| Description of the problem | Vehicle has insufficient electrical grounding that can lead to an inadvertent deployment of the driver airbag. Mercedes refuses to inform me of a date that the vehicle will be repaired. I was sent a letter from mercedes dated november 2017 and the dealers and the manufacture will not give me a date. I am unsure as i drive the auto that the airbag will deploy causing and accident and injury to myself. Why can't the vehicle be repaired in a timely manner? I am now in the 5th month and wondering if i am driving a time bomb. |
