| Description of the problem | There is a recall on my c-250 concerning the takata as well as the steering columm was told that it could cause airbag to deploy at any time. However, when i called mercedes they said to wait until the srs light came on and stop immediately call for a tow and they would bring it in and could take quite some time to get parts and repair. In my understanding if the air bag should deploy doing 70 mph on the highway it would endanger many lives. Not sure i cam comfortable with the answers i got from mercedes. What should i do next. |
