| Description of the problem | Takata recall_ i initially received the recall in may, 2016 for the driver side air bag problem, then again, in august, 2016 adding a problem with the passenger side airbag. It has been over a year and plenty of time to repair the problems. As of today, 7. 12. 2017, no resolution has been made. This is a very dangerous problem and should have been fixed by now. I contacted mercedes on 6. 19. 17, they stated that the problem is being worked on and that "no mercedes has had this problem occur", that is all well and good but i do not want to be the first. Once again, since this is a deadly problem it should have been resolved. Thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
