TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MARCH 2017 AND STILL NO FIX. I'M DRIVING MY WIFE AROUND SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT KNOWING IT'S UNSAFE. MERCEDES SHOULD EITHER FIX THIS DANGER OR RECALL MY CAR. WHY IS NOT MORE BEING DONE?

MY AIRBAGS GO ON AND OFF ON THERE OWN. MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALWAYS MESSED UP. MY LIGHTING GOES ON AND OFF, THE ELECTRICAL HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SOMETIMES JSUT SHUT OFF COMPLEYTELY AND NOT TUREN ON FOR DAYS. I HAVE HAD TIMES I HAD TO GET MY VEHICLE TOWED.
