Description of the problem	This vehicle safety complaint is really a notification of lawlessness. I was notified in may 2016 of the air bag recall. It's now been 3 yrs and i continue to drive a vehicle known to have a defective takata airbag. An airbag that "under certain circumstances during a crash that necessitates frontal airbag deployment, the defect in your passenger-side airbag inflator may cause he airbag to explode......... Resulting in sharp metal fragments striking the front passenger or other occupants, possibly causing serious injury or death"!! I think 3 yrs waiting for this potential disaster is ridiculous, lawless and needs to be addressed. My local mercedes dealer points the finger to mercedes and does not believe removing a potentially fatal airbag is an option. An just today i receive yet another letter stating replacement parts are not yet available. Seriously? 3 yrs later? Repairs are prioritized according to "risk factors". Everyone involved with this recall best pray i do not get into an accident as the law suit will be amazing!
