Takata recall. Cars with this issue should be part of the recall. I have same exact problem as the 7th complainer.case #10574681. SRS light came on with 1 malfunction. The restraint system. I took it to the workshop to have the scan codes checked. The code reader said that there is a problem with one of the airbags. The mechanic thinks that the airbags are disabled. But the owners manual says there is a possibility that an airbag could go off while driving. I just read that Mercedes included 814000 vehicles in the recall. My car is not included. I think that this car might not be safe to drive. Would you please help out and have an investigation. Thanks in advance. (this I copies and pasted from a recent consumer) I didn't think anything about checking on my Mercedes until I got a recall letter from BMW 2 days ago and thought wow. I need to check no the Benz. I have had this same problem. First the SRS light. Codes are reading safety restraint and wont turn off. Then I have my esp light that came on and when read on the computer, it had read that this was also showing up as a long term problem in the history of this cars computer system. I can pull every paper work ever done to this car. I am the second owner and my close friend is the first owner, who bought it after law school. I have owned it 5 years. This made nervous, so I bought another car. A BMW and kept this one, because she is a great car. However, Mercedes or someone better investigate this issue that seems to be recalled in a biased manner and in safety and death possibilities, Mercedes needs to take care of their loyal customers.my entire family owns and buys these and never changed, because all of our german made and shipped cars have been the best since 1980 of our 1st one we purchased. I bought a BMW. Never again. Please investigate this asap, this is dangerous. I own 2 dangerous expensive cards.

I have a 2003 Mercedes Benz CL55 amg. The abc or active body control system failed and with very little warning, the fluid started to leak, smoke was everywhere and I nearly caused a collision because of the thick smoke and poor visibility. I had to pull over immediately and have the CL55 towed to my mechanic my mechanic, who specializes in high end Mercedes Benz told me that this is a very common issue with the Mercedes cl 55,65,600 models from 2003-2006. Mercedes knew about this particular problem and redesigned the later models. The original sticker price of the cl model is about $120,000. Mercedes knew about this issue with the abc system on the amg models but did not make a factory recall. I have know met several other owners of the same model car, 2003-6 CL55 amg and all of them had to have the entire abc system replaced which is well over $5500. Also, a website dedicated to Mercedes Benz, called benzworld.com, have numerous owners who have had this particular problem with the abc system. There is a campaign of current owners who are planning to file a class action lawsuit. The breakdown of the abc system while drive comes very suddenly and with very little warning. I am very lucky to avoid an accident when it happened to me. The repair is not only very costly ( $5500 ), but will continue to break down again even after being replaced by original Mercedes parts because of the flawed design. Instead of a class action lawsuit, the NHTSA should force Mercedes have a mandatory recall on the 2003-2006 cl amg models to address this potentially dangerous problem.
