| Description of the problem | Takata recall in dec 2017 i was notified that my airbag initiators required replacement and parts would be available by march 31,2018. According to mercedes they have no idea as of today (10/22/2018) when the parts will be available. I have intentionally avoided driving the vehicle for almost one year because of the hazard that exists with the airbag. ( i have driven the vehicle less than 1500 miles since last december) this situation is unsatisfactory. My patience has ended. Other than selling the vehicle, what are my options now ? |
