| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Our complaint is regarding the unreasonable delay in providing us with a good replacement part. Because of the recall we have been unable to use the car or risk serious bodily injury or death if the airbag should deploy and explode. In the meantime we have to find alternate transportation, continue making payments on the car, and are unable to sell it. Should we decide to use it and get injured by the airbag we will have no remedy at law because we they will consider that assumed the risk by using it even with knowledge of the recall. We wanted our replacement part months ago and now its been just too long. Other vehicles with the same recall have had replacements already. Mercedes benz is not acting fast enough and this delay can only cause more problems for our society as a whole as some people may continue to use their cars despite thew recall. We received our notice in february of 2018. To the question below regarding "when did this happen" i used the date of the recall notice. We have avoided using the car and have not been involved in an accident. Thank you. |
