| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Been calling for almost 2 years and each time i bring it in for service i'm asking for airbag replacement. Every time "we don't have the parts" i call 800-367-6372 mercedes corporate to discuss and their answering service for takata recall states same "we don't have parts" and "mercedes benz feels its safe to drive" how is it safe to drive if it will explode on frontal crash impact with shrapnel?? Why isn't anything being done to fix the problem? Why are lawyers suing for millions of dollars yet the consumer has gotten nothing. I also own a 2015 mercedes c 300 which hasn't been fixed with recalls and a 2014 mercedes e 350. Nothing has been done. I also owned a 2010 lexus gx460 which was involved in crash, thankfully airbag didn't deploy but i got no compensation from any toyota lawsuits. The lawyers are getting all the money and consumers nothing! Not even getting vehicles fixed. Why can't the government step in? |
