| Description of the problem | Takata recall: it has been almost a year since receiving news that my vehicle has been recalled for the takata airbag and i am still being told by mercedes benz usa that they do not have the parts to fix my car and they have no idea when they will be getting them. Now, a year is an awful long time to drive a car with an air bag that could explode and kill me. This is not okay. I have been told that your administration is in charge of prioritizing which vehicles get replacement airbags and i would like to know what data you are using to determine who gets to live and who will be collateral damage??? My nephews who both drive ford mustangs have had their airbags replaced ages ago - why am i still being told there is no replacement date in sight for me?????? I want my replacement airbag and i want it now, i have waited long enough! |
