| Description of the problem | Takata inflators: they sent me a letter back in may 2016 and in august 2016 stating that both driver and passenger side airbags are defecting. There still has been no resolution regarding this and according to takata, if the airbags deploy or if they do not could result in serious injury or death. I am driving my mercedes around and scared to death that they may or may not ploy and could kill my family or i. Srs control unit: may corrode and cause control unit malfunction. This is still not resolved on my vehicle and the letter was sent out in march 2016. |
