| Description of the problem | I have been receiving recall letters from mercedes-benz since may 2016 for the driver-side takata air bag and in august 2016 for the passenger takata air bag as well as mail from tk holdings inc, but have not been able to get my air bags replaced. I was told i was in a latter phase and would hear something by march 2018, but have heard nothing. This is very frustrating. I have less than 45,000 miles on my car, meaning lots of life left in the vehicle, but can't drive the car due to the risk of harm and fatality. I do not want to sell my vehicle. I just want to get my air bags replaced, please! |
