| Description of the problem | Takata recall - in june 2016 i received the mercedes benz recall letter. It includes the language "possibly causing serious injury or death". We visited the dealer to ask for rental car reimbursement. The general manager said no. We called mb and they said no. They called it a "precautionary recall, no need to stop driving". A letter that includes language that their car could cause my death needs more than caution. I checked with the dealer today and with mb and still no estimate of when replacement bags will be available. |
