2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E350 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: THIS RECALL WAS IN JANUARY 2018 AND THE CAR'S AIRBAGS STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY CAN REPLACE THEM. THIS IS UN-ACCEPTABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

FUEL SMELL WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE. CONDITION GOT WORSE OVER A FEW WEEKS UNTIL FUEL COULD BE SMELLED WHILE DRIVING. TOOK IN FOR REPAIR. FUEL FILTER WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING ON DRIVERS SIDE.

STRONG FUEL SMELL WHEN PAKED (STATIONARY) IN THE GARAGE AT HOME AND NOW CAN ALSO SMELL WHILE DRIVING. CAR HAS 56700 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A MONTH

PRE-SAFETY INOPERABLE MESSAGE COMES ON AND THE CAR ACTS SLUGGISH THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AND RISK THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE, I FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ON DIFFERENT MODELS AND YEARS MAY BE MERCEDES SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE CARS AFFECTED AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE NOTIFICATION OF A SIDE AIR BAG DEFECT WHICH COULD INJURE OR KILL A PASSENGER, AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM MERCEDES BENZ. THE LOCAL DEALER IN SARASOTA, FL SAYS THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT. IF THEY ARE MANUFACTURING VEHICLES WITH SAFE AIR BAGS, THEN WHY CAN'T THEY FIX MINE?

MY LOCAL DEALER (MERCEDES BENZ OF FORT MYERS) HAS NOT HAD THE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL, AND HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THEM. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, WITH NO RESOLUTION.
