"takata recall" Mercedes-Benz has consistently been pushing back the repair date for my vehicle. The initial repair date was August 2018, which then a letter received noting it would be remedied in December. When December arrived, my local dealer noted that my VIN shows that there is no longer an expected repair date. I contacted Mercedes-Benz directly and they just noted that there is no remedy expected anytime soon. The company has also refused to provide a vehicle in the meantime while a remedy is being found. Personally, the takata airbag issue is worrisome to myself and my family and the fact that Mercedes-Benz does not feel any sympathy and will not provide another vehicle due to the major safety concerns is simply unprofessional. Many other automakers is providing vehicles to their clients, and Mercedes-Benz should be doing the same. They must realize they people do travel to areas they do experience high corrosion rates and therefore, they are more likely to be affected than the average vehicle. Mercedes-Benz should really rethink their stance on these recalls for their clients.

Takata airbag recall I received the first letter in the mail on may, 2016 explaining to me that all Mercedes-bens 2005 ' 2014 where part of the takata airbag recall and Mercedes would be working with the NHTSA to remedy the problem. Also, they told me another letter would arrive notifying me I could bring my vehicle to my local dealership. A few month later L received a postcard telling me to go on the internet to update my information. Then a year and a half later on December, 2017 I received the second letter telling me my vehicle is part of priority group 4 and replacement parts won't be available until March 31, 2018. On January, 2018 I receive the third letter telling me my vehicle is now being moved to priority group 6 and replacement parts won't be available until September 30, 2018. On January, 2019 a year since I received the last letter I went on to https://www.mbusa.com/recall and I put in my information and the website told me the part availability is expected for July, 2019. I feel Mercedes doesn't want to actually fix the problem since they still have to pay their employees time and labor for a job that is free. In addition, I'm afraid to let anyone else drive my vehicle since I feel unsafe driving the vehicle myself. Also, my grandson had this same problem with his Toyota rav-4 2004 he got the letter in the mail called a local dealership; they immediately set him up with an appointment because the lady on the phone said it had to be done asap. That weekend my grandson brought his vehicle in and they fixed it within a couple of hours. Almost three years later February 9, 2016 ' January 15, 2019 Mercedes still hasn't fixed my airbag and I feel they are treating my situation as no big deal. Lastly, if Mercedes never fixes the airbag I might not be able to ever sell my vehicle when the time comes since I still have the faulty takata airbag installed.

Takata recall. I have been complaining to my local mecedes Benz dealer that my SRS light is now on. I feel this is putting me in a dangerous situation because there is a recall to fix the airbag. I feel my car should be a priority as one of the first to get fixed since the warning is there now. I feel my life and those of my loved ones are unnecessarily being put in harms way when they can fix this issue immediately. I want takata to issue me a voucher for my Mercedes to be checked immediately. I know other cars need to be changed but theirs is not displaying a "warning" that something is wrong right now. Please help.
