Takata recall--my 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 had recalls for driver and also passenger airbags on 2/11/16 and 5/23/16 respectively. Currently there are no replacement airbags available. Thank goodness, my vehicle has not been involved in an accident that deployed the airbags. But, I don't feel safe in the vehicle as the deployment of the airbags could cause death or serious injury for the driver and/ or the passenger. As my car is now 6 1/2 yrs of age, I decided to trade it in on a new vehicle. I was given very bad news that because there was no fix for the airbags, I would get a very low offer for my trade in. In fact, the dealership really didn't want my car as a trade at all!!

Air bags have not been replaced although I call regularly to find out when replacements are available. I live in a hot and humid city, so getting the replacement is vital.

Takata recall... I can't seem to find an authorized Mercedes dealership here in Hawaii that has the parts to fix my recall. I'm am pregnant and have children and want this fixed. I don't want to wait until something happens before it gets fixed. It will be a bad ending for everyone involved.

"takata recall" it has been one year since I received a letter about the recall. I live in zone a. I have called Mercedes Benz several times about updates and possible timeline for replacement of the defective drivers and passenger side airbags. Each time I am told there is no solution and they are waiting for parts along with the reference to there have been no reported situations of premature deployment of the bags in a Mercedes Benz. When asked about frontal collisions there was no response. Is there any positive information about this recall?
