TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE PART TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THEY KEEP TELLING ME PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AFTER AT LEAST 2 YEARS. THE LETTERS RECEIVED FROM MERCEDES CLEARLY STATE THAT THE AIRBAG CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH, YET WE ARE TOLD TO PATIENTLY WAIT FOR THEM TO CALL WHEN THEY HAVE A SOLUTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE A PRIORITY BY EITHER MB OR ANOTHER SUPPLIER OF AIRBAGS!!!

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:16V081 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 2016020003 RECALL DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 2016. MERCEDES HAS NO REMEDY AND STATES IT IS SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING VEHICLE. 21 MONTHS FROM RECALL DATE TO TODAY WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM IS WAY EXCESSIVE.

TAKATA RECALL.... DEALERSHIP AND MERCEDES BENZ HAVE ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECTIVE ITEM BUT HAS FAILED TO REPLACE OR GIVE A DATE TO EXPECT REPLACEMENT... THEY HAVE PUT THIS OFF FOR OVER 2 YEARS... MERCEDES BENZ OF NORTH HOUSTON HAD BEEN MY PRIMARY DEALERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE...
