2014 Mercedes-Benz E550 Air bags Problems

“In stop and go traffic approaching an intersection on a wet road, the can bus failed, disabling all or nearly all safety systems. At the time, numerous warning messages and lights appeared on the dash for srs, ABS, seatbelt pretensioner, etc. The engine would not turn off using the start-stop button, and the vehicle would not shift out of drive. According the dealer service center, a rear blind spot radar sensor is corroded, and caused a short in the can bus. …”

“Pursuant to law 49 u.s.c. Chapter 301, I am submitting a complaint that NHTSA recall #17v627 is not being remedied within a reasonable amount of time by my Mercedes-Benz dealer. I have called several times since the november 2017 recall was issued and as of today (02.13.2019) they still do not have the part nor do they have any estimated timeline of when they will have the part. I am just told to call back.”

“Takata recall- the contact owns a2014 mercedes benz E550. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number 19v01000 (air bags). After contacting the dealer mercedes benz of northlake (10725 northlake auto plaza blvd, charlotte nc) and the manufacturer, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available.

“Both driver and front passenger headrest airbags have deployed for no cause. This is is the second time this has occurred on both sides. No collision occurred in both incidents. First time it occurred under warranty and Mercedes fixed the issue. This time it occurred again and the car is not in warranty. Without functional headrest airbags the safety is greatly compromised for the occupants of the car and can lead to fatal incidents. It seems like a recurring problem with this model as it has occurred twice over 9+ years and both times there was no collision etc.”
