| Description of the problem | Takata recall. It seems to me that the government is protecting the manufactures and not the public. Mercedes, in particular, keeps pushing any action. If you read their extension letter dated 3/1/2018. Https://www. Nhtsa. Gov/sites/nhtsa. Dot. Gov/files/documents/redacted_-_mbusa_extension_request_for_priority_group_4_3. 1. 18_revised. Pdf it's pretty clear that addressing this is low on their priority list. They claim to have trouble obtaining a car and shipping it to germany. Give me a break. I could have the car in less than a week and ship in another week to germany. They ask for an extension until 6/30/2018. I now see that they have pushed it until 12/31/2018, probably because they are having trouble finding another model. I ask that you protect the public and stop giving extensions for ridiculous reason like not being able to obtain a particular model. They have had 2 years to do what i could do in a day.
