Takata recall I have received multiple notices since 2016 from Mercedes Benz dealership in santa rosa, ca regarding the takata airbag recall (NHTSA recall # 16V081, #16V363) for both driver-side and passenger-side airbag modules under recall campaign #2018120017. I have been notified since December of 2018 that the parts are now available for this recall campaign, including emails from the dealership stating that the repair is "extremely urgent" and that failure to complete the repair may result in severe injury or death to driver and/or passengers. However, I have scheduled the service appointment multiple times, only to be told that the parts are actually not available. The dealer is unable to give me any estimate of when the parts for this recall will actually be available. Please help me expedite the repair with the dealership, Mercedes Benz of santa rosa (2885 corby ave santa rosa, ca 95407 (888) 878‑0186)

Takata recall I've been waiting foe 3 years with a loaded gun pointed at my chest center mass to get my airbag recall repair on a car that I bought from the dealer as fully reconditioned. When is this repair actually take place, because takata got out from under the financial responsibility by filing bankruptcy, and reorganizing and now the new corporation is taking their sweet time making a profit on every recall performed, and we just have to wait and hope our cars don't explode and shoot shrapnel into our chests. Not why I bought a Mercedes Benz.

Tamara recall. It's been a year and 4 months since I received a letter from Mercedes telling me they were going to replace airbags inflators on my vehicle. So far nothing. I'm afraid something can happen while my wife and I are driving. I want to know when it's going to be fixed?
