| Description of the problem | I discovered from the nhtsa website that my vehicle has an open recall on the passenger-side frontal airbag. The remedy shown on the nhtsa website is for an authorized mercedes-benz dealer to replace the airbag. Two m-b dealers have told me that the remedy is not yet available. I have owned this car for more than 5 years, and i suspect this defect has been known by mercedes-benz for most of this time. It is time for them to do something about it. I do not like for my wife to ride in the front passenger seat with air bag deployment threatening serious injury or death. |
