| Description of the problem | We purchased a new mercedes ml 350 in october of 2011, in the past year it has had three airbag failures. Each time the diagnostics system alerts an airbag failure we have it replaced by the dealership, but i have lost all confidence in the vehicles safety equipment. Will these airbags actually operate in the event of a collision? |
