Takata recall" the recall on my air bag has been going on since Jan 2019 and the part still isn't in. It says if the airbags deploy, metal fragments can fly out and kill the person, this is serious business and should be taken care of asap! it didn't happen yet but I want a push to get this recall completed before someone gets hurt.

Takata recall - manufacturer has stonewalled and slow walked a resolution to replacement of the potentially deadly and dangerous takata airbags. Consequently, I do not allow my wife and family to drive this car fearful of the implications of airbag deployment. The car basically sits in my garage and has low miles. Mercedes communicated a solution in February 2018 via the attached correspondence but has failed to remedy the issue. I'm stuck with this car since its trade-in value is negatively affected until the airbag is replaced.

Takata recall. Received notice on 2/18/19, and Mercedes informs me that replacement air bag will not be available until May 2020. Given that the air bag failure may result in serious injury or death, Mercedes should replace it asap, or disconnect the power to the air bag.

Takata recall- my recall for an important airbag safety has been recalled last Feb 2018. It's now Feb 2019, 1 year later and there is no remedy. Im very concerned about the safety of driving my car with a defective airbag. I pay for the quality of a Benz car, so to still have my airbag recall pending is very dis-heartening.

Open recall without a remedy. This is a daily safety hazard as I am forced to operate my vehicle without a remedy. Being my car is a coupe provides another inconvenience. Even if I place passangervinto back seat, the recall states that any occupant could experience death or serious injury if the air bag deploys. I am uncomfortable driving my vehicle with no solution. This is unacceptable.
