| Description of the problem | Takata recall issued for both driver and passenger airbag in feb and may 2016 respectively. Have received many notifications about the recall but local dealer mercedes benz of delray always states that parts are not yet available. Given that it's well over a year since the initial recall notice was received it's quite disturbing that replacement parts are still not available. Because of the unsafe nature of these airbags this car sits unused in my garage, gets very little use and still have to pay auto insurance for a car i'm not comfortable driving. |
