| Description of the problem | I have been waiting over 3 years for mercedes benz to repair my takata airbag recall. Each time i call the local dealership they inform me they do not have enough parts to fix my vehicle and have to work on the older vehicles first. The last time i called my local dealership i was told it could be march 2019 which will be approximately 4 years i have been waiting and continuing to have to drive a defective and dangerous car. I dont have a choice, i have to go to the doctor due to disabilities and also lost my job. It just does not seem fair that i bought a car as reputable as a mercedes benz and now i have to drive it defectively for over 3 years. In florida, where i live, i have read the possibility of rupture in the airbag is greater due to the humidity. Do i have to die before something is done? |
