I have reached out to Mercedes-Benz to have the 2 recalls fixed. They tell me I will receive a letter with instructions. I have not received any letters and it's been more than 6 months.

Takata recall - Mercedes Benz committed to a date and then reneged. Our vehicle is one of the oldest vehicles and in the highest priority zone for the takata recall and airbag replacement. It is already two years past the deadline for Mercedes to have replaced the airbag. After weeks of emails and phone calls this past spring, Mercedes promised us the part would be ready on June 30. They repeatedly confirmed this date until the day passed and no part arrived. Now they say it will be December at the earliest, or that it could actually be years until the defective airbag is replaced. Meanwhile, this vehicle is dangerous to drive, but unlike other automakers, Mercedes is not offering a loaner vehicle to use safel yin the meantime.

Takata recall -- inaction from Mercedes Benz we first reached out to Mercedes in early may of this year. We called several local dealers to ask about when they could have their airbag replaced, but we couldn't get an answer. We then contacted Mercedes corporate. We have since exchanged many emails and many phone calls, but the car remains unrepaired. At first, it seemed like we were making progress: We were told parts would be ready in June 2018. We asked that Mercedes confirm this date, and they did, via email on May 18. We followed up in June to ask if the parts were still on track. We received an email on June 12 from Mercedes quality assurance department saying "I have checked with our product advisor today and was advised that the June 30 date for airbag availability is realistic and they have no reason to believe they will be delayed." We inquired again as the end of the month approached and Mercedes wrote: "I have confirmed that the takata replacement for your father's vehicle will be carried out as previously advised. The campaign will be launched today and customer letters will be sent out on June 29th. The dealers are being notified today." However, the scheduled delivery for the parts came and passed. We called three Mercedes dealers in orange county, ca. None had the part and none knew when the part would get there. Again, we had to be the bridge between the local dealers and Mercedes corporate. Once we finally reached Mercedes, they changed the date of delivery of the takata airbag parts to December 2018. Schedules slip, but not to this degree and so suddenly without any insight. Lastly, when we pressed for some commitment that the December date would be met, we were told that we could be years away from addressing the danger. We are deeply concerned for ourselves and others driving these dangerous vehicles.

Takata recall. It seems to me that the government is protecting the manufactures and not the public. Mercedes, in particular, keeps pushing any action. If you read their extension letter dated 3/1/2018. Https://www.NHTSA.gov/sites/NHTSA.dot.gov/files/documents/redacted_-_mbusa_extension_request_for_priority_group_4_3.1.18_revised.pdf it's pretty clear that addressing this is low on their priority list. They claim to have trouble obtaining a car and shipping it to germany. Give me a break. I could have the car in less than a week and ship in another week to germany. They ask for an extension until 6/30/2018. I now see that they have pushed it until 12/31/2018, probably because they are having trouble finding another model. I ask that you protect the public and stop giving extensions for ridiculous reason like not being able to obtain a particular model. They have had 2 years to do what I could do in a day.
