| Description of the problem | Takata recall: received recall notice from mercedes benz in february, but they have no replacement part at this time. I need the use of vehicle, but am afraid to use because of the recall. Mercedes benz is not doing anything for their customers as they are saying the car should be safe to drive. Is there anything that can be done to get a loaner vehicle or get mb and takata to come up with replacement part or reimbursement for lost use of vehicle? |
