“Takata recall we have been notified in february of 2016 and it is now november of 2016 and still no parts. We can't sell the car because I don't want to pass the problem onto another person and mercedes won't give us a loaner so we have a potential risk. Telling us that it is a minimal risk doesn't help. This is beyond irresponsible! Can you please advise”
NHTSA complaint #10925705, filed 2016-11, 95,000 miles“Takata recall. I checked my VIN immediately following the announcement of the takata recall in 2016, and found that my car is impacted by this recall. I then contacted the local mercedes dealer to schedule the airbags replacement, but was advised that they will contact me once they receive the replacement air bags. I kept checking with them every 3 months, but received the same response. I just received a notice that takata filed recently for chapter 11 in the us. …”
NHTSA complaint #11062920, filed 2018-01, 85,000 miles“I had just arrived at church and noticed the car leaning to the right side. I ignored it at first thinking maybe the driveway was uneven. When I got ready to leave my boyfriend pointed it out to me that the truck was leaning to the right. I took it to a shop to be checked out and they couldn't figure it out. There was no message regarding anything on the message board except service c was so many miles overdue. Called mercedes and they told me rear air bag. Cost would be around $1600. Cant understand why the dealer would not put a recall fir this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10648700, filed 2014-10, 67,720 miles“Car was hit by a pot hole around 2 inches deep on the passenger side. Immediately there was a loud noise and all the side airbags on the driver side deployed. There was no signs of damage to the tires and not even a scratch to the body.”
NHTSA complaint #10860421, filed 2016-04, 48,700 miles“Takata recall I have repeatedly received mail that my R350 has had a safety recall that urgently needs to be addressed. For over a year I have been contacting my dealer and I am told that the parts are not available. According to takata, in the event of an inflatorrupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may resultin injury or death to vehicle occupants. Recall incomplete. …”
