“Takata recall my 2017 mercedes GLC 300 SUV caught randomly on fire while driving 65 MPH on the freeway. I was able to pull on the side.then while on the phone describing the situation to the service guy; I saw the fire and smoke entered inside the vehicle and I got out after a little bit cause the car had no power to open doors or do anything! I think the problem was with electricity! I want the car no more! I will return it back!”
