THUS, UNACCEPTABLE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES BENZ C300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V363000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V081000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE SO THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL- MY CAR IS RECALLED AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR WITH THE DEALER. THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER AND BOTH HAVE FAILED TO SCHEDULE A TIME FOR REPAIR.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST RECEIVED MY CAR. I CAME TO FIND OUT ONCE IN ACCIDENT 4/30/17 THAT THERE WERE ZERO AIRBAGS IN THE CAR AT ALL! THIS IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE

"TAKATA RECALL" TWO AIRBAG RECALLS 2/11/16 & 5/25/16 - CALLED RECOMMENDED DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE FOR FREE - THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY MERCEDES BENZ REPORTEDLY DUE TO A LACK OF PARTS. THE RECALL IS ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD AND NUMEROUS NOTICES TO ME INDICATE THAT PARTS TO ADDRESS THE RECALL ARE UNAVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY WILL LEAVE MY RECALL UNADDRESSED. I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON THAT MERCEDES BENZ SAYS IS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT I AM NOT CERTAIN IF THAT STATEMENT IS ACCURATE. I LIMIT THE USE OF THIS CAR SINCE I AM NOT CERTAIN THAT IT'S SAFE FOR ME AND MY PASSENGERS.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM MERCEDES, APPARENTLY THEY DO NOT INTENT TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE CAR SUDDENLY LOCKED. ALL ELECTRICAL SHUT SUDDENLY. LUCKILY WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEWAY. MECHANICS IN GENERAL ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE MERCEDES C300 CLASS. THE REPAIRS WERE ASTRONOMICAL. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MERCEDES BENZ DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!! IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN IN A FREEWAY COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED WITH THIS AND HAVE MERCEDES BENZ ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY. I ALSO HAVE THE TAKATA RECALL AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!!!!

TAKATA RECALL, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE AS YET, BUT CONTACTED THE DEALER TO GET AIRBAG REPLACED AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE AIRBAG AND WE WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY RISK AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE TO FIX SOMETHING THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THANK YOU
