“I was advised 2 plus years ago by delray beach, fl.mercedes benz dealer that an airbag recall was in effect on my mercedes benz. I have visited the dealer, now owned by auto nation, multiple times only to be told parts were (still) not in stock. I subsequently corresponded with the ceo ag daimler, stuttgart, germany. His first response to me was it's not daimler ag's problem rather mercedes benz USA. In my second letter to ag daimler I reiterated my plea that my cars value continues to decline & I can not trade with an open recall on my vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11317525, filed 2020-03, 62,000 miles“Rear subframe rusted through. This is a safety issue. The driver side is rusted through but not other. This a design flaw and Mercedes Benz should have recall. Many other people have reported this problem. I have serviced my vehicle via the MB dealership since owning the car. The only owner. No one told about the rust issue for years. I was recently just told recently. This is dangerous and will cause an accident.”
