2015 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK350 Complaints

NOTICE RECEIVED MARCH 2019 REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG (PASSENGER) RECALL. CONTACTED MERCEDES-BENZ FOR REPLACEMENT INFORMATION. WAS TOLD THAT REPLACEMENTS WERE ON ORDER BUT NOT RECEIVED. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER SEVERAL TIMES DURING 2019, SAME INFORMATION PROVIDED. SUBMITTED COMPLAINT TO NHTSA 21 JANUARY 2020 WHICH PROVOKED A CONTACT FROM MANUFACTURER STATING THAT REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER 2020. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER TODAY, 7 OCTOBER 2020 FOR UPDATE: NO INFORMATION, STILL WAITING ON REPLACEMENTS. AS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN DEEMED DEFECTIVE AND AS I LIVE IN THE ENVIRONMENT DETERMINED TO HAVE AN ACCELERATED DEGRADATION OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COMPONENTS, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF MOVEMENT BY MERCEDES-BENZ ON A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE; TO MITIGATE THE INJURY/DEATH RISK, I DELIBERATELY LIMIT THE VEHICLE'S USE. NEED ACTION BY MERCEDES-BENZ ASAP.

RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEB 2019. THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY. CAR REMAINS UNSAFE AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE IN FOR EXPECTED VALUE BECAUSE OF THE RECALL.

RECALL IN EFFECT WHEN MERCEDES BENZ DEALER SOLD TO US AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THOUGH IT HAS BEEN OVER 1 1/2 YEARS.

THE KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION SWITCH, THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STARTED AND/OR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAY GO INTO PARK AT SPEEDS BELOW 6 KM/H.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY 2015 GLK350. WHEN I PURCHASED IT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE. SO I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH THE AIRBAG TURNED OFF(BY THE DEALER) AND THE DEALER CAN'T TELL ME WHEN OR IF THIS WILL BE REPLACED.
