| Description of the problem | We have been notified by our mercedes dealer that our car has been identified as having the defective airbags but for over a year they have said they don't have the parts to help. Now a federal court ruling informs us that we can indeed schedule a free repair but mercedes still says they can't help. Calling the numbers on the notification letter just gives us automatic answering machines stating we have to call mercedes but mercedes benz fletcher jones imports las vegas just says no. We would like the airbag changed before something bad happens. What do we do? /[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
