| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I bought the car two years ago, and was never notified by mercedes benz of the risks that the car was going to be recalled. Now i want to sell the car because i am driving a "time bomb" and no dealer wants to take it as part payment of another car. I called mercedes benz and the earliest they can fix it is may 2019, over 12 months from now. This is totally unacceptable. I need an alternative while the car is being recalled that allows me to continue to have a car with no recall issues and that holds the value of my car, since today i cannot sell it. |
