| Description of the problem | Takata inflators - i received a letter from mercedes benz stating what's wrong with the airbags, all the dangers (including death) and that i'm in group priority 7. I'm being informed that the part will not be available until 12/18 (this being 01/18). In the meantime i need to drive a car that could potentially kill me or a passenger. How is this ok? I expect a part now, not in 11 months. |
