Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Takata recall - received owner notification letter from mbzusa dated june 2016 r. E. Defective driver's side airbag being recalled (see "mbz letter"); letter stated that no "suitable replacement part is tested or available" but when it was, owners would be sent "2nd letter notifying you to bring your vehicle in" for repair - "bring" not "drive" - nowhere in the letter was there a word about the vehicle being safe to drive, nor was the word "drive" even mentioned. So officially i now have a car with a defect known to have caused at least 10 us deaths, but no remedy. Most concerning are the documents posted on nhtsa website for mercedes-benz, which show mbz notified nhtsa of vehicles w/ safety defect (i. E. Exploding takata airbags), including my vehicle, on 8 feb 2016 (see feb16 defect). Nhtsa acknowledged defect notice on 12 feb 2016 (see feb16 nhtsa ackn), & stated "it is required that owners be notified of a safety defect in their vehicles within 60 days of a manufacturer's notification to nhtsa of a safety defect in those vehicles." why wasn't i notified w/in 60 days? On mbzusa website/recall faqs, they state "any customers potentially affected will be mailed... In april" (see mbz2 apr vs jun). Cya, break the rules & no remedy in sight. Corporate vultures. Nhtsa needs to hammer them please. Also concerned about recent death of actor killed by jeep in a different safety recall without remedy. What is nhtsa doing about this??? Owners are stuck w/ unsafe cars that can't be repaired! How is this possible?

What is Failure?
