| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Mercedes benz has now changed the "priority group" of the recall on my air bags from a "3" to a "4", and most recently a "5." and the expected date of when "replacement parts [are] expecte to be available" has changed multiple times, each time extending that date; the last letter i received says "by june 30, 2018." the letter i received just last month says "before march 31, 2018." i am in florida. Everything i read says florida should be in a high priority group due to humidity. What is really going on? What sanctions have been imposed on manufacturers who are replacing airbags only on the vehicles they are trying to sell, as this is what the mercedes dealership in jacksonville, fl is doing? |
