| Description of the problem | Takata recall - as of todays date, 11/17/2017, i have received no info from mbenz as to when this defective airbag issue will be corrected. Meanwhile, i am afraid to have anyone ride in the passenger seat because it is the side with the defective airbag. I am submitting a complaint because this problem was announced 1/10/2017 by mbenz and it is now 11/17/2017 and the issue has not been corrected yet. I have taken my car in for service annually at mbenz dealerships since i purchased the car in 2014 and it has been in twice so far this year for services and no repair to the airbag has been completed. I believe that this safety hazard should be completed in a timely manner, and it seems that i will have traded in my car before anyone gets around to fixing this. They have been unable to remedy this problem within a reasonable amount of time. |
