| Description of the problem | Takayuki recall. I have been notified by mercedes benz (mb) of this recall but it has not been fixed. Mb has sent me multiple dates for the recall fix but have always extended those dates. The last fix date was sept 2018 but their recall web site now states the fix date is sept 2019. This is 3 years past notification and i am unable to trade or sell this car due to it being under this recall. Other car manufacturers have corrected this problem and advised their customers not to drive their cars until they were fixed. I continue to have to rely on my car as i am now retired and have no other option. 3 years of driving a car that the sales manager for mercedes benz called a "death trap" is 3 years too long. Why have other car manufacturers completed their recall and not mb? Do i have to die before i get this recall fixes? What is this agency going to do about this rediculous amount of time? |
