| Description of the problem | Takata recall--i have called the dealer numerous times and the replacement for my vehicle make is not even available. I have had the notice of the airbag recall for almost 2 years now. Lexus dealers are offering their customers replacement vehicles until their parts come in, why will mercedes not offer the same option. If these airbags are such a danger in the event of a car crash, if something were to happen while waiting for the parts to be available, this will create an even bigger problem than was started with. |
