| Description of the problem | Takata recall: i was informed by mercedes regarding recall on driver's airbag in april/may 2015. I inquired to corporate if my passenger side airbag was in jeopardy and was told no. Later on, i received a notice that the the passenger ones were not good either. Have been calling the mercedes corporate office and our local dealer, myrtle beach automotive for 2 yrs and 8 months. Still they do not have the replacement parts. I get a letter from corporate stating i will be called when replacement parts are available. I am afraid to drive my car. I would like to sell it, but it bothers my conscious. My car has only 42,000 miles on it and it does not hold its value like they did years ago. I want the airbags replaced now!!! |
