| Description of the problem | Takata recall mercedes benz notified me of the recall for my airbags in may of 2016. Since then i have received two more notifications postponing the replacement. On february 2, 2017, i spoke with teresa at mercedes (1-800-367-6372 ext. 4601) and was told that my vehicle was in phase 1 of the recall. The december 2017 letter stated that my vehicle was in priority group 4. A letter in january 2018 stated the my vehicle was in group 5. I believe that the recall of the takata airbags in my vehicle is not being handled properly and that my vehicle has not been categorized properly. I feel that my safety has been placed at risk far too long. Why has the priority group changed and the replacement of my bags delayed? Is the problem with mercedes benz corporation or with the nhtsa? |
