Takata recalls I have been getting repeated letters regarding the recall of the airbags in my Glk350. Each notice delays the correction for another year. What can I do to get the problem fixed in a more timely manner?

Takata recall: There are two outstanding recalls for my vehicle (NHTSA 16V081 & 17V017) that have no remedies for over a year. One was posted in February 2016 & another in January 2017. Without this, I cannot have my airbag(s) changed and am worried every time I operate my vehicle. Should my airbags deploy, myself and my passenger run the risk of shrapnel from an inflator rupture. Rather than save lives, these airbags are ticking time bombs!

Takata recall - my vehicle has been under recall for a couple of years due to malfunction of driver side and passenger side airbags. I've received several notices via mail regarding the recalls and I have reached out to Mercedes Benz to help resolve the issue. Every time I call Mercedes Benz and my local Mercedes Benz dealer about the airbag parts, I am told my airbag recalls are "pending". my vehicle is unsafe to drive for myself and my passengers. My attorney has sent a letter to Mercedes Benz and to NHTSA regarding the situation as my vehicle has not yet been fixed and is a great hazard. The airbag parts, I am told, are no longer being manufactured. I don't feel secure driving my vehicle and am highly disappointed in the way my situation is being handled. Mercedes Benz is aware of the law that they must fix the problem, however, they are not acting quickly to remedy the current issue. It is as if a major accident must occur before the problem gets fixed, which could result in great injury or death to myself and my passengers. I check the takataspecialmaster.com website every single day, waiting on the claim forms to show so I can make my claim - the forms are still not available. This is unsatisfactory.

I called to inquire about the airbag recall and the rep that answered the phone said, they were not doing the year of my car right now, and that I can call back to see when they are. I asked so, am I suppose to just keep driving the car until, I hear from you all, the lady said, I'm not sure that is up to you. I have tried taking the car twice and I was told they don't have the parts yet, so I don't know what else to do. (not sure of exact date of this conversation)

Takata recall - every so often the passenger airbag light comes on when no one is sitting in the seat while the vehicle is in motion on my Mercedes 2012 Glk350 4matic. When this happens I have to stop and turn the vehicle off, then turn vehicle back on to see light goes away.

Takata recall no solution available yet, or likely to be since the company has filed bankruptcy. Makes for an unnerving situation to drive the vehicle.
