| Description of the problem | Takata recall my vehicle currently has an active recall for the airbags, after being instructed to contact a local dealership to have the problem fixed, i contacted mercedes benz of jackson. I was told that they did not have the parts in at that time, which i understand. I asked if they could order the parts and was told no and that there was nothing that they could do for me. My understanding is that if my car has a defective part, the dealership is to get the part to fix it. Being told "there's nothing we can do for you is not what i needed to hear, knowing that i am driving around in a car with a bad airbag. |
