2001 Mercedes-Benz C320 Air bags Problems

“I was in an auto accident and was struck 3 different times in 3 different areas of my vehicle. The emergency crew as well as highway patrol were wondering why my airbags never deployed. I never being in an accident in a vehicle with airbags did not know what to expect. Upon recuperating I contacted my mercedes dealership service department and was told that similar problems with the srs switch had occurred but mercedes did not issue a recall they informed dealerships to change out the switch on an as needed basis. …”

“Dt: car has had several problems from air bags to brakes to alternator. Owner doesnt think he should have to pay for these repairs, actually the main concern he has is about the warranty. Upon purchase, the vehicle air bag lights came on, then the brakes and alternator went out as well. The brakes failed due to a master cylinder failure. The alternator failed after the owner installed a new battery.”

“Consumer was pulling inside of a parking space to park and vehicle suddenly accelerated uncontrollably. Consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. Then, vehicle continued to accelerate with speed, jumped the curb,and crashed into a parked vehicle head on. Upon impact, both frontal air bags did not deploy. No injuries reported. Consumer was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem.”
