I have received notice for 2years about this bag recall, but every time I speak to someone at Mercedes Benz South they tell me ' the part not in yet, they will call me when it comes in.' I am documenting every conversation that I have with Mercedes-Benz because if something happened to me while driving that car they will be responsible.

I was driving home from work at approximately 1:30 pm on a clear, sunny day, about a minute away from my home. The road conditions were good, and there was no traffic. I stopped at the corner to make a left turn. As I proceeded to turn, the car suddenly accelerated. I immediately applied the brakes, but they did not engage. I had no control of the car. It jumped the curb ( caught on property owner's camera, going air born), as I continued to brake as hard as I could with the car increasingly accelerating.I crashed through a fence and hit a pole which stopped the car deploying both driver side airbags. There was severe damage to the front right side of the car, and it was totaled. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance.my injury was diagnosed as acute L1 compression fracture along the superior endplate with mild anterior wedging. I was referred to an orthopedic specialist and have not returned to work due to pain and elevated blood pressure. To make matters worse, two days later I was issued a warning for failure to control speed!@&!

Takata recall, I have a 2011 mb that I have received a recall on for replacement. This was received in February 2019, and here it is Sept 19 and nothing has been done. I depend on this car daily for business and driving usage, but recently read where a person was hurt from this issue. I have clients, family, and friends who ride in this vehicle. I have no replacement nor time frame of repair. My complaint is that my vehicle has been sidelined for repair and it should be replaced by mb or takata. I am screwed and no one cares! I have recall paperwork from mb. The car is unsellable, untradeable and undriveable due to safety. What am I supposed to do? this is unconscionable and mb should replace my vehicle at sticker price!

2011 Mercedes Benz. Consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recall.

- Ocean, NJ, USA

Takata airbag recall. Received a notice for the 2016 recall a few months back noting the airbags were ready. Took the car in and the dealership didn't have them noting they were on back order. The dealer had my car for nearly two weeks, so I wrote other dealerships, which never responded. This recall is now 3 years old and there had been no resolution and is unexceptable.
