| Description of the problem | For over one-and-half years i have been unable to operate my automobile with anyone in the front passenger seat. My mother is aged and has dementia and refuses to ride in my back seat. I also have four children which must be transported which is impossible to do without a safe front airbag. My mercedes dealership keeps telling me that it is, on mentor avenue, in mentor ohio 44060, refuses to help me with this issue and continues to blame it on mercedes. I just formally received a recall fro t. K. Holdings of monroe, wi informing me to contact my dealer. What now? The car is useless for me when it comes to transporting family or friends. |
