| Description of the problem | I was provided a notice of an airbag recall over two years ago on a three year old vehicle. The dealers says they have been waiting for parts. I have called mercedes national and they said there is nothing i can do. It appears nothing is happening and no one has a solution yet i drive a vehicle everyday all day that could explode on me and send metal fragments into my face and neck. This is stressfull and i have send a letter to my family members to document this and sue all involved if i end up passing away over this while waiting in limbo. The press and government need to get involved as this is a national issue that is being ignored and many lives are at stake. |
