| Description of the problem | Takata recall i bought my vehicle from mercedes benz of long beach on july 10, 2017. When i purchased the vehicle they did not inform me of any recalls! I search my vin today 1/05/2019 thru the website and i find out there is 2 recalls from 2016 and it says there are no remedies yet available and the problem was established since 2016! I take this recall seriously as it says the airbag may explode and sharp pieces or shrapnel may hit the driver causing serious injury or death. I was driving the vehicle everyday to work,to do errands, and to school but now since finding out that the airbag can kill you instead of saving you i will stop driving the car until there is a solution. I really feel deceived from mercedes benz of long beach for not telling me that there is a very serious recall regarding the airbags equipped on the vehicle i purchased from them. If there is yet to be a remedy for this problem i feel as if mercedes benz of long beach should provide a loaner vehicle until there is a solution to this problem. I know that if i continue to drive the vehicle as is and i happen to get into an accident it will not be a good situation on both ends. |
