| Description of the problem | Takata recall - i keep calling the local mercedes benz of alexandria and mercedes benz usa, for over 1 year and a half, they keep telling me that parts are available to replace the existing driver and passengers air bags. It is almost 2 years with the recall and still no parts available to correct the recall. I am not comfortable driving the vehicle fearing getting injured do to a malfunction. It is unfair to put drivers and passengers in such a great risk and fear. Also, i have another 2012 glk mercedes benz i am unable to sell since the recall was issued, as purchasers turn away when they learn of the recall. I am already at a loss about $4,000, in car depreciation sitting in my driveway unable to sell do to the recall. |
