| Description of the problem | Hello, i am writing to file a complaint that i was not contacted or informed by mercedes benz or my dealer in boston (mercedes benz of boston, herb chambers) that my vehicle (vin) was affected by the recent recall regarding the issue with the electrostatic discharge inadvertently setting off the airbag. I had to find this out through the nhtsa website and until now i have been driving around unaware of this serious safety issue and risk. My airbag was not deployed or i did not have this issue affect me yet but now i'm hesitant and afraid to drive without having this issue fixed. It also scares me that i have been driving unaware of this issue because neither mercedes benz or the dealer contacted me in a timely manner and it makes me wonder what would have happened if this issue struck me while i was driving the last few weeks. |
