WE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM 3RD PARTY. TRANSMISSION GEAR SOUND IS COMING SO HARD. I HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE ONLY 48K. I WEN TO DELAR, HE TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION OR CONTACT HEAD OFFICE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME FOR NEXT STEP.

AFTER THERE INSPECTION, SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORM ME THIS WAS NORMAL, THE NOISE I'M HEARING IS THE ENGINE IS PUSHING THE OIL FASTER TO THE CHAMBER, THIS PROCESS PREVENT VEHICLE WARM-UP WAIT, ASK TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE SHOP MANAGER, STILL WAITING. YES, STILL HAVE THE KNOCKING NOISE DURING VEHICLE START-UP.

WHILE UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH REAR TIRES EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION ON THE INNER WALLS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

"TAKATA RECALL" SIX MONTHS AFTER THE TAKATA SAFETY RECALL WAS ISSUED I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ COSTUMER SERVICE VIA PHONE ASKING FOR A TIME LINE AS TO WHEN AND HOW THEY PLAN TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION. THE ANSWER I RECEIVED WAS THAT THEY NOT ONLY HAVE NO TIMELINE TO RESOLVE THE MATTER BUT THAT THE PROBLEM INVOLVING MY CAR MODEL WAS NOT A PRIORITY SINCE THEY HAVE HAD NO INCIDENTS. I AM FILLING THIS COMPLAIN BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER IS FAILING TO RESOLVE THE MATTER IN A TIMELY MANNER. MERCEDES BENZ IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANY SPECIFIC PLANS TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE SIX MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. THEY CITED THE RECALL IS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE, THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO INCIDENTS AND WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE FACT THAT OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE PLANS OR ARE FIXING THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD "THEY MUST HAVE HAD INCIDENTS". AM I TO CONCLUDE THEY ARE WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT IN ONE OF THEIR CARS TO START ACTING UPON THIS ISSUE?
