| Description of the problem | Takata recall- my son is about to get his license on july 11th, he will be 16 on july 6th. We bought him this mercedes back in march 2016. I am afraid for him to drive it with the death and injuries takata airbags have cause people. However, we have not received any recall notice to get it repaired/replaced. I called mercedes with no answer for me. I am scared for his life, he is a new driver and if he hits something and the airbag deploys he could die. This is the most insane thing i have ever had to deal with. I need an answer better than i will get a recall notice for repair/replacement in the next year or two. This is urgent. This is my son's life we are talking about and i can not afford to get rid of the car now!! I feel this car should not have been sold without it being fixed first. |
