| Description of the problem | "takata recall" mercedes-benz has consistently been pushing back the repair date for my vehicle. The initial repair date was august 2018, which then a letter received noting it would be remedied in december. When december arrived, my local dealer noted that my vin shows that there is no longer an expected repair date. I contacted mercedes-benz directly and they just noted that there is no remedy expected anytime soon. The company has also refused to provide a vehicle in the meantime while a remedy is being found. Personally, the takata airbag issue is worrisome to myself and my family and the fact that mercedes-benz does not feel any sympathy and will not provide another vehicle due to the major safety concerns is simply unprofessional. Many other automakers is providing vehicles to their clients, and mercedes-benz should be doing the same. They must realize they people do travel to areas they do experience high corrosion rates and therefore, they are more likely to be affected than the average vehicle. Mercedes-benz should really rethink their stance on these recalls for their clients. |
