TAKATA RECALL (#17V017) - MY ISSUE WITH THIS RECALL IS THE UNACCEPTABLE TIMELINESS IN MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIR. IN JANUARY 2017, I WAS NOTIFIED VIA A RECALL LETTER FROM MERCEDES THAT MY CAR'S FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG WAS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN A REPAIR WAS AVAILABLE. TO DATE (APRIL 2019), THIS HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED BY MERCEDES AND CURRENTLY, PER THEIR WEBSITE, THERE IS NO TIMELINE ON WHEN THIS REPAIR CAN BE MADE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN TERMS OF THE TIMELINESS OF COMPLETING THIS REPAIR GIVEN THE SERIOUS (AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY) NATURE OF THE FLAW WITH THE TAKATA INFLATORS SHOULD THE AIR BAG DEPLOY. WHEN I ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE DELAY IN THIS REPAIR WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEIR ADVICE WAS TO AVOID HAVING A PERSON RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - WHICH IS IMPRACTICAL AND NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE CONSIDERING THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE RACALL NOTICE FEB.2017 WITH NOTIFICATION OF FURTHER NOTICE ONCE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. FIRST OF LET ME ADDRESS THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND IT IS ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO SINCE FIRST NOTICE. SECOND OF ALL I AM TRYING TO SELL MY CAR BUT DO NOT RECEIVE THE VALUE I SHOULD RECEIVE DUE TO THE OPEN SAFETY RECALL. MY HANDS ARE TIGHT AT THIS POINT AND IT CAN'T BE RIGHT TO LOSE IN VALUE OF THE CAR DUE TO AN OUTSTANDING SAFETY CALL WHICH CAN'T BE ADDRESSED AT THIS POINT. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS IN ORDER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY THE SAFETY OF MY MY LIFE AND THE PASSENGERS LIFE. WHO COMES UP WITH THE DIFFERENCE IN VALUE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO REPAIR IN A TIMELY MATTER. I BELIEVE ALMOST 2 YEARS IS PLENTY OF TIME TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. REGARDS

I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY AIRBAGS ARE AT DEFAULT AND HAVE A RECALL FOR BEING DEFECTIVE. MERCEDES-BENZ HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE, SO I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH AIRBAGS THAT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH UPON AN ACCIDENT. CURRENTLY I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED OR ADDRESSED .
