Takata recall since January 2018 I have been waiting for the replacement parts to arrive for this recall. I have moved to Canada and in order to transfer my vehicle there can be no outstanding recalls. I have been contacting Mercedes for over a year yet they are unable to provide any answers as to when the repair will be done. This recall has been outstanding for far too long and is preventing me from transferring my vehicle.

Takata recall - I am filing this complaint because of the length of the recall going on for 3 years now, and still is not complete. Mercedes has several times pushed out the date that the parts would be available. Now, Mercedes is showing that the parts will be available in June 2019. This is a dangerous problem that we are expected to continue to drive with the risk of potential injuries from the airbag inflator being faulty. They should find the means and parts to fix this issues as soon as possible. This shouldn't take over 3 years, and is simply unacceptable.

Takata recall: I have contacted Mercedes Benz numerous times concerning the recall and I cannot get a straight answer. The last time (a few weeks ago by corporate) I was told that since they have had numerous airbags go off and no one was terribly injured (I.e. shrapnel) not to be concerned about the recall. I have also been told that they cannot get the new parts. This is the story they are telling since day one of the recall. I honestly don't think Mercedes Benz has any intention of fixing this dangerous issue. This is very upsetting since I feel I am driving my family around in a time bomb due to the uncertainty of these air bags. Isn't there anything you can do? I truly believe they are lying since they do not want to fix these airbags and have pretty much said they are not going to do so based on my last conversation. This is the information coming from corporate.
