TAKATA RECALL -- WHAT OTHER ALTERNATIVES ARE AVAILABLE SINCE THE MANUFACTURERS ARE TAKING FOREVER TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS? DOES ANYONE IN AMERICA MAKE AIRBAGS? I TOOK MY CAR TO TYSINGER TODAY AND ASKED THEM TO JUST DEACTIVATE BOTH AIRBAGS AND THE GUY SAID IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW, BUT I FOUND A FORM REGARDING DEACTIVATION OF THE BAGS. SO, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO DEACTIVATE THE BAGS? I FEEL LESS AT RISK DRIVING THIS CAR WITHOUT THOSE BAGS RUPTURING. I SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THOSE AIRBAGS AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A SURPRISE THIS YEAR -- SURPRISE IS ON ME -- NOT HAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION, WE SHOULD FEEL SAFE IN OUR CARS! *TR

IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ENGINEERING FLAW. THERE IS A BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILS AND THEY ARE AWARE AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT COSTING THE CONSUMER 1000S OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE BEARING NORMALLY FAILS AT 50000 TO 90000 MILES SOME FAIL SOONER. MANY HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY AND WERE TREATED POORLY AND BASICALLY THE COMPANY DOES NOT CARE. WE JUST HAD OUR REPLACED LAST WEEK COSTING US 5200.00 PLEASE CHECK THE WEB YOU WILL FIND A LOT OF INFORMATION. MERCEDES KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND EVEN RESOLVED IT IN IT'S REBUILDS OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAVE NOT OFFERED A RECALL AND THIS IS WRONG AND WE SHOULD ALL GET OUR MONEY BACK BECAUSE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUES AS YOUR TRANSMISSION COULD SEIZE .
