Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Takata airbag recall - i contacted the mercedes benz dealership where i purchased my vehicle and told them i did not feel safe driving my vehicle. They immediately forwarded my call to a hotline for mercedes benz usa, and i was told that my car is safe to drive and that mercedes will not offer me a rental car to drive while i wait for replacement parts. They went as far as to send me a letter explicitly saying that they believe "there is no reason for you to stop driving your vehicle." there is no estimated timeline for the replacement parts. There wouldn't be a recall if there wasn't a safety risk and mercedes benz isn't doing anything to ease customers' fears or ensure our safety. I live about a mile from the beach and it is humid. Not only do i not feel safe, the resale value of my car is likely impacted if i wanted to purchase a new, safer vehicle. Mercedes benz should be mandated to offer rental cars while we wait for our replacement airbags. It's not "precautionary" to issue a recall and then wait months (or potentially years) to fix the problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
