| Description of the problem | Takata recall -- considering how potentially dangerous and even fatal the malfunctioning takata airbag(s) may be in my vehicle and that it has been known for years that the airbag(s) may produce deadly shrapnel, it is taking far too long to have the recall parts made available for replacement in my vehicle. Takata should be required to provide the safe replacement airbag components needed and/or mercedes benz should be required to ensure that the airbag(s) will be replaced immediately. The delay is completely unacceptable and both takata and the auto manufacturers should be held accountable to get this resolved in all affected vehicles. The incident date listed below (7/20/18) is just the date of my complaint. |
