| Description of the problem | Takata recall! I took my 2012 mercedes in for its maintenance . At this time, i was approached and told that my car was on the recall list due to airbags. At this time, i was informed of the safety issue and i was severely concerned for my 17 year old daughter. This was her car! I was told there was not a fix. That i could take the risk of my daughter being severely injured. Wow!! Let me ask you what you would have done! I then out of fear, traded my 2012 mercedes in. Took a huge loss and bought her a newer vehicle. Her other car was paid off. I had to put a dork payment on yet another car with a 2 year finance. Why should i be held accountable! I didn't put the airbags in the car. I thought as a mother, i was purchasing a safe reliable car for my daughter. I'm out $32,000 ... Who's going to justify this? Why should i have to eat this cost! I don't think so! I need to be reimbursed the difference it would have cost to replace airbags. Why should the mercedes dealer be able to profit off me as well? They will find a way to fix the airbags then turn around & sell the car @ the usual jacked up cost. This is not fair! Someone best find the answer. |
