Description of the problem	Takata recall: for 25 years we have had a series of motor homes that we used for weekend trips and longer vacations. We bought our current rv (which is our third one) as a new vehicle in early 2013. It is a winnebago view that is on a 2013 mercedes sprinter chassis (vin: xxxx). We are very dissatisfied with mercedes benz and with our vehicle which has a long-standing recall for the takata airbags. Mercedes has already replaced our driver's side airbag, but after many months we are still on a waiting list for replacement of the passenger airbag. Our dealer, tysinger mercedes in virginia, is unable to tell us when our defective airbag will be replaced. This vehicle was intended to be the source of many trips for us during our retirement. After working for nearly 50 years including a military career, we are stuck with a very expensive vehicle that has a fatal safety flaw and we are effectively denied of the opportunity to go on the trips that we so eagerly anticipated. We reject mercedes' explanations: --the state that they have not seen any takata-related injuries in their vehicles, implying that incidents are all but impossible for mercedes vehicles. But nhtsa has determined that takata airbags are defective and the inflators could explode causing injury or death. Mercedes legal liability is the primary reason that mercedes decided to replace them. --we have been told by the dealer that if we were to experience an airbag warning light that we would move to the top of the list for replacement, evidence that parts are available. --they have stated that they are subject to manufacture, but this pipeline belongs to them. --they have stated that they are taking steps to minimize customer inconvenience but show no interest in keeping us informed. We want mercedes to repair this dangerous airbag or to compensate us for the loss of this vehicle.
