“Four weeks ago I turned on my car and saw a warning light that said leftside curtain airbag malfunction . I immediately called the mercedes 800 number and they transferred me to my local service center. I took it in and the guy was super nice, they provided me with a loaner and he said he would call me when the work was complete. He called me that evening and told me that my car was ready. I picked it up the next morning and the warning light was gone. Yes! Flashforward three weeks and the warning light came on again. …”
