I was in a collision and the airbags did not deploy. There was a recall on airbags for the Mercedes C300 within the year my vehicle was made, however, the recall did not include my VIN. Also, the sunroof drain is faulty, which was also recalled on other Mercedes C300s within the same production year, again not my VIN, but upon inspection by a certified dealership, it appears to be the same issue as other recalled vehicles.

The sam box (electrical system fuze panel) located under the hood is in a spot where if the lid isn't on correctly water will drain from the windshield right into the sam box and cause the vehicles electrical system to deploy the steering wheel airbag. That's at least what happened to me. It was raining out that day and I guess I went over a bump that caused the lid of the sam to get out of place. I drove home and the car seat for a few hours. I went out upon unlocking the door as soon as I pulled the handle to open the driver side door the steering wheel airbag blew and the vehicle is now in srs mode. The dealership had told me that it's a design flaw but wants me to pay for the diagnostic. No lights were on and I did not file a police report.

I received notice of airbag recalls in 2016. Finally received a letter from Mercedes Benz usa stating they had airbags in September 2019. (this was after calling dealer repeatedly regarding airbags and told there wasn't a solution yet). Tried calling Mercedes Benz dealer-autonation Mercedes bellevue wa. Could not get thru, could not leave message it was very frustrating. Finally called sales- receptionist walked back to service and I got to speak to customer service rep. Emailed Mercedes Benz usa on 10/-5/19 @ 0923. Main office contacted autonation Mercedes bellevue called me and scheduled airbag replacement 11/08/19@0900. Left my vehicle all day- driver and passenger airbag replacement. At 1600 was called and told they didn't have airbags. So drove my car home- without replacement airbags. Was told sirbags were reordered and they would call when in. No call was received/ called several times spoke with service rep chad, finally was rescheduled for December 2019- was called an hour later and cancelled. Have not heard from them since. To say this is deplorable service is an understatement. One week after November appt. Received a text that my battery showed problems- asked what problem no response. Finally called and asked and they said it was low- but I had it checked and it was fine. I have also emailed head company in Georgia. Please look into this and this company.

Upon finding out that this vehicle has two open airbag recalls, and the NHTSA website saying parts where available, I contacted the dealer for assistance in replacing the airbags. The dealer said that the airbags were on backorder from the manufacture with no timeline for potential replacement. Per instructions on the NHTSA website I am filling out this form to let the NHTSA know the manufacture has failed / is unable to remedy this dangerous safety recall in a timely manner
